CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUDGET AT JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT, SNA

Quite satisfied. Remember, the location is on the first floor of the airport, not the second floor, which is the departure area. I paid an extra $10 per day to get a different car.

I always rent from Budget, it's pretty good.

The dashboard showed a yellow light indicating that the oil needed maintenance. I went to a nearby branch, and they told me it was fine to keep driving. After two days, the warning upgraded to an oil change required. I went to another branch near the airport on my route, and they said it was nothing serious. Driving with the yellow light on made me uneasy.

Excellent! The staff were very friendly and patient in helping us resolve any issues.

Two female customer service representatives argued that a Chinese driver's license and a certified translation were not legal. Although they eventually rented us the car after our persistence, it wasted a lot of time and energy which was very frustrating.

The service was quite good. I didn't know the procedure and went directly to the car rental area on the basement level. Although it was meant for Fastbreak Membership only, they still processed my request, which was very considerate. Thumbs up!

The car pick-up and drop-off process is convenient and efficient. However, there might be an issue with additional insurance charges, but you can cancel it at the store if addressed promptly. It's important to pay attention to the rental contract.

This Budget company is deceitful. It's not my first time renting a car in the US. Other rental companies always ask if you need additional services and highlight the final charges, requiring a customer's signature. At this company, I explicitly told the front desk I had pre-paid and didn't need additional insurance or fuel services. The staff member ignored my request, continued writing, and asked for my signature without mentioning extra charges. After picking up the car, I discovered the additional services were added, doubling my original payment, which made renting this cheap Toyota Yaris equivalent to about 400 RMB. With this amount, I could have rented a BMW from another company. The service was also terrible as the staff was unhelpful and clueless.

Very good, excellent service.

The rental staff explained the issues very clearly.
