Very bad experience, they enforce you to buy car insurance and it cost more money than the rental They charge me €35 a day just for Insurance my current Rental cost $10 a day so the insurance was more than my current rental. Plus I weigh two hours to get my car.

4.0 Mediocre
The car was old, wasn't cleaned properly and the key fob was going dead (battery). When I returned it no one was at the counter to inform that the battery needed to change or give me a receipt. It worked fine, but wasn't a good experience.

Was a little skeptical with pricing at first but all in all great experience.

Be careful when renting from Budget in LA. These guys add a “fuel option” to your bill — they say it will not be charged unless you return it with the fuel tank empty. This is NOT TRUE. If you bring it back full, they will still charge you the $100+ for the fuel option unless you physically go to the office to dispute the charge. The guy at the counter even told me that this is a way the guys at the counter “try to make more money” — so be aware.

They charged me 132 CHF because I dropped the rental off 7 hours early.

The counter staff in deer Lake is always top notch! Friendly and helpful. The car (KIA Sorento) was a dealers choice as per my booking, and I couldn't have been happier with all that space while traveling the island. The car was clean and in perfect working order. Thank you
