Very easy to deal with and I had no issues. I first had a booking with Easyrent but after reading the terrible reviews of that company I decided to change to a more reliable company and I am happy it all went well.

Two problems: 1. Low battery warning on the keycard. It was the only means of entry and starting of the car. Had to go to YouTube to discover how to change the battery. I would have been stranded had I not done so. Budget should have picked this up before handing me the car. 2. Understandedly there were longish queues at the pick up. This was not the problem. It was not obvious that one needed to selected a ticket to acquire a place in the queue. The monitor displayed the ticket number being processed and the preceding numbers that had been processed. What it needed to show is where you were in the queue. I was quite happy to wait the 20 to 25 mins if I knew that's what it was.

Car suited our needs. Picking it up was confusing - their ticketing system sent 3 numbers to the same service desk at the same time. Everything else was ok.

The checkin process was very bad, although the car received was in a good condition and overall rental was satisfactory. We waited almost 2 hours to get our car at the Bologna airport. Firstly, even though there are clear signs for different car companies (eg Avis, Busget, etc), there is only queue with ticketing system. However, there is no sign that you need to get a ticket and lots of people, us included, stand in the queue into their rental company’s desk to then realise they needed a ticket! Secondly, the workers were very slow with paperwork.

If I could give Budget 0 stars I would. When collecting the car, I specifically said I DO NOT want any extras, no road side assistance, no nothing. I return home and I have seen a charge of £188 more than what I agreed to. 'You agreed in the written contract' - I would think after saying to the man 'I do not want any extras, I do not want to pay any more than I am already paying' , that he would listen to me and tick the correct box I had asked him to, not tick something else knowing there is a charge and therefore stealing £188 from me. The customer service team first offered me 15% of the money back, then 30%, then 50. So they clearly could have refunded me for the service I DID NOT ASK FOR, but wouldn't. Terrible. I will NEVER rent from Budget again.

One star is far fetched for our experience. Appalling. Budget. Stripping you of all satisfaction. During our experience on a trip to Sicily in Italy on arrival we had to wait over 1 1/2 hours to be served at the counter with no/little organisation as to how long the wait would be or where the paperwork was that had to be filled out before reaching the desk. There were no chairs or tables. As for reaching the desk we had no apology for the time taken or appreciation for our wait. Staff were trying to up sell cars as well as insurance which understandably lead to customers being confused and waiting much longer. Our initial response is to deny all add ons as paying for insurance outside of the company is much cheaper and less time consuming yet this still had a knock on effect on waiting times. Once finding our car we realised how unexpectedly small it was. We paid for the economy which included the fiesta/Yaris or similar. Yet we achieved to be given a Fiat panda, which on advertisement was deceptively advertised in the lower priced category which we had originally intended to avoid. Once we picked up the car we were told we would have to check it over for damage. As usual we had expected this yet the sheet given showed no previous marks on the car in comparison to us finding scratches, dents, scuffs on the bumper, wing mirrors, car doors, wheel arches and boot. Simultaneously we went to the desk to advise them, as we had been told to do so, on the damage found to the car to receive a very impolite welcome. The man didn’t check over the car himself looking drowsy at the marks we had pointed out whilst agitatedly muttering “small damage doesn’t matter” continuously. In direct comparison to this on other occasions we have always taken photos and recorded any damage which was previously on the car for evidence. To our dismay the car was dirty inside and out, making the task of seeing all damage difficult and time consuming it seemed almost certain we would miss a little thing, alternatively “small damage doesn’t matter” and with pointing out the main areas we left. With 3 adults in the car aswell as 2 cases and hand luggage the squeeze was hardly comfortable. After a week we returned to the car hire to be met by another unwelcoming member of staff. To surprisingly check the car over for us indirect comparison to our arrival. Barely checking the car body he checked the left hand side along with the fuel which was fine. Then made a direct route to the windscreen which had just been cleaned complementary to buying our fuel (looking much cleaner than when we got the car). To find a hairline chip which may have been there prior to our hire but was dirty therefore wasn’t drawn to our attention. The size of the chip was no bigger than the end of a sharp pencil and was not visible from driving on the inside. We also struggled to see the chip on the photos we took after it being drawn to our attention. We never heard a chip hit the windscreen as usual but the man argued that it could have been done when parked even though it was parked in a hotel car park with the bonnet facing the garden area under no trees. Now we await the charge of budget not offering even an applicable service on the credit card. In short.... * Dire customer service * Confusion on car size/type * No organisation upon arrival * Staff uninterested * A service which doesn’t deserve the star or your time If you decide to go with Budget just take into consideration the limiting factors for comfort, ease and stress free travels.
