Car Hire Excess Insurance
Appalling and dangerous. I was given a car whose illegal front tyres were so badly worn because of misaligned tracking they were almost down to the casing and the metal threads were showing through. I only noticed this the next day when I could see both tyres in clear daylight. The discussion with Budget took some hours, the car being eventually trailered away. Budget could not find a replacement car locally and offered me a taxi back to Blagnac with a cost limit so I would have had to pay for about half the taxi fare and which would have taken a number of hours which I could not afford. I shall be making a formal complaint and will expect return of my money and compensation for hiring me a potentially lethal vehicle.

A very efficient process collecting and returning the car. No queues or attempts to sell additional extras. Car as specified no problems obtaining an automatic transition model

Very easy pick up I was contacted by Budget before my trip to check in with all the documents you have to provide on arrival. All I had to do when I got there was to show my passport. Within 5 minutes I was driving away

No problems, whatsoever. I recommend photographing the car, checking the fault sheet with their service garage and taken pictures at drop off. If anything does go wrong, you're prepared.

Ready for us and efficient. No protracted discussion about us taking out separate excess insurance which was a big plus.

Good service. Car hire is very expensive at the moment so would very much like if the cost came down.

No waiting, car nearby, easy drop off. Car was small but adequate and value for money.

We used 2 different cars during our holiday. We needed a larger car to start with and they did not initially give us the size requested, we had to argue for it so that was a bad start. The second car had a broken lock barrell which was not on their listing and I failed to notice. Luckily it showed on a photo I took so I was believed. Message is always be thorough when checking the car over and getting photos. The cars themselves were good and gave no problems.
