It was horrible. We rented two cars in total and had problems with both. Budget is really unreliable!

1. The processing office is not located in the parking lot, and no one informed us. 2. The processing time took up to three hours! 3. We were told the reserved Mercedes A-Class or equivalent was unavailable, and only a Mini was available. We didn’t accept it, and they recommended a higher-class Hyundai SUV (forgot the model, a mid-size SUV), which was much more expensive (double the price). We repeatedly asked if there were other options, but ended up having to upgrade at a higher cost. Very poor experience! We booked well in advance and insisted to customer service that our requirements be met, but the outcome was disappointing! What’s the point of choosing a model upfront if this happens? In Vienna, our car was switched to a Volvo, which we could accept. A Mini is hard to drive and too small; it couldn't hold our luggage. Italian service is far worse than Vienna's! 4. Everything else went smoothly.

They added charges without my consent.

I liked the way the avis/budget staff at the Sorrento office worked as a team. The car at pickup wasn't filled with fuel fully as documented, but this was quickly rectified at a minimum of Inconvenience.

Both pick-up and drop-off very quick, car was clean and ready to go, staff was polite and helpful. Good service for good value.

Very helpful to find the best value car.
