1. We booked a 'mid-size' car, specifically a Toyota Corolla automatic or similar on the car rental site, but we were given a very compact Hyundai i20. In the rental site options, I couldn't even select an i20; the smallest option was a Hyundai i30, neither of which fit the definition of a mid-size car. 2. Our original rental was for three days, but when shortened to two days, the daily rate increased. The total for three days was AU$196.49, averaging less than AU$66 per day. However, at the counter, changing to a two-day rental was no problem, but the price was quoted as AU$78 per day. When asked why, they simply said the original quote didn't apply. 3. None of the insurance options selected on the rental site were recognized by Budget. We had to purchase all new insurance options at the counter. When asked why, the response was that the insurance provided on the website wasn't their responsibility; they only honor insurance packages offered at the counter.

Customer service was very enthusiastic and good. However, they were quite pushy with insurance. I ended up buying an extra 100 AUD insurance at the counter.

Satisfied, fast service

The service was fast and convenient, and the condition of the car was surprisingly good. Picking up and returning the car both took less than 10 minutes. There was a support phone line, which I called twice, and they answered all my questions with great attitude. Overall, it was a very good experience.

The rental process was very convenient. Just give them the order, driver's license, and translation, and it's handled quickly. When picking up the car, they directly tell you the location, and you can go there yourself—it's completely self-service. Returning the car is just handing over the keys, and no one checks the car. Very convenient.
