Poor service from Budget. Excellent service from EasyRentCars

Budget didn't have a vehicle for me. I have a disabled daughter and specifically booked a minivan so we had space for luggage and wheelchair. After waiting over an hour at the rental counter I was sent to collect an "upgraded" vehicle. No vehicle in the alloted space - it had been given to someone else. In total over 3 hours before I had a vehicle and was able to leave the airport. Shockingly bad service. Never again!

I would suggest that a separate counter be open for people that have already booked cars online and received the paperwork. (fast track) save the customer time and frustration after long flights. Quing for 40 - 50 mins then a further 20 mins at desk

Free upgrade due to the time taken to check out. Dealt with two staff / first was poor and abrupt - the second was a polar opposite!

Price drop worked well and saved an additional £30

We waited in line for over an hour before we reached the desk where we were then offered a Volkswagen beetle instead of the Ford mustang convertible we had booked months before because there was no mustang available (it does state or similar but anyone who believes a VW beetle is similar to a Ford mustang is delusional!!). We were then told if we waited 20 minutes we could have a mustang from another hire company (Avis). We waited over an hour then finally went back to the desk and we were told there is a blue mustang waiting for us. We went to collect the car and realised the paperwork was for a red mustang which we found and confirmed with Avis staff was the correct car.. as I went to drive off I realised the rear view mirror was completely hanging off.. we tried to fix it but couldnt so spent ages trying to get help from staff. Eventually someone arranged for a different mustang to be bought over from Avis, this took another 45 minutes, when this arrived it had no GPS so we had to wait a further 30 minutes for this to be rectified.. overall we were there for well over 3 hours which ruined our plans for our first day of our holiday. The car had also not been service as we had to buy engine oil and windscreen wash too plus one of the rear seat belts was stuck! Overall this was a very stressful and poor experience and we will not be booking with Budget or Avis ever again.

Worst service ever,the staff didn’t know what they were doing,we were in the queue for 40 mins and they wanted more money from me and was trying to get me to cancel the booking to rebook. Car had not been cleaned,full of scratches and I was told the car was orange it wasn’t it was blue.
