Great experience with the mystery car booking

Renting a car from the QEEQ website was very convenient. The insurance costs were confirmed during the booking process, so there was no need to deal with upselling at the rental counter. I've rented from Budget before; they have locations at airports and train stations, making it very convenient. The cars I got were always under 10,000 kilometers, so I have a good impression of this company.

The pickup location is in the lobby on the first floor of the Hilton Hotel in Old Quebec.

The car was booked for 1pm. We arrived at that time to find a huge queue at the counter, and a large number of frustrated customers waiting near the doors. It took ONE HOUR to get to the top of the waiting line. At that point the Budget staff member told me that I would have to wait for the car as not enough cars were available! I now realised why so many other customers were very angry and waiting also. When I complained about this I was told that my pick up time was 1pm and it was now 2pm. I replied that I had to wait in the queue for ONE HOUR! He told me I would need to wait for the car "10 minutes". As it turned out we had to wait ANOTHER HOUR before we were called to collect the keys!!! We had to wait with our children for a total of TWO HOURS before we got the car! This is despite the fact that we had prebooked the car. Very poor service! The Budget staff clearly could not cope with the demand.

Easy booking, would do again, but not with Budget!

The original car they gave was faulty. Had to return and replace it. Time was wasted but replacement was great
