We found budget staff great. They didn't try to upsell us. When we dropped off car we had a crack in side door window due to following a gritting lorry. The staff made no fuss and seemed more concerned about our welfare.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
I have used QEEQ several times, twice this year and price is always good. Holding car for a buck - great.
Budget staff at Seattle airport uses some manipulative tactics. First, they ask about the number of people and luggage, then tell you that the car you booked is not available and suggest you upgrade for double the price. After refusing, the staff claim the price includes full insurance and advise you to sign electronically to save time. If you trust them, you may fall for it, as I discovered the next day that they had added duplicate insurance, which cost almost as much as the car rental.
I had pre-booked a full-size car, but there were none available when I arrived. They even asked if I wanted a 2-door car. After waiting for over 20 minutes, I was given a bright red car. Two grown men driving a bright red car for a business trip, we were too embarrassed to park it in front of the company. I will definitely not use Budget again.
Everything else was excellent, the only issue was because it was raining. The store manager suggested we upgrade the car from the convertible we initially booked to a Jeep SUV. However, when we got to the parking lot, we saw the Jeep was also a soft-top and quite small. We went back to the store to request a change. Since the pre-authorization was already done, the manager tried to say there weren't any cars like the one we originally booked and suggested another upgrade. I mentioned I saw plenty of the original cars in the parking lot, but he insisted they were all reserved. Finally, I said if we didn't get the car we originally booked, we wouldn't rent from them. Only then, reluctantly, did he agree to give us the car we originally booked. Despite this, everything else was great; the rental point is conveniently located from the airport, return was quick, and the car was in good condition. However, it seems rental companies tend to mislead Chinese customers into upgrading. Hopefully, this can be improved in the future.
