San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Back to Los Angeles

Affordable and plenty of car models to choose from.

The staff was impatient and tried to push insurance on me. I told them I had already bought everything and didn't need any more insurance, but the staff's attitude changed immediately! They were extremely impatient, not allowing me to ask any questions. Also, they did not inform me that I needed to return to the counter on August 6 to renew the contract. I returned the car as scheduled, yet they charged me over $240 in late fees. Renting from Budget rental car makes me feel unsafe!

They promoted insurance and child seats when I didn't understand them. I wasn't even provided with a child seat, yet the staff claimed I used one when I returned the car. This is clearly fraudulent.

When picking up the car, the store staff misled us about the car model. We had booked a mid-to-large model through the website, but the staff at the counter kept saying that mid-to-large models were not available and offered us cars like the Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Santana, which are smaller models. After insisting, the staff reluctantly told us to wait and, after further urging, begrudgingly found us a Ford mid-to-large model, claiming it was the only one available. When we went to pick up the Ford, we found multiple scratches on both the front and rear parts, and one of the windows was broken and couldn't close. Fortunately, a fellow Chinese staff member downstairs promptly helped us replace it with a relatively new Mazda 6. The attitude of the staff at the counter was really disappointing, especially since it was clear that there were other mid-to-large cars available!

Big company, the vehicle was in great condition, over 20,000 miles, and no issues throughout the journey.
