I waited half an hour for my car which was reserved ahead of time. The car was being "cleaned" at the time but when I got it the back door had some cups in it. Otherwise a smooth experience.

Need to be clear on which airport terminal. We arrived in International terminal but the car pick up is at domestic terminal. This was not made clear when made booking. Lucky the domestic airport is next to the international airport terminal. However is troublesome to enter into domestic terminal as need to go through security scanning.

成田からバンコク乗換えでプーケットに到着後国際線ターミナルに降りますがBudgetは国内線ターミナルの方にあります！左の出口を出て真っ直ぐ進むと国内線の入り口があります。空港内に再入場するので荷物の検査がありますがbudgetレンタカーを利用すると言えばすぐに通してくれます。返却は家族がいれば先に荷物ごと国際線に降ろしてから国内線に向かうと楽です。ガソリンスタンドは沢山あるので心配ないです。

I booked a Yaris, was given a Jazz but no complaints. It was a basic car. Would be nice if it comes with at least a reverse sensor. If you fly in via the international terminal at Phuket airport, Budget’s counter is at the domestic terminal which is just a short walk away.

Please put a signage at the international arrival terminal as your location is at domestic, we wasted more than 30 mins at the international terminal to look for your booth, finally, we only found out that, your booth is at domestic terminal.

Request for child seats not passed to Budget from Easyrentcars. No seats were available at location because it was high season. We needed to purchase seats from a competitor hire company at a cost of 2.5x quoted by easyrentcars eating into our spending budget for the holiday.

I very rarely complain but for your information the two ladies at the budget desk were the most rude and disinterested staff I have ever come across. For future, I would suggest that they are spoken to so it doesn’t happen in future.

car was almost brand new. finding the location was a little bit confusing as it is located in a separate terminal which you have to go out to get to. service on pickup and drop of was great, the guy who checked the car upon return even brought us to the nearest petrol station to refill instead of us paying the rental company rate which was a really nice touch.

Couldn't rent the car. Upon arrival, Budget said we hadn't paid the deposit. I had clearly paid 100 yuan on Taobao. They gave me a different and more expensive price.

The service was good. We added some insurance, so the actual cost was higher than the price on the reservation, around 310 THB per day. As it was our first time renting a car abroad, we accepted it for safety reasons. Budget doesn't have a counter inside the airport arrival hall, so we had to walk to the rental company. Fortunately, it wasn't far, and you can see it right outside the airport. When returning the car, they drove us to the departure hall entrance.

A very professional chain rental company with dedicated parking spaces at major airports. From picking up the car to returning it, everything was very convenient! The car was clean and tidy with excellent power! I truly enjoyed the self-driving experience! Budget will be my first choice for renting a car abroad next time.
