2.0 Poor
The pickup staff tried to put another day on my rental because I arrived 30 minutes early. When P asked why tge cost was double, they afmitted their "mistake". The dropoff inspector asked me to fill out a damage report over a pen-tip sized mark on the windshield. The 1st time in my life this has happened. I will advise people to avoid Budget car rental.

8.0 Very Good
Very friendly counter staff. Easy reservation process. Car was nice and easy to drive. However, it smelled faintly of smoke which was unpleasant. I don’t understand why check in process at the counter is sooooo slow.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Out of cars. Pickup took way too long because they were waiting on returns. People just standing in a line that wasn’t moving. 15 to 20 people in a queue that was moving at a snail’s pace.

2.0 Poor
Charged me $28.00 to fill a tank that was already full. Wasted my time on the phone and emailing my gas receipt to get it reversed. Wonder if this is a common issue at budget. Probably will not use them again.
