18 Days Trip Around the Western USA!

This was the worst car rental experience I've ever had. The car was in poor condition and the company took advantage of my jet lag and urgency to reach my destination to make me sign additional insurance. According to other reviews, they also charge for cleaning fees, among other things. If you rent from this company, make sure to check that it is Budget—Budget, Budget, Budget! The final charge was 30% more than the rental fee. Even though I filled up the gas tank, they charged me for a partially filled tank. I was furious! When I complained, they asked me to provide a fuel receipt, but I hadn't thought to keep it. The bank transaction record wasn't sufficient for them. This is a scam, no exaggeration. I've rented cars many times in the U.S., and other companies never behaved like this one. Extra insurance, cleaning fees, incomplete fuel charges—they always find a way to charge you extra. I chose Budget because it had the lowest rate, and I regret it deeply. It was a complete rip-off. My advice: Be wary of Budget! When I returned the car, I noticed that few people rented from them, so the bad reputation is well-deserved. Be cautious, everyone!

Extremely satisfied

Overall, it can be considered good

There was a huge line at the store, and I had to wait almost an hour to get the car. The attendant tried to get me to upgrade, but I refused. When returning the car, I didn't have time to refuel, and they told me I had to pay USD10 per gallon. Faced with the risk of missing my flight, I agreed, but then I was charged USD161 for 9 gallons. Definitely a scam. I've already complained on the Budget website and will file a complaint with the car rental platform tomorrow.

Quite good
