Easyrentcars.com GREAT; Budget Rental not so good.

There was a last-minute car change. The counter said that the reserved car was unavailable and offered an upgrade. After agreeing, went to the parking lot and found no car in the designated space. Asked a staff member and was told there were no cars left. They switched to another car and said it was the only one available, no other options. Very frustrating.

When picking up the car, I was given the wrong contract, but at least the issue was resolved when returning the car. It just took a bit long, both for picking up the car and resolving the issue. Takoma Airport's phone is hard to reach, and the same goes for calling other stores.

They did not provide the reserved vehicle and took advantage of our lack of English skills to overcharge us. Even though we refueled the car and confirmed it with the inspection agent, we were still charged an extra $20 for supposedly not refueling it. After complaining to the manager, the receipt was corrected. The manager said we would be refunded, but since it was a credit card authorization, we have to wait for the billing cycle to know if we were really refunded.

Rented a Camry but wanted an AWD and had to pay 140USD for the 7 day rental to upgrade to a larger Mazda CX-90 SUV. To my horror on the 4 day of use the car was unable to open and it took us almost an hour before we could reach the budget service line. In the end budget arranged a mechanic which took 1.5 hours to arrive and we had to rush to the Sea-Tec for my wife's flight via uber. Budget arranged another replacement car at Sea-Tec but it was 100% confusion. The replacement car was not available, and was given a chevrolet sedan which I disagreed given the higher price I paid for the SUV. Took me another 45 min to find a replacement car which was a RAV4. The car had its maintenance light signal on the moment I entered the car but I had no choice little did I regret picking up this car which had wiper issues when I was driving down Whistler mountain on a rainy day. It was extremely dangerous for my entire family who were in the car who feared for their lives the entire journey. I am requesting a full investigation on the poor, unsafe cars on Budget!!!!
