The seats were awful disgusting!

I had a first time experience at this local budget… Obviously a franchise. They wanted to charge me for cleaning the car. They expected it to be exactly as I received it as far as the interior goes or they were going to charge me $450 to clean it. The car had minimaldirt as we only had it for four days. I had taken any scraps of paper and any large crumbs, etc., out of the car before returning it. I ended up driving the car home and vacuuming the interior. The man rudely looked at me and said I still saw a tiny bit of sand., which I can’t imagine is true. So the hassle of returning it would stop me from using this location ever again.

The pickup took nearly two hours, and after waiting, I got to the front of the line. An employee yelled at me and made me go to the back because my fastbreak number was improperly applied to my account. Once I got to the front again, I was told they were out of the kind of car I paid for and given a dirty minivan. When I went to return the car, nobody was anywhere to be found. So I parked the car in the return zone and left for my flight. Then I found out that nearly three days later budget had not reported my car return, and I had to spend another several hours in a labyrinthine nightmare of customer service I finally got someone to agree they would try and find it. My rental was not closed our until 4 days later and now I need to go through the same process to fight improper “late” return charges. You could not design a worse customer service experience, spend the extra money and rent from an agency. Never rent from budget!

Took thier mystery vehicle and ended up with a pickup. The vehicle i have no complaints on, the daily rate was excellent, the insurance for some reason when I booked did not take so I could not take advantage of the kayak rate. When booking make sure that stays clicked or they will kill you at budget with their daily rate. Ended up for 3 days insurance costing more than I pay my Insurance company for a month.

We were over charged and are in the process of fixing the problem. Person at counter overcharged us and now it's up to us to resolve the situation. Should be the other way around.
