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.
Budget and Alamo are the same company. The signs at O'Hare Airport are terrible. I walked a kilometer to find the shuttle to the rental area. The staff was nice, a group of cheerful African Americans. However, the forced upgrade was a bit annoying.
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.
