The queue at Budget was long and the customer service agent gave me the wrong information on e-toll charges. I asked him whether it was possible to pay cash at the tolls and did not get an answer. He just told me each time I passed through a toll I would get charged USD 9 plus twice the toll charge which I later found was the wrong information. Then they gave me a car which was not there. The parking spot we were told to go to to get the car was empty. We were then offered a truck which I refused. Finally, a car was just brought back and we were offered that car. The petrol gauge was not full. The needle was below F, but the budget agent kept insisting it was full. Finally, she agreed we could return the car with the petrol tank 7 eighths full. We then tried to get out of the budget car park but were refused by the staff making the exit as the car allocated in the system was not the car I was given. Do I had to drive back to the admin office to sort this out. I was not impressed with Budget.

The booking platform was great.

I saw many bad reviews before renting, and thought that by paying attention to all the details, it would be fine. However, after returning to China, I found some inexplicable charges. After negotiating, I discovered they had purposely overcharged me for two extra days. I actually returned the car on the evening of the 22nd, but the bill said I returned it on the 24th. I have requested the rental platform to negotiate and compiled all the documents, asking my colleague in the U.S. to file a complaint against them. I suspect they overcharge Chinese orders maliciously, knowing it’s difficult for them to deal with it after returning home.

Arrived at 12:30 AM, waited an hour in line to complete the paperwork. When it was finally my turn, the staff went to check the vehicle for 15 minutes. When they returned, they asked me to pay. Luckily, I asked what the charge was for, because my English isn't great and I didn't understand right away. I then remembered someone mentioning a mandatory insurance fee. It turned out to be true, but I declined. The staff wasn't happy. When I went to pick up the car, the parking spot was poorly marked and I had trouble finding any staff to help. When I finally found someone, I almost drove off in the car before noticing it was damaged—the front headlights were broken! I had booked an SUV, but was told this was the only one left. The staff was polite but had no other car options. After searching for an hour, I settled for a sedan, which had a big scratch on the back—thankfully, I noticed it, otherwise I couldn't have explained it later. In the end, we could only fit four people with luggage in the back seat. Fortunately, we were only four people, or we would've had to wait even longer. They refunded $80. We finally left at 3 AM, which really spoiled our initial mood upon arriving in the US.

The Budget arrival service was well signposted and quick with very small wait. The vehicle was clean, spacious and easy to find within the covered on site airport car park.

Cheapest provider with excellent customer service. Easy to use website and useful pre arrival instruction and helpful reminder info on day of drop off. Would recommend and use again.

The car was perfect as it was upgraded in to Dodug Journey, yes it was consuming a lot of gas but it was very comfortable, the people of budget in the pick up and drop of were so helpful and profetional ... it was a smooth ride
