Long wait at counter but eventually had a very nice car

Rented a car in Spain for a road trip around Europe. When we got to France the car started having issues and couldn’t pick up speed, but at the airport in France they swapped and upgraded our car on the spot. Big international rental chains like this have branches in most European countries, which is honestly super convenient.

Budget is pretty good. They asked once about insurance, and we said we don't need it, so there was no upselling. The car had some scratches and dents, which were pointed out during pickup. During return, the staff inspected the car condition and checked the fuel receipt. Everything was fine.

The car we got in Budget was very good. However, service at pick up was poor. We had to wait a long time to get the car as it was not available.

I used Qeeq for the first time. It has been a very good experience so far. Would recommend it!

all my booking was done with a confirmation email there was no paperwork and yet when I came to drop the keys in the box i was supposed to drop the keys with the paperwork. A bit confusing and disconcerting putting the keys in the box without anything.

I had an accident with the car about an hour after collecting it. I took it back to Budget and was given another car. I paid the 1384 euro damage. I now need a damage report and proof of payment from Budget so I can claim from the insurance I took through Easyrentcars. I send numerous emails to Budget. Not a single reply. Used all the email addresses on their documentation. The person at the Budget counter at the airport told my that they cannot supply me with these documents. Although my experience collecting/drop off and the vehicle was very good, my frustration with the company spoils the good experience I had
