It was easy to find the Rental Cars shuttle stop outside LAX airport. There were many Budget shuttles and the transfer to the store was quick. However, we waited in line at the store for 70 minutes before being attended to. The paperwork was slow and there were insurance upsells (which I declined). It took almost 2 hours before we could leave the store with the car. The staff noticed we had a lot of luggage and proactively arranged an SUV for us.

Satisfied

At LA airport, this was the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced globally from a car rental company, no exaggeration. The staff insisted I buy extra insurance, and when I refused, they told another employee I was crazy and would definitely get into an accident! They also implied any issue, like a flat tire, was my problem. The car I booked wasn't available, and the substitute had a shaky steering wheel at speeds over 70 miles per hour.

When we picked up the car on the 14th of August from Los Angeles Airport, the counter staff member called Bruce was absolutely terrible. It was probably one of the poorest customer services I have experienced in my life. He was rude, bullying and even tried to sell us extra insurance even though we had bought the full insurance package covering everything there is. He was mocking us and had an attitude as if he was supreme. I don't understand how can you have a person like that on the job. Never using Budget again for renting a car, if that is what the company wants to represent. I would appreciate if you would forward this feedback to his manager.

I got Hyundai accent which is smaller then the car I expected to get (Ford focus or similar).
