California Highway 1

The work efficiency is too low, and the queue time is too long.

The line was very long, waited for 40 minutes. The staff near the airport thought we were clueless since we just landed and tried to upsell insurance, saying everyone here buys it. However, I had already purchased what I thought was necessary insurance online. I didn’t buy extra insurance for the two other cars later, and no one tried to sell it.

The car was nice, clean, and comfortable.

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!

Easy and fast process

First time using it and I am glad with service provided
