|Apr 2023Intended to book for Oakland Airport. Somehow got booked for an off airport location 20 miles away and closing 1 hr after my arrival on a Saturday. BL: after a $25 Uber, I found myself stranded in Oakland and unable to book a reservation with Budget (no vehicles available at the airport location). Very frustrating experience.
