Both pickup and drop-off were very convenient!

When we picked up the car in San Francisco, we waited in line for half an hour, and there was no self-service option, which is not as good as Alamo. The receptionist, who seemed to be Chinese, spoke English the entire time and was very polite with a constant smile, but we felt he was a bit deceitful. Despite having already purchased full coverage insurance from the rental website, he forced us to buy an additional $50 insurance without explaining it properly. He simply mentioned that if anything happens, we could call this number for assistance, and we agreed. He then presented us with a bill that was $52 more than our reservation. We almost fell for it. When I asked for clarification, he finally backed down. We even showed him our reservation which clearly stated in English that we already had all the necessary insurance and didn't need any extra coverage.

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.

Counter staff member was not helpful at all I questioned him on a number of things regarding the extra insurance payment he said was essential and he wouldn't release the car with me paying for it. After offered me an upgrade and I refused, he then gave me a Mitsubishi outlander which is a much smaller vehicle than the Ford Edge. When I asked what else was available he said. Nothing. Simple one word answer.

Car was good, and pick up and drop off smooth. Would have liked more explanation of the toll system on US and how it worked. No map in car or available to buy

Easy to use,price protection worked.
