Not great experience. We had rented two 7 passenger “vans”. When we arrived we were told we could not rent two cars under the same name and they were not able to change it. We had to cancel one reservation and start with a new one. The 7 passenger “vans” were actually just larger SUVs. The two seats in the back were virtually unusable except for children or very petite people. When we returned them we were charged an additional 250 euro despite returning the cars full and undamaged. We will dispute that but likely never rent from Budget again.Reviewed 30 Aug 2026

Dirty car inside, like totally dirty and mark no damages, but there was damages and it was hard to c them at night what was the pick up. I was lucky to find the damages on a rental parking lot and make the photos, otherwise they would ask me to pay for them. The request of 2 credit cards as guaranteed was shock, they said we need two of your credit cards as it a luxury car. Lucky me I have 2Reviewed 30 Apr 2025
