The check in was great but to find the car, it was very difficult as no one is showing you the way or which car you rented. For the vehicle in itself it was clean and was the car that I booked. However, it was missing few essentials for a car during winter: no window liquid was put in the car and we had difficulties to drive at some point as we had dirty snow. We had to stop and buy ourselves the product, and of course Budget did not care and is not ready to d anything about it. Second, there was no utensil to take of the frozen snow out of the windows, which is mandatory in a country where it is snowing a lot during winter. When we checked out, the guy that reviewed everything was super rude and did not care, asking us to contact directly the company.

Nothing regarding Budget specifically, but it was a little difficult to find the car at the train station. It could be a little better marked.

Budget doesn't have a great reputation, so make sure to inspect the car carefully. Even if you have full insurance, issues can still arise. We found several scratches that weren't documented when we picked up the car and had the staff note them. However, when returning the car, we discovered scratches on the lower front windshield that we hadn't noticed earlier. We had driven for less than two days and hadn't hit anything, so we're just glad we had full insurance.

It took a long time to locate the car at Prague train station, but returning the car at the airport was extremely fast! We booked a seven-seater but got a five-seater, which was disappointing. Luckily, we were only five people. If there were six, it would have been impossible to fit.

The pick-up point is at B1 in Prague Central Station. After entering the hall and asking the station staff, we quickly found it. There were some people picking up cars, so we waited outside in line. We were attended to by a serious-looking Czech man. Since our English is not very good, we were a bit nervous. When it was our turn, we handed over all the prepared documents. He only kept our passports, my domestic driver's license, and credit card. He returned the international driver's license translated by QEEQ. He asked if we would be driving only within the Czech Republic and had me fill out a personal information form. He confirmed that we had all necessary insurance and finished the paperwork. After the procedures, they gave me a booklet containing parking tickets for Budget parking lots, a Czech highway driving card, emergency contact numbers, our rental contract, and notes on the car's condition. The staff was very helpful and even drew a simple map to show me how to find the parking lot and the car keys. The whole process took about 10 minutes, very quick. At the parking lot, we found the staff, got the keys, picked up the car, and started our trip smoothly.
