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.

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.
