Carseat price was more than quoted through website as excluded tax. Carseat installation was very very poor and wrong size for child. Would never hire carseat again

Counter staff was friendly. Took a bit of time to locate the car but it was in good working condition. We rented a Kia Carnival so there was enough space for 8 medium sized luggages at the boot.

The credit card charge was not consistent with the invoice amount; it was over 120 AUD more than the pending payment amount shown when booking through the car rental app. This large discrepancy is quite frustrating. I hope the displayed amount at the time of booking is closer to the actual payment amount.

The service was great and the car was in good condition. Although it was a small car, it had good power. Returning the car was quick; they just scanned it and checked the fuel gauge.

The service from Budget was terrible. The return condition of the car didn't match the billing statement, and there were several hidden charges.

The process was very simple. When picking up the car, I just had to sign some papers and get the keys. When returning the car, I just handed over the keys and could leave. They charged a $70 pre-authorization before the rental.

There are many Indian staff in this company. They only smile at white people, not sure if they are jealous of Asians or something else, but their attitude is bad.

The booking was really good. A larger car will be better but it was still a good car for a medium SUV. It will be appreciated to confirm to the guest the car seat instead of saying that budget can’t confirm the availability. Thanks
