Labor is expensive in the US. There's staff at the car rental registration, and the rental agency has many counters. You can handle the process as soon as you arrive. Booked a Toyota RAV4, but got a very new Hyundai Tucson with only 29,000 km! Quite satisfied.

Very satisfied

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.

There is a shuttle bus from the airport directly to the rental location, and the process is very quick. There are staff guiding you in the parking lot, making it very easy to find the car. Even during the early morning return, there were staff on duty who were very enthusiastic, making the return process smooth. Great service!

The receipt and the pre-authorization charges do not match. There are still a few hundred dollars in pre-authorization that have not been canceled.
