Budget in US is the worst cars rental

Fraudulent charges, no signed contract but charged without permission! For nearly three months, no contract has been provided! They keep delaying and not solving the issue! Strongly recommend against choosing them!

Arrived at 10 PM, not many people, fast queue. I booked a 'Mid-size SUV' on Zuzuche, but the counter staff told me it was a standard SUV, not full size. The Zuzuche website couldn't switch to English, so I couldn’t argue with him. If the website showed the vehicle model correctly, it should have been full size. This was frustrating. If the website could switch to English, I could have argued my case. I was very dissatisfied with this. Finally, he agreed to upgrade me to a Toyota Highlander for free, which was the type I booked in the first place, as if he was doing me a favor. I hope you can communicate better with rental companies so the reservation can show the exact model we are entitled to. This would make on-site communication easier.

It’s okay

Fast queuing

i had problems with my reservation with budget. at the counter they wanted to see my israeli passport and drivers license. i had the passport but no knowing i might need my foreign license i did not bring it. they at first refused to honor my reservation as is including all insurances and told me to try somewhere else. finally the manager said if i could show a boarding pass or something showing i was outside the usa when i booked the car they would honor it. i did not have my boarding pass but fortunately i found something issued by israel as i passed through passport control that showed i left israel on dec 19. it was stressful and i had no idea i would need documentation as i booked the reservation in dollars in english and i also have a new york drivers license.

great rates including insurances works well for me as i dont have auto insurance in america. but i dont recall anything on the documentation telling me i would need a foreign drivers license to pick up the car. perhaps it is just budget.
