Pros:I didn't like the way I was rushed through the registration process. All the information was in small print on a screen that I had to stand on tip toe to read plus the clerk spoke with an accent and with a mask was very hard to understand. She half read each page and told me to press continue. When everything was done she handed me the paperwork and told me to have a safe trip. Didn't tell anything about the car or where it was located. I had to search the paperwork. The car was in space B 6 which was marked AVIS, not Budget. I had to hit the button on the key to be sure that was the correct car. I reserved a car for $ 51. The paperwork said the estimated charges were $ 82.58. As it turns out I was charged $68.75 which was correct as I bought flat rate fuel package.Cons:The clerk could have been more patient. The information could have been where I could see it. I could have been given time to read it or the explanation of what was on each page a lot clearer. I should have been told the color, make, and model of the car and exactly where to find it.Reviewed 31 Jul. 2020

Cons:Went to pick up van for group trip. They did not have one, said they couldn’t get one...sorry. This van was rented weeks before for a Senior Trip. Budget did not notify me or try to communicate about not having availability. The lack of help or concern was most unprofessional . We have rented these vans for years and have never had a problem. (Not from budget).Reviewed 22 Apr. 2021

Pros:Easy return - close to the airport.Cons:At Melbourne Airport, they charged my card despite me asking to pay in cash and then argued with me when I asked to reverse the charge saying it would just be easier to leave it on the card. I was late for a flight so just stopped arguing about it and left the charge on my card.Reviewed 19 Jun. 2016
