Without any warning, unnecessary insurance was bundled directly, and no one mentioned it. They just gave me a large paper to sign, which included the insurance.

The price at the rental counter differed from my reservation price. Although I had fully prepaid, the rental company showed that I still owed over $150. After contacting the rental company and the customer service of the rental platform, they finally corrected the price, but I had to spend an hour at the counter to complete the rental process.

The wait time for picking up the car was quite long. I was charged a high fuel service fee of $40 for not refueling the car before returning it.

The rental company's service efficiency is very high. The car model was the same as what we booked, the car was relatively new, and the fuel consumption was low. Especially when returning the car, the inspection was completed in just 2 minutes, demonstrating impressive efficiency. Very satisfied.

Excellent- helpful counter staff at check-in, and when the car I expected was not there this was sorted out very swiftly and I ended up with a different car, which was (to my eye) a better car all round anyway so no delay and a happy customer. I misunderstood the cost of the advance toll fee coverage at the pick up desk, (the fee for which seems poor value to me) but I was able to delete it later by visiting a different local branch where it was sorted almost instantly. Although I could not effect this over the phone the lack of fuss otherwise over this did impress me and I will likely put Budget at the top of my list for a future hire. Handing the car back was also disarmingly slick and efficient. Incidentally, I returned the car brim-full but nonetheless the fuel gauge showed 'almost-full', nobody quibbled so another brownie point for lack of drama there. All told a better experience than I expected and I suspect that was not just good luck.

QEEQ did a good job- my brother booked a car at the same time directly with a different company and I think I had a better deal- better car, better price, but I won't rub it in!
