I didn’t even get the rental and was still charged

Agent Romy at location V8Z was exceptionally helpful. He was patient enough to educate me on my first experience with a hybrid vehicle and again when I had to extend my rental. I needed a vehicle while waiting for a new engine in my own car--a very stressful situation. Romy made it much easier for me. Thank you. I work for a car repair shop; I'll be referring anyone who needs a rental to you.

When we arrived they told us they didn't have the size vehicle we had reserved and confirmed. We had to cancel the reservation and find a new company which didn't have what we needed, ended up driving a jump 15 passenger van instead of a mini van and had to pay more money.

I could not get the car I reserved. Too long at the counter.

I reserved a rental car but when I arrived, they said they had no cars and that I would be 5th in line. (This is at a one gate airport.) Had to immediately scramble to find alternative transportation somewhere else. Very disappointing.

Bad. Reserved the car online. Paid for an Uber to get there. They didn't have the car or any car apparently for us to rent. They wouldn't check any of the other locations for a car. The guy was no help. Then we had to pay for another Uber to take us back to our hotel. Wasted time and money.

They canceled my rental then had nothing to offer me

8.0 Very Good
We were given an electric vehicle instead of the gas one we booked. Apparently PSP was closed for two days and so Budget supplied this location with extra stock: all electric vehicles. We planned to travel with the rental and it was extremely inconvenient to be bound to the charging schedule of an electric vehicle. We drove for one hour and our charge was already under 50%. After charging the vehicle for about 20 minutes at a public parking charge station, we had gained only one extra mile. In the end we stopped at a different Budget location that were able to swap us with a gas vehicle. (Thank you to the Ontario International Airport staff). Please stop pushing electric vehicles in your rentals. They’re very inconvenient especially for folks who want to travel with their rental (which id guess is very common).

2.0 Poor
It must be specified online that airport locations do not take debit card payments. When one searches on the Internet it says it does and then they refute and refuse at the airport location. It made me waste a whole day despite me being diligent
