GBBudget rental car- O'Hare Chicago We rented a car for a weekend in Chicago. We flew into O'Hare and went to Budget to get our car. The agent quickly went through the additional services we could get from Budget. Several additions were put on without our consent and added $137 to our bill. The next day I called and asked for a refund I was told no! Now I know my business is worth less than $137. In the future, I'll pay more for a rental somewhere else if it means never using Budget again. because I am worth more than $137.

GBHired car via British Airways collected… Hired car via British Airways collected at Nice Airport, France. Qued ages at the main Avis/Budget desk only to be told that we would have to report to another desk on the 2nd floor of the car hire building and waited yet again to be dealt with. We hired the car for three weeks and hardly used it other than for shopping therefore very little mileage. When we returned the car to Budget on 24th April 24 we were asked to pay an extra 123 euros as they said the inside of the car was not clean. It was clean other than a few flower petals that had blown through the window and a few leaves from trees on the drivers side footwell that had been on my husbands shoes. There was no rubbish in the car at all. We have taken photographs of the inside of the car as proof that it was not returned in a dirty condition. We have never had this experience ever before as we always return vehicles in a clean state out of consideration. It was not our responsibility to valet the car prior to returning it. I think it is a scam to screw more money out of customers. It would have taken five minutes to vacuum the carpet. Cars have to cleaned prior to rehiring to other customers. We will be complaining to British Airways about this cheat but the blame is entirely aimed at Avis/Budget. I shall be emailing the photographs to Laurent Sculier, Managing Director of Budget in France

GBI made a reservation for a truck with… I made a reservation for a truck with Budget. Unfortunately, I had a medical issue and was able to continue with the rental. I cancelled the reservation 6 days before the rental date and was charged $50.00 to cancel. Budget does not allow for any type of reason for cancellation. Recommendation: Do not rent with Budget. Other rental agencies do not charge cancellation fees, especially if it is for a medical reason. Too many other good rental agencies.

GBWhat a bunch of crooks What a bunch of crooks! After an 8-hour flight, we found ourselves confronted by a hard-selling sales representative at their pick-up desk. Despite explaining we had insurance he insisted we need additional, and we ended up signing up for insurance that we later discovered we didn't need. To add insult to injury, they had the audacity to charge us for refuelling a car that we returned with a full tank. Needless to say, I'll definitely try to avoid them in the future.
