Bargain car rental, great service, but ruined by scam at the end of the rental...

Reviewed: Tue, Oct 1, 2019
About Budget: 10.0 /10
Absolutely brilliant, and a bargain price for a one way rental - HOWEVER, the whole experience was ruined afterwards. I checked my bill I was handed when I got home and noticed that I'd been charged for ⅛th tank of fuel. The thing was the the woman who checked it in (a third party agent, not budget) didn't even check the fuel gauge. She handed me the receipt and said that's $56. I agreed to walked off. When I looked later it was for $83 - and there was a refuelling charge. I'd literally just filled it up before dropping off at the nearest gas station. I have all the receipts to prove it. A little bit of Googling it when I got home, shows this is a common scam. The check-in agents (as I said third party company) are on commission for extras such as gas tanks not filled. Most customers are dropping off and getting on a plane so won't look at the receipt, especially when the agent quotes the original price. Luckily (?) I'm going back there on Thursday so will be taking it up with the manager. It won't stop me renting from Budget again if the price is right but I'll be very careful when handing back.

“$485 of additional charges for something we didn't agree to”
About Budget: 7.0 /10
Here is another example of overcharging with Budget Car Rental LAX and despite using them for years, I think this the last time. Booked and paid in full #40548011 for a mid SUV 27th Dec-9th Jan and when arrived for pickup said they didn't have one available. All they could offer was a Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 open back truck which was so impractical for business and luggage which got soaked in between hotels. I didn't want all the optional extras apart from the unlimited toll charges as I was advised there were tolls between LA and Vegas and to be fair it's been years since I went to CES in Vegas so accepted but that was a crock of sh**t as I didn't pass one in 2 weeks. On return we filled up at Mobil 765 N Sepulveda no more than 3 miles from the airport so as far as I was concerned was expecting just a charge for tolls..... On the 11th January I was charged a huge $485.50 for additional services including $142 for tolls, $97 for roadside assistance plus and a massive $190 for fuel. Scandalous!!!! We have spent the past 2 weeks disputing this through QEEQ which to be fair are brilliant but they are not budging despite even sending a fuel receipt from my expenses only 10 minutes before the vehicle was dropped off. This is not acceptable for a multinational repulatable company and should be ashamed of their practices. If this is not sorted soon then we are going to use our company solicitors to persue it further

“Rápida, económica y segura”
About Budget: 8.0 /10
Hubo un problema de comunicación porque yo resido en Estados Unidos y por lo tanto cuento con mi licencia de conducir del estado de Nueva York. Por lo cual llamé a la compañía para preguntar sobre si era necesario llevar un pasaporte; ya que en ese momento no lo tenía conmigo y debido a que tengo la licencia de conducir estadounidense y me dijeron que no hacía falta. Sin embargo cuando lleguemos allí, me dijeron que como habíamos realizado una reserva española y obligatoriamente necesitábamos un pasaporte. Esto nos hizo tener que volver al alojamiento y nos hizo perder mucho tiempo y algo de dinero para volver a recoger el coche de nuevo.
