Drop-off Instructions

To use our free pick-up service, call your Budget rental location directly at the location phone number listed on your reservation confirmation. Pick-up service policies (hours of availability, allowable pick-up distance, etc.) vary by location so it's important that you call the location and make arrangements for pick-up at least 24 hours before your desired rental time. When you call the location, be ready to provide all applicable information including precise address, exact time of pick up, and a phone number where you can be reached at that time. Please note that an off-airport Budget location cannot pick you up at an airport that has a Budget location. In this case, either you must rent your car at the airport location, or provide your own transportation to the off-airport location where you prefer to rent

Used them in the US and Thailand, friendly staff, but limited vehicle choices. However, the car condition is much better than Shenzhou.

Picked up the car at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok. The service attitude of Budget Car Rental was excellent. After showing the pick-up slip, the procedures were completed immediately, and within a few minutes the car was brought to the airport entrance. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vehicle; a Mitsubishi Pajero with over sixty thousand kilometers is considered new.

The efficiency is not high, although the attitude is good. Due to being one hour late, the large car was not reserved, and there was no prior phone notification. I will continue to rent from here in the future.

The service staff had a great attitude and carefully explained all the precautions. They also informed us about the procedure in case of an accident. The car I received was practically new, having only driven 50 kilometers, and was in great condition. The store even offered child car seats, although we didn't rent one.

The company's service is good, but the Thai people are too strict about time. I arrived 2 hours early, the car was already there, but they wouldn't give it to me. I had to wait for no reason, even offering extra money didn't help. I don't understand why the Thais think this way. Also, the store’s attitude towards Westerners is better than towards Chinese. PS! Do they think our English isn't good enough? It's definitely better than their Thai English.

When returning the car, it was full of gas. Since I didn't want to go to the gas station, I paid cash at the branch. However, I don't know why 2109.23 Thai Baht was deducted from my credit card (it should have been 1800 Thai Baht). This amount was deducted automatically from my credit card in the afternoon after returning the car. Due to the language barrier, I didn't ask much. Everything else was okay, except for the deposit of 40,000 Thai Baht, which still hasn't been refunded. It doesn't seem necessary to hold such a large amount. Also, I had a local person call to communicate, and they seemed to promise an immediate refund. Overall, everything was fine, but the deposit process is taking too long. It's still not refunded!
