    We chose Budget on the Big Island because the price was relatively cheap. However, there were a lot of people when picking up the car, and we had to wait in a long line. Additionally, Budget's vehicles on the Big Island are a bit old. We were assigned a Dodge that had already been driven over 100,000 miles, which felt a bit like driving an old tank, but all the functionalities were still fine.
