CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUDGET IN LANZAROTE

It did really. Almost new car .only done 1000 kilometres.

budget / avis believed car was not full to fill fuel policy. Had to persist and show the print out. A little frustrating. Also car needed a service and had a fault gearstick.

was good. didn't realise there was an extra charge for emergency breakdown and another charge for fuel fee even if you return it full. Don't like the hidden costs but otherwise all was good.

Wait to be seen by staff was close to 1 hour and then found subsequent to getting home that there were additional charges that i paid that should not have been there. Would not use again.

Tried to charge me for fuel but had to show them it was Full to Full. Then gave me a van instead of a car and said they didnt have anything else. Was asked to come back next day and picked up a better car. Hassle but worth it in the end

Car condition sheet was incorrect - unfortunately I didn't notice this at the time of pickup. Still hoping they don't try and pin the damage on me...

Hard to find as not clear that Budget and Avis were the same thing. Could have been made clear by EasyRentCars.

We waited around 30/40 minuties in the collection que for our vehicle, service seemed really really slow for each customer even though there were two members of staff dealing with customers and a third behind a computer. When it eventually came to our turn, we were told about the deposit if £1950 to put onto a credit card this was fine as we had taken out our own damage waiver Insurance. The staff member asked if we wanted to upgrade so £0 deposit on a credit card when we said no thankyou she seemed quite shocked and checked we were sure. We had booked a group c vehicle c4 cactus or similar, we were given paperwork to sign for a vw polo when we questioned this and asked is that not smaller will we fit, we were told yes you will be fine there is only three if you. We said we would go see the car and see if the size was enough for us as we just wanted to get on our way after a long wait. We walked away and decided to look online, seeing that a vw polo is smaller and is group b vehicle we returned to the desk again and joined the que after a few minutes the lady that had served us noticed we were back and approached us we explained about the different group and that we would just like the car we booked and paid for in the same group. We waited again and after a few phone calls we were then allocated a Hyundai i30 and so went to collect that. While waiting for the car to arrive we saw the couple before us who had still not left either they were on there third car the first one had an issue (can’t remember what) and the second one had a flat tyre they had been told it’s fine just take the car and you can get the tyre blown back up. Why would any customer just landed for there holiday want to do that?? And what if it couldn’t simply be blown up? This demonstrates really poor customer service. At the desk when we asked about getting the polo we were told there are no c4 cactus we’ll surely then you should upgrade us if you don’t have what we purchased not downgrade

Booking was fine and easy to do

Complete rip off - had paid a good/fair price through easyrentcars but then was stung by insurance at Budget. £3k premium to pay for ANY damage to the car with fire/theft cover or large daily amount to pay in order to waive any possible fees. No other options.

It wasn't obvious which rental agent would be dealing with my rental - turned out to be Avis, after asking at another counter at the airport.
