It was not good experience with budget. Fist they gave a which not I was booked. I received a car KIA picanto, I am 6 feet tall and it was very difficult for me to adjust. I found car wheel alignment was not correct and was risky to drive because when I tried to make steering straight it’s go left. I called their customer service but they refused to change the car. Rather the the customer service told me a magic information, “KIA manufactures this type of car that all car’s steering are moved in left, they are not straight” I had nothing to say, I stopped using the car.

The car was underpowered, no reverse camera, no GPS, had no power on the motorways and quite pathetic headlights. The Budget staff refused to honour my travel insurance I had organised for accident cover, stating that ‘ You must have a Credit Card to secure that’ or we won’t accept that.I have a debit card only so I was forced to pay for their insurance which was exorbitant. They did not explain any of this or show me over the vehicle so I was left to look up the manual to see how to connect my iPhone for Google Maps. Seems like the Car Rental companies are competing to see who can rip off the customer for the most money. The whole experience was unpleasant.

Acceptable. We didnt inspect the vehicle together and sign it off before leaving from pick up which was a bit of a worry. Car interior a little worn/tired but clean. No sixt branded car hire stickers/signage? I selected wrong airport for pick up. Additional charge was a bit high in my opinion but understandable

After dropping off the car with no concerns noted, Hertz claimed there was a minor chip/ scratch on front wheel. They sent a pic with their report. 1) this scratch was extremely minor 2) was not noted on return of the vehicle but apparently after the car was washed. Billed me £162.00 for this. Claim now submitted to alliance. Hertz also charged a £25.00 “preferred location fee - our pickup was at downtown Belfast location. Not sure how this is a preferred pickup location.
