No car available, only various temporary solutions, didn't drive myself

Satisfied

The booked BMW 2 Series wasn't available, and switching to a Peugeot or Fiat required an additional 15 euros per day. Changed to a Lexus UX, and the price jumped from 184 euros to 800 euros. After negotiating for a long time, lowered it to 470 euros. This was the worst car rental experience. Waited in line for 45 minutes only to find out none of the reserved cars were available. They were upgrading vehicles, and customers were not happy, leading to arguments.

Terrible service, I placed two more orders afterward and couldn't pick up the cars.

The car was upgraded.

Budget wrongly charged me 112 euros for a small scratch on a wing mirror when I returned the car claiming that it was nor present when the rental started. Fortunately I had photographed the whole car at the start which showed that the mark was in fact present when I collected the car. I am currently attempting to persuade Budget to remove the charge but otherwise I will claim the amount from the Easy Rent Cars insurance policy. I was very disappointed with the service I received from Budget and I will not use the company again.
