Wonderful

The staff are very professional, patient, and attentive. Picking up and returning the car is very convenient, and it's close to Mascot train station. As a large company, the service is very professional, and the process is quick. When returning a car to Budget, they ask if there were any collisions and if you've cleared your belongings from the vehicle. Once you've answered, simply hand over the key and you're done. You'll receive an email within twenty minutes.

It's okay

This store located in downtown Sydney is very busy, as there are many other rental companies nearby. The staff are very professional and the processing speed is quick. When I was processing the rental, they made it clear that a regular English translation wasn't sufficient—they accepted only NAATI certified translations. The process required a credit card, the original driver's license, and the reservation confirmation. Everything went smoothly, and they explained the additional insurance and roadside assistance options that need to be purchased separately. At the end, they even provided a map, which was very friendly. Since we purchased full insurance for the rental, we didn't buy any additional insurance from them. Their extra insurance costs $32 per day and reduces the deductible to $300. The car had around 17,000 kilometers on it, which is relatively new. Later, we saw AVIS cars with only 6,000 kilometers, which were newer. When picking up the car, we carefully checked for scratches around the vehicle, and there were quite a few small scratches. When returning the car, they just checked whether the fuel tank was full, and everything else went smoothly.

Not bad. There's a counter at Avalon Airport's arrival hall with the parking lot right outside. This airport has very few flights, so there's almost no queue. Very quick. The car wasn't very new, having more than 30,000 kilometers. However, the condition of the car was good. Booked a Camry, but it was unusual that the car didn’t have a handbrake, relying entirely on the P gear. Each time I parked, I had to make sure the car didn’t slide before I dared to take my foot off the brake pedal.
