Excellent overall except for the lady at the counter for which the score is zero

Good

Service was decent, no pressure to buy insurance.

This company is really bad. We arrived at the airport at 9 o'clock and had clearly booked a Ford Escape, but we were offered a BMW X5. The representative was Chinese and we made it clear we didn’t need an X5. However, they still processed an order for the X5 after completing the booking, which would cost us an extra $600 per day. Luckily, we noticed the error and requested a change, but then they asked if we wanted a GPS. We declined, and by this time, we had already wasted an hour because she told us it would take a long time to modify the order. Then they offered an upgrade to a Ford Edge, which we also didn’t need, and asked if we wanted additional personal insurance, even though we had bought all necessary insurance when booking. By 11:30, two hours had passed. My friend and I realized they wouldn't let us pick up the car unless we bought something extra. We had no choice but to choose personal insurance. The car we ended up with was an old Jeep, not the Ford Escape we originally booked, and it consumed a lot of oil. This was a very unsatisfactory car rental experience, and I will not use Budget again.

I rented a Hyundai Elantra paying $ 394.39 from August 1 to August 10. When I arrived the selected car was not available, the only car available was a Nissan Frontier and because it was 3:00 am on August 2, I have no choice than to took it. It costed me additional $ 327.89. That was my experience.

It was a great, hassle-free experience, given that it was my first time to rent a car in the US.
