Not very satisfied with Budget for deducting money from my credit card for various reasons, even 3 months after we returned the car.

The compact car I booked was unavailable, so I was upgraded to a seven-seater SUV for free. I felt really lucky as I had a lot of luggage and many people. It was a very good rental experience. However, the GPS map package provided by QEEQ was outdated and unusable. Fortunately, the SUV had a pre-installed Garmin navigation system, otherwise, QEEQ would have really let me down! The intention to provide free navigation to users is good, but to ensure a good experience, a lot of preparation is needed.

Having taken the extended insurance i was not really expecting to need it but whilst driving fom PE to East London we were most unfortunate to have the driver side window shattered by a ston. The customer service staff were extremely helpful and a replacement car was waiting at EL Airport by the time I arrived.

It was easy to use

Like: I received what was advertised
Dislike: The added extra insurance wasn't fully explained by counter staff so I refused it. Luckily I didn't need it.

Like: Budget staff were excellent, even when picking up the car around 5 in the morning, and were friendly and efficient. I had to extend the rental for an extra 2 days and was done in minutes at a branch in another province.
Dislike: 1. I was billed prior to receiving an invoice. 2. Billed for 2.5 litres of petrol even when filling up at the Airport.
