Cheap Car Hire in Brookings

I reserved a Fiat or similar. A Hyundai is not similar which is all they had. The woman at the counter was not pleasant. I returned the first car before I even left the parking lot because the smell of smoke was so bad. The second car also smelled of smoke and I found out the next morning when someone was about to back into me that the horn didn't work either.

Was overcharged with fees. Fuel tank was almost empty when I got it but was told it was full. Filled it up a little higher when I returned it. Told them about it and still got charged extra for fuel!!

The car I was given was 15k+ miles and a check engine light came on and the car wouldn’t work. The replacement car had a check oil light on the entire time.

The service rep at the counter when I picked up my car was rude. I didn’t really care overall.

Very convenient, efficient service. Windshields and outside rear view mirrors could have been cleaner. Minor problem.

The moron at the budget counter ran my card twice without telling me, which led to it being declined twice for fraud detection. He didn’t allow me to talk to my bank and tell them that i was traveling before running the card a second time, which resulted in me not getting a car at all. It was midnight and all other car rental places were closed at that point. I then had to uber and hitchhike to my friends wedding. A disaster. Never using budget again.

Easy check in and drop off process. Car worked out well.
