V disappointing

Very satisfied!

Overall service was satisfactory. The rental company should provide more information and guidance about the pickup and return processes. At the time of pickup, after making the payment, the staff only gave a brief overview of the contract. There was no staff accompanying us during the vehicle pickup process; we had to locate the car by ourselves. Once at the pickup location, it was not easy to find staff. The return was done at night, and there was no one present at the return location.

Very good.

The car provided was far smaller than had been booked, and no alternative was available. This was positioned as an "upgrade" as it was an automatic, whereas a manual had been booked. I don't really care about the gear system, that wasn't what I asked for or booked. I asked for a car big enough to comfortably fit 4 adults and a child with luggage. This was not provided and Budget offered no apology. very disappointing.

I was waiting in the que for over 2 hours. I have two young children and the wait for car hire is totally unacceptable. By the time I got to the desk I just wanted to get out so was signing up to all sorts just to get out of there. I have ended up paying over the odds for insurance and petrol costs. Overall absolutely shocking experience .
