There is no problem with Budget, it just the office to pick up/ drop off the car is not exactly in the airport. Is a bit far away, not a huge problem but a bit inconvenientReviewed 31 May 2022

Beware hidden fees!Pros:I could drop off the car in the city, rather than back at the airport.Cons:There were a ton of extra fees, even though I was insured by my credit card, that ended up making the total cost FOUR TIMES what was advertised! This included an extra national insurance fee ($300 for 4 weeks) that was apparently mandatory. Also, as an Israeli citizen, I had to pay an additional $90 fee/tax because of that. I cut my rental by 2 weeks because I couldn't afford all the extra costs. Also, Budget only reported 1 scratch when there was a dent and about 10 scratches around the car. There was no one at pickup to confirm, so I had to take photos to prove during drop-off that I didn't cause the dent or other scratches. This ended up being fine, but it was annoying that I even had to take photos myself and that Budget didn't do this in advance. The car was ridiculously weak on the uphills (with 4 passengers), but I guess that's to be expected with the most compact. Also, at one point the A/C gave out (i.e., no cold air) for an hour during a drive. It kicked in again after stopping for a while.Reviewed 25 June 2018

Drop Off at Ben Gurion Airport SmoothPros:Easy to drop the vehicle off and get a shuttle to the proper terminal.Cons:Despite a sign indicating there was a gas station near the drop-off point, I could not find it and was charged a penalty fee for not "topping off" the tankReviewed 25 June 2018

The car was a wreck!Pros:The car ran as expected. It got us where we needed to go and the air-conditioner worked.Cons:From the moment we picked up this car at Shlomo SixT's branch at the Sde Dov airfield, we knew that this Nissan Almeira looked terrible. There were little chip marks and loose body parts all around the car. And there we a big cross on top, left by some long ago tape. But we were in a hurry, so we took the car. Then, we started noticing some other peculiarities and weaknesses. The radio knobs were missing, so we couldn't manage to use the radio. There was only one key slot, on the driver's door, none on the passenger side. And, to compound that problem there was no automatic door opening mechanism. So, the driver had to get into the car, reach over and manually unlock the passenger door, and the others, terribly inconvenient. We were not given any remote door opener. There was only one "low" gear. One drove either in "Drive" or in "Low." Usually, of course, there is a choice of at least two or three gears lower than Drive. This car really should not be rented in this condition. Or only by a company called "Rent-a-Wreck."Reviewed 5 June 2018

Pros:Car was cleaned, functioned well. Check in and drop off were fine.Cons:One SIGNIFICANT thing - I was quoted one price, then charged significantly more due to a "required" insurance that was not provided by my credit card. I would have been fine with this if so quoted up front, but it was not. Sneaky business - bait and switch.Reviewed 29 Apr 2018
