Budget in US is the worst cars rental

The pickup process was very slow, I waited in line for two hours, and it took them 35 minutes to serve each person. Despite confirming that I did not need any insurance services at the time of pickup, as all insurance and services were covered in the rental contract, I was inexplicably charged $183.94 when returning the car. This fee almost matched my entire rental cost, which left me speechless.

The staff service was excellent. They suggested we pay $8 to upgrade to a larger Jeep, which could accommodate our bigger suitcase.

Picking up a car from Budget at San Francisco Airport is very convenient. Follow the signs to take the Blue Line shuttle train to the rental car center, where you can see all the rental companies. When handling the rental paperwork, submit the driver's licenses and translation documents for all drivers, as well as a credit card for each driver. The rental cost was almost the same as what I booked on QEEQ. You just need to print out the order, sign it, and you’re good to go. The staff at the counter will give you a slip with the car’s parking location. Check the car for any issues and drive off. It’s much more convenient than renting a car in China.

The customer service was friendly and patient, answering all my questions. Since the options for foreign car models are limited in our country, I am quite satisfied with the car I chose. However, for this class of vehicle, it would be perfect if they provided parking sensors. The Dodge SUV I rented was in good condition and I was mostly satisfied.

When we picked up the car in San Francisco, we waited in line for half an hour, and there was no self-service option, which is not as good as Alamo. The receptionist, who seemed to be Chinese, spoke English the entire time and was very polite with a constant smile, but we felt he was a bit deceitful. Despite having already purchased full coverage insurance from the rental website, he forced us to buy an additional $50 insurance without explaining it properly. He simply mentioned that if anything happens, we could call this number for assistance, and we agreed. He then presented us with a bill that was $52 more than our reservation. We almost fell for it. When I asked for clarification, he finally backed down. We even showed him our reservation which clearly stated in English that we already had all the necessary insurance and didn't need any extra coverage.
