We were delayed at immigration with an interminable line! By the time we arrived at the Budget office, it was closed. After evaluating the options, I decided to hire a car for 24 hours from Avis; while I was in the Avis office, I heard another customer say that he had a Budget reservation, I asked him about it and he told me that Avis and Budget are the same company, so I was able to pick up the car I had originally reserved from the Avis counter. I was glad I did not spend the extra money on a taxi or additional rental, however a little more information would have gone a long way to relieve the stress and not make us waste another hour looking for solutions, after we had been traveling for more than 24 hours.

The car pickup process was very simple.

The car was much better than expected and very efficient. We did have to wait about 20 minutes so was delayed in leaving with the car but the guy in reception was so friendly and apologised about the wait. The lady on drop off was very efficient and had us turned around in 10 minutes. Would definitely use again

Booking was easy and the lower price notification was amazing! Would definitely use again.

The car broke down and the customer service was terrible and in fact the recommendations made by the customer service team were dangerous - they told us to drive it when the vehicle was not in a drivable condition and could have caused a huge incident if driven.

Counter staff did not tell me about the large number of toll roads around Denver which I was unaware of, or that toll pre-payment to Budget beforehand would save me money. Unaware of all this I was stung with some hefty toll costs which I now have to pay. Not good. My wife booked her car through Thrifty after I had dropped my car off at Budget. The counter staff at Thifty informed her of all this before she took her car out. I was with her at the time and wondered why I had not received the same advice from Budget!!
