Budget - Prague Downtown Information, Car hire Instructions & Policies

The check in was great but to find the car, it was very difficult as no one is showing you the way or which car you rented. For the vehicle in itself it was clean and was the car that I booked. However, it was missing few essentials for a car during winter: no window liquid was put in the car and we had difficulties to drive at some point as we had dirty snow. We had to stop and buy ourselves the product, and of course Budget did not care and is not ready to d anything about it. Second, there was no utensil to take of the frozen snow out of the windows, which is mandatory in a country where it is snowing a lot during winter. When we checked out, the guy that reviewed everything was super rude and did not care, asking us to contact directly the company.

Not helpful staff, non working GPS. Very disappointing!

Nothing regarding Budget specifically, but it was a little difficult to find the car at the train station. It could be a little better marked.

Budget doesn't have a great reputation, so make sure to inspect the car carefully. Even if you have full insurance, issues can still arise. We found several scratches that weren't documented when we picked up the car and had the staff note them. However, when returning the car, we discovered scratches on the lower front windshield that we hadn't noticed earlier. We had driven for less than two days and hadn't hit anything, so we're just glad we had full insurance.

Both pickup and drop-off were very convenient.

It took a long time to locate the car at Prague train station, but returning the car at the airport was extremely fast! We booked a seven-seater but got a five-seater, which was disappointing. Luckily, we were only five people. If there were six, it would have been impossible to fit.

Average. The pickup location is a bit hard to find.

The store was decent, but returning the car at the airport location took me 3 laps around the airport to find.

Pretty good, it's my first time renting a car and I'm very satisfied.

The pick-up point is at B1 in Prague Central Station. After entering the hall and asking the station staff, we quickly found it. There were some people picking up cars, so we waited outside in line. We were attended to by a serious-looking Czech man. Since our English is not very good, we were a bit nervous. When it was our turn, we handed over all the prepared documents. He only kept our passports, my domestic driver's license, and credit card. He returned the international driver's license translated by QEEQ. He asked if we would be driving only within the Czech Republic and had me fill out a personal information form. He confirmed that we had all necessary insurance and finished the paperwork. After the procedures, they gave me a booklet containing parking tickets for Budget parking lots, a Czech highway driving card, emergency contact numbers, our rental contract, and notes on the car's condition. The staff was very helpful and even drew a simple map to show me how to find the parking lot and the car keys. The whole process took about 10 minutes, very quick. At the parking lot, we found the staff, got the keys, picked up the car, and started our trip smoothly.

No response to requests for required claim documents.

Showed up a day late and was told there were no cars. Prepaid full amount and insurance, no refund at all. You could charge me for one day's rental for being late, but taking everything is unreasonable since you didn’t reserve the car for me and I didn't cause any damage. Moreover, you didn't remind me to pick up the car. I won't use this company again.

Poor service attitude. Spent a lot of time finding the car.

They never answer the phone.

We booked a mid-size luxury SUV, a Mercedes GLC, but we got a Hyundai Tucson instead. They told us it was the same class. How is Hyundai considered luxury? How are they in the same class? This is simply deceiving the customer!! It significantly, significantly, significantly affected the mood of our trip. It was terrible. We reported this to the customer service of the car rental platform. Their attitude was good, but there was no practical solution. They just said that the Czech car rental company insisted it was the same class, and there was nothing they could do. This was my first time using this rental platform, and I am very disappointed.

The attitude of the Czech people is generally average, and the wait wasn't too long.

Excellent

Smooth pickup

Great service attitude, everything was explained very clearly throughout.
