2.0 Poor
Had the worst car rental experience, bad service at LAX location. Car had 40 miles left on the charger.
N
2.0 Poor
Charged us for the toll pass when we didn’t need it. Since they charged us for the toll pass we decided to take the toll. The toll pass was then invalid and we couldn’t use it. We spoke with Charles and Evelyn who confirmed they would reverse the fee and send and email for confirmation and never did. Horrible service.
N
2.0 Poor
The service desk was awful. The rep at the counter was rude, openly annoyed, extremely unhelpful, and seemed to revel in charging us more when we needed to switch from an all electric to gas vehicle. No where in our reservation was it started that I was renting an all electric vehicle. When needing to extend the reservation, the customer service line was completely unhelpful and suggested the website. Overall horrendous experience, will not be renting from Budget Savannah anymore.

4.0 Mediocre
Per Kayak and the Budget confirmation I had a Mitsubishi ready for pick up at noon. However, when I got there to Budget there were no cars available. I am also fighting to recoup my $39 Rental Cover fee for a car that was no available. I ended up going to Enterprise instead.

Easy pickup and car was clean, smelled brand new still, and had great comfort. Rented a compact suv but enjoyed the VW Jetta though I don’t necessarily care for sitting so low to the ground. Drop-off was just as easy and would easily rent from this location again!

I was given a car not in the same category as the one I ordered. It was an awful car and the registration is expired.
