This was the worst car rental experience I've ever had. The car was in poor condition and the company took advantage of my jet lag and urgency to reach my destination to make me sign additional insurance. According to other reviews, they also charge for cleaning fees, among other things. If you rent from this company, make sure to check that it is Budget—Budget, Budget, Budget! The final charge was 30% more than the rental fee. Even though I filled up the gas tank, they charged me for a partially filled tank. I was furious! When I complained, they asked me to provide a fuel receipt, but I hadn't thought to keep it. The bank transaction record wasn't sufficient for them. This is a scam, no exaggeration. I've rented cars many times in the U.S., and other companies never behaved like this one. Extra insurance, cleaning fees, incomplete fuel charges—they always find a way to charge you extra. I chose Budget because it had the lowest rate, and I regret it deeply. It was a complete rip-off. My advice: Be wary of Budget! When I returned the car, I noticed that few people rented from them, so the bad reputation is well-deserved. Be cautious, everyone!

Not very satisfied with the vehicle selection; the replacement model was even worse than the originally reserved one. Contrary to the website's claim of free upgrades, the final price was higher than the preliminary quote from Zuzuche.

The service attitude was excellent.

Picking up the car in San Francisco was quite convenient. It was already past 10 PM, so there weren't many people at the rental spot. When choosing a model, the staff member kept saying the KIA RIO was not suitable for us, but we insisted it would be fine. She kept saying no, and eventually let us go to the garage to check if the car could fit our luggage. After comparing, we found the KIA RIO could definitely fit two 24-inch suitcases and one 21-inch suitcase. We went back up to confirm with the staff, and she started preparing the contract. When we signed and left, I later checked the invoice and noticed the amount differed from what QEEQ quoted. But since we had already signed and left, there was nothing we could do. The invoice showed an additional charge for something like roadside insurance, adding an extra ten dollars or so. Luckily, it wasn’t a significant amount. If it were much more, it would have been problematic. I recommend everyone carefully verify the amount displayed on the computer screen. I plan to book again in a year, but I see prices have increased significantly.

Excellent- helpful counter staff at check-in, and when the car I expected was not there this was sorted out very swiftly and I ended up with a different car, which was (to my eye) a better car all round anyway so no delay and a happy customer. I misunderstood the cost of the advance toll fee coverage at the pick up desk, (the fee for which seems poor value to me) but I was able to delete it later by visiting a different local branch where it was sorted almost instantly. Although I could not effect this over the phone the lack of fuss otherwise over this did impress me and I will likely put Budget at the top of my list for a future hire. Handing the car back was also disarmingly slick and efficient. Incidentally, I returned the car brim-full but nonetheless the fuel gauge showed 'almost-full', nobody quibbled so another brownie point for lack of drama there. All told a better experience than I expected and I suspect that was not just good luck.

QEEQ did a good job- my brother booked a car at the same time directly with a different company and I think I had a better deal- better car, better price, but I won't rub it in!
