Waited in line for three hours

Poor attitude during both pick-up and drop-off.

Picking up the car in Berlin was very convenient; it was just a few meters from my hotel in the city center. They offered an SUV upgrade for an additional 5 euros, which was nice, but since my driving skills are average, I decided to stick with a smaller car. The staff at Hamburg airport were quite indifferent, and they closed earlier than other rental companies on the 31st, at 4 PM, though my scheduled return time was 4:30 PM. So I returned the car through self-service and hope there are no other issues.

This was my first time renting a car overseas, and I was very satisfied with Budget! We originally rented a Mondeo, but the staff noticed we had a lot of luggage and offered to upgrade us to a Volkswagen with a larger trunk for just 7 euros more per day. This turned out to be the right decision. The car was in excellent condition; it was a diesel and had only 7800 kilometers on it, making it very fuel-efficient. We drove 1700 kilometers in total and spent 138 euros on fuel. Returning the car was also very easy and hassle-free. The staff inspected the car and immediately processed the return. The simplicity exceeded our expectations.

This experience with Budget was good as always. Very helpful desk staff. Easy pick up process. Good condition of cars.

Wide choices of cars for reasonable price. Smooth booking process.
