Chicago-Canada-Detroit

We've rented cars multiple times in the US, and this was the first time we were asked for a cleaning fee several days after returning the car. We never eat in the car, filled up the tank before return, and cleared out plastic bags and empty water bottles, leaving only 5-6 unopened bottles. We don't drink beverages. The car was very tidy both inside and out. We only took one photo of the car's exterior, not the interior. When we returned the car, it was inspected on the spot, and they deducted toll fees from our deposit. We even asked if everything was fine, and they said yes, so we left and headed to the airport. A few days later, they sent photos showing signed windows and a messy interior, which was not our doing. The car could have been rented to others in those days. We can't understand why we should pay for cleaning. They insist we caused this and need to deduct $125 for cleaning. We don't know if this is Budge's doing or if it's a decision by the rental platform.

This Chicago location is run jointly with Avis. Firstly, there are no clear signs indicating that members should go to the second floor while non-members stay on the first floor, so I wasted an hour in line. The funniest part is that I then waited another hour and a half on the first floor because all the cars were rented out and they were waiting for returns. I landed at 2 PM and didn't get the car until almost 5 PM.

There were three cars to choose from, and I finally chose the newest Ford.

There is a bus available at the airport that takes you to the Budget store. It's easy to find since it is located with other rental places.

The counter staff made me choose option with the gas charges of $66.45, when I specifically told him i will return gas full. The lady in Lexington told me about this charges and to call costumer service in Chicago. I did and the person was very unfriendly, seemed very busy and lie i was bohor him asking for me refund. He told me to send him receipt of my gas purchases, even though in the system was put that i return the vehicle with gas full. I didn't have time and patience to deal with him. I call costumer service in Lexington and they told me right away I will get refund within 1-3 days. I requested mini van I received Nissan Pathfinder. the car was spacious, smooth and easy to drive until night time. In the dark lights were so little i couldn't see the rode at all. I was scared to drive and very tired my eyes because of the lights. I will never again choose that car.
