The car was not correct! I booked and paid for a foord explorer 7 seater or similar but only got a Jeep 6 seater. Not the same and I paid extra for 7 seater! I went back to ask the budget cars rep and he said it was a 7 seater. But it was not and they would not check it over and said there was no more cars. We had to then pay for uber trips for the 7th passenger! This is no acceptable when I booked well in advance a 7 seater for 7 passengers.

So far since raising the complaint they have been co-operative and willing to raise the claim against the supplier budget cars. Including compensation for the costs incurred for it being incorrect vehcile. But this is only over email communication, I am waiting to see how this claim materialises.

Arrived at 07:03, waited in line for an hour! Plus, they didn't have the car I booked! Was forced to buy full insurance.

1) The staff waited past closing time due to our flight delay; 2) The vehicle was upgraded to a 7-seater with a large trunk, which we liked.

Budget is a good company. I booked a Ford Flex, but it wasn't available, so they upgraded me to a Chrysler 7-seater VAN. This car has a heavy chassis, strong power, good handling, and cold air conditioning! However, it does consume a lot of fuel, but considering the great experience, it was worth it. We drove from Toronto to Niagara Falls to Ottawa to Montreal and back to Toronto, and it was very enjoyable!

This is the fourth country I have done self-driving in abroad: Russia, New Zealand, the USA, and Canada. This time was the most frustrating, not because of spending more money due to language barriers, but because of the service attitude of the car rental company staff. In the other countries, even though I didn't understand the local language, the car rental company always made sure to clearly inform us about any additional charges. However, this lady had a very average attitude. When she saw we didn't understand English well, she didn't make an effort to communicate properly. When I asked if there were any extra charges, she didn't explain clearly and just said OK and had me sign. Only after signing and seeing an additional 200 CAD charge on my card did I realize what had happened. Communicating with her was difficult, and we initially thought it was a deposit. When returning the car, the inspector clarified with a simple explanation that we were charged over 200 CAD for insurance. Despite explicitly telling her I didn't want insurance, she still applied it. The problem isn't the money but the attitude toward service.
