Terrible experience, full of sales traps and mysterious fees. Absolutely shameless. Everything is abbreviated, no one can understand the additional charges. Strongly oppose this company.

When we arrived at the store, there were no cars available in the group we had booked. Without asking, they upgraded us to a different model that was in a higher category, and the price doubled. After negotiating, they finally compromised, and we had to choose a model that cost twice as much. They said it was the cheapest model they had available, and there were no other options. Our original estimated cost was $300, but it ended up being over $540. If we hadn't negotiated, the quote they initially gave us was $750, which was really frustrating.

Car showed low tyre pressure warning at pickup. Only one agent at pickup and she had to spend a long time dealing with one difficult customer, so the process took longer than it should.

All worked fine

The front desk staff At the Phoenix locationwas trying to not authorize the rental rate because they stated I held a US passport I told individuals that I live in Germany and I have a visa that is sanctioned under the status of forces agreement (SOFA) agreement and I’m a resident in Germany through the status of force agreement for a BUDGET claims to be pro military and that has a relationship with USAA they seem not to know that military personnel/ Government personnel are living in working overseas are residents of overseas locations in foreign countries! My suggestion if personnel for budget are going to be working at an international airport as large as the Phoenix airport that the school their staff on the situations! Shame on you but shit I wish USAA would reconsidered their partnership with you!
