Pick-up in San Francisco was smooth with no upselling. Received the invoice just minutes after returning the car in Los Angeles, which included an additional $18 for toll fees. The deposit was canceled within a few days. Very good service.

The vehicle was in excellent condition, almost brand new. Initially, we added a GPS, but later found that our Huawei phone could navigate using the internet. When we requested to remove the GPS, the staff initially said no, but eventually upgraded our car instead. This type of sales approach is acceptable.

The staff service was excellent. They suggested we pay $8 to upgrade to a larger Jeep, which could accommodate our bigger suitcase.

Although the queue time was long, the service was excellent. When I lost the key, the staff stayed with me the whole time, providing assistance and transportation. They had someone tow the car back, but I later found the key, so they didn't charge a towing fee. The next day, they refunded my deposit in full. Budget's service in San Francisco is much better than in Los Angeles.

Long wait during pickup, in spite of the fact that I was covered by recommended full insurance including road side assistance during online reservation, I was insisted to take additional road side assistance during the pick up causing an additional expense of US$44 per week.
