BUDGET CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN FRANCE

The service was average, and the car I received was completely different from the one I booked.

Car was clean and perfect for what we wanted. When we dropped the car off my wife realised after 20mins that she had left her mobile phone in the car and we were in the airport building. The staff were great as the returned the car from where it had already been taken, found the phone and got it back to my wife within 5-10mins.

Very good experience.

I have reserved a manual car, They provided me automatic. This was just fine. [Unless I get a supplementary bill for the difference in which case I would be arguing that one. But I have no reason to expect that.]

There was quite a queue on check-in as there was only one member of staff manning the desk but staff were friendly and car was as described. No issues returning the car, holds released from my card within a week.

Finding the drop off location was not easy

Love this platform

Friendly staff and smooth process

Worked great. Thanks.

I was dupped into taking an upgrade, when I understood that the car I booked wasn't available.

I rent cars in Europe for 200 days a year, and this car rental company is terrible. The counter clearly stated it was a deposit, but after returning the car and leaving Paris, they charged my credit card. When I asked the car rental company, they said it was for insurance. If I wanted insurance, wouldn't I have bought it at the counter? And they didn't even have my signature.

I was offered an upgrade at a reasonable rate, however they failed to tell me that the car was a PHEV and there was no electric charge when I picked the car up, meaning that it used way more petrol than it should have. Also when I dropped the car off, there was no one to inspect it

Very professional

성능이 좋은차로 배차해 주셔서 너무나 감사했습니다. 직원분들도 친절하시고, 나중에 반납할때, 나와서 직접 운전도 해주시고 마무리까지 넘 나 친절하게 해주셨습니다!

처량검색도 예약도 모두 용이하고, 징뮨에 대한 답변 또한 빨라, 너무나 좋았습니다

Should have acknowledged the customer the exact drop off location beforehand. It was my mistake as well to not to enquire when getting the car.

To have clearer and better communication with budget. I purchased higher protection scheme which able to reduce excess to 0, but the receptionist at the counter seemed have no idea about this and tried to sell me another package.

No one inspected the car. I just picked it up and returned it. This time the car was relatively old.

There were quite a few people in line to get the car.

the car could barely go to 40 km/h in the mountains. Otherwise it fit our purpose. We couldn't reach budget but somebody was able to go at the counter to change the dates and they did.

The car was clean and well equipped. Built in navigation was a bit of a bonus. We appreciated the six gear transmission. We rented a Dacia--I wish they had those in the United States. All in all, Budget did a fine job. Checking in and out were simple. My only criticism is that the Budget representative sought to get u to take Budget insurance, when we had already paid for the upgraded insurance package with QEEQ. But we simply declined and all was fine.

QEEQ has been a wonderful discovery. It has led us to discounts we could not find any other way. Our rentals have been seamless. We have gotten what we reserved at the time and place reserved, and staff have been most accommodating. I do wish one could modify a QEEQ reservation directly rather than canceling a reservation and rebooking the desired rental.

The process of picking up and returning the car was quite smart. The biggest issue is the lack of transparency in charges and non-standard procedures, which harm consumer rights. We initially completed and paid for our order on the app, where the terms were clearly readable. However, at the store, being unfamiliar with the area, we wanted three drivers to be able to drive the car. The staff registered the documents of the additional two drivers and charged our credit card a pre-authorization fee, claiming it was to cover potential damages or violations. After returning to our home country, we discovered that Rent-a-Car charged us an additional fee of about 200 euros (approximately 1500 RMB) for the extra drivers. (1) At the time of pickup, the staff did not inform us that adding drivers would incur a fee, nor the standard rates. (2) The rental contract was sent to our email simultaneously as we picked up the car, leaving no time to read or consider it beforehand. By the time we had questions, it was too late. (3) The entire process fails to protect consumer rights properly; the correct sequence should be informing consumers of the charges, providing the contract, and allowing time to review and agree before any charges. Instead, information is not proactively provided, and consumers only learn about the charges afterward.

Hidden charges, refusal to show the contract, forced to buy insurance, wrong information about highway tolls leading to a fine.
