Overall it was a pretty good experience: the car was quite new and smooth to drive. But the information wasn’t very clear. When I booked, it showed Tesla, but when I arrived at SFO they told me there was no Tesla available, only other models, and they even had to double-check if they had any EVs at all. That’s when I realized there was a tiny line in the booking that said Tesla or similar. If you don’t look closely, you’d totally miss that, so I was a bit disappointed. That said, apart from not getting the exact car I was expecting, I was quite happy with everything else and the service overall.

Satisfied

The staff at the airport counter was very friendly and patiently answered questions.

The wait for pick-up was far too long, especially after a long flight. At first there was only one person at the desk for a long line of people. The key to the car was manual (i.e., without a clicker to lock it), which was somewhat inconvenient. At the drop-off at SFO, my wife fell, and the Budget attendants where extremely caring and helpful, and insisted that they drive us to the terminal.
