They try to sell insurance.

No pressure to buy insurance.

There were many people when picking up the car, but returning was quick (possibly because I had full insurance). The free shuttle was convenient, the return location was near a gas station, and the car was in good condition.

When we arrived at the store, there were no cars available in the group we had booked. Without asking, they upgraded us to a different model that was in a higher category, and the price doubled. After negotiating, they finally compromised, and we had to choose a model that cost twice as much. They said it was the cheapest model they had available, and there were no other options. Our original estimated cost was $300, but it ended up being over $540. If we hadn't negotiated, the quote they initially gave us was $750, which was really frustrating.

Budget rented us a car with 3/8 tank of gas. We ask that be noted and they did. When we returned the car had over a half tank. They charged us for refueling and the gas itself over $120. We are of course disputing that overcharge with them.
