Nice vehicle. Didn't like the price,the upsale, , the lies,agent must get a commission for overselling to unsuspecting seniors..$294 for 1 day rental. That price should come with a driver.

Poor|Aug 2023

Why hit a gas surcharge when the driver filled it up and videoed the gas gage, and then there is no way to contest the fuel surcharge of 9.99$ as it is an ereceipt. Just makes me feel like budget is untrustworthy as that charge is a scam as I filled it up past what it was supposed to be.

We booked for suv…… but got sedan for same price. (Initially we got rave 4 by the time we reached parking some one already in the car. Later they said we need to wait 1 hour for suv. Later they said….they can provide camery immediately. But price is same for suv and sedan).

car was clean. check-in agent was friendly. however, are some ideas to improve 1. many companies upgrade customers just for the sake of prompting business, and keep happy 2. the car we rented sputtered several times. cars should be maintained more frequently. 3. car had close to 50,000 miles and that's quite a bit on a rental car. should be retired. 4. price to value is no good. I paid a total of $202 for one day of rental. that's is quite a bit. your rate is high, the taxes are high, and everything else is simply too expensive. 5. I booked a Kia Rio 2023, and I received a Nissan Versa with 50.000 miles on it.

Despite reserving and partially paying ahead of time, the wait to see someone at the counter was 2 hours, as Dollar and Thrifty combined made for a very long line of people. I don't think it's right that person's with reservations have to wait in the same line with people who don't have any reservations.

They did not have any cars when we arrived - and had to wait nearly 2 hours in the rental car office until they had a vehicle available.

We rented a car and got to the airport at 3:30 and called them to come pick us up and the lady said they closed at four and we might not make it in time, I told her we were ready for pick up at the airport and waited for the shuttle and nobody ever came to pick us up and when I called back, the office was closed. We never received our rental car and had to rent a car from a different company. And I’m still fighting to try and get a refund.

This company is scam and NOT in operation. I strongly request to eliminate this company from the website. There mentioned the airport pick-up and I called several times to the number(also tried the courtesy phone at the terminal) without response. I have reached to its emergency contact and it promised to come in 10min, which turned out to be more than 1 hour in the pick-up point but no one comes. Finally I managed to go by taxi to the office by my own expense, to find no one working in the building.

Price was very good. From the beginning, the lady at the desk was (at times) rude, not truthful, was also not helpful when explaining policies and options. Such as, rudely telling us they weren’t going to be open when we had scheduled our drop off and that “Kayak should have told you!”. She was not truthful when explaining the tolls we would have to pay if using the Golden Gate Bridge (never mentioning how we could pay a one time fee, or that we only needed to pay going into San Francisco) trying to get us to pay the “toll package). She lied when we called for the 2nd time for a shuttle pick up at the airport & she told us the shuttle had already been by twice (we had been standing there from the beginning.) The attitude was the main issue, rude and defiant from the beginning. The price was very good, but next time we will go somewhere else.

I was forced to include collision coverage then found it was optional, there was faulty seatbelt for one of passenger seats. Van bluetooth is hardly working. It is very hard to adjust drivers seat. Rental van could be cleaner too.

We never were able to pick up the vehicle because the place was closed after our flight arrived. We had to rent from another place. Total thumbs down!
