This was the worst car rental experience I've ever had. The car was in poor condition and the company took advantage of my jet lag and urgency to reach my destination to make me sign additional insurance. According to other reviews, they also charge for cleaning fees, among other things. If you rent from this company, make sure to check that it is Budget—Budget, Budget, Budget! The final charge was 30% more than the rental fee. Even though I filled up the gas tank, they charged me for a partially filled tank. I was furious! When I complained, they asked me to provide a fuel receipt, but I hadn't thought to keep it. The bank transaction record wasn't sufficient for them. This is a scam, no exaggeration. I've rented cars many times in the U.S., and other companies never behaved like this one. Extra insurance, cleaning fees, incomplete fuel charges—they always find a way to charge you extra. I chose Budget because it had the lowest rate, and I regret it deeply. It was a complete rip-off. My advice: Be wary of Budget! When I returned the car, I noticed that few people rented from them, so the bad reputation is well-deserved. Be cautious, everyone!
There was a wait for more than an hour at the rental center ..with only one staff attending for a majority of the time. The car was due for an oil change ..the next day after I had parked the car in my driveway it would not start at all ..the car battery totally died ..now how does that happen ..I got the key and locked the car ..shouldn't that have taken care of lights etc ..which btw I didn't even touch ( switch on or something ) and I checked after that the lights turned off after the car was locked ..also budget wanted to charge me like 100 bucks for a jump start request ..I got it done and also came to know the coolant level in the car was like super low ..That car had an issue and I was super inconvenienced for renting it ..only good thing was after several attempts to reach the local office of budget 30 min wait on multiple calls and informing them , they said theyvwould not charge me for the late delivery which. I was able to return the car around 1 hr late
I would still recommend renting, but the toll pass is a bit of a scam. However, it's a company policy, so just deal with it. The staff in San Francisco were very nice, but the African American employee at Ontario Airport in Los Angeles was not friendly. I personally felt that White or Hispanic staff were very friendly, while Asian and African American staff were not friendly to us.
The queue for picking up the car was a bit long due to many rental customers, but the process was smooth and they informed me of everything without any hard selling.
Labor is expensive in the US. There's staff at the car rental registration, and the rental agency has many counters. You can handle the process as soon as you arrive. Booked a Toyota RAV4, but got a very new Hyundai Tucson with only 29,000 km! Quite satisfied.
Great experience. They upgraded our car, and after we had lunch, there was almost no queue when we picked it up. We placed the order on-site because we were unsure if our magnetic stripe credit card would work.
