Car type reservation was not available, thus the company was forced to honor with an upgrade. Personnel at counter was not quite amiable probably caused by a reservation not done directly thru the company website, they can not find the reservation nor understood where was the reservation at the printed papers showing it, after a while, they finally noticed it.

Collection process is too slow, staff have to input far too much information into their computer systems. It’s more about who we were rather than the car. As we have already done so much of it online it felt like too much duplication

La camioneta fue muy buena!! Lo único que no me gusto de Budget en específico fue que no proveían servicio para regresar la camioneta en la terminal, por una tarifa adicional, a fin de no perder tiempo en traslados. En el caso de Dollar si me lo ofreció en una ocasión previa.

The car was nice, waiting line at pick was over 2 hours, employee at the desk tried to sell us extra insurance which we already bought from a third party. When we returned the car, we were charged 100 Dollars extra than what we signed up for. I know about 30 Dollars go for the refilling the gas tank but there is still extra 70 Dollars which are not stated any where what are they for. I am not sure that this lack of transparency on the Budget side, would encourage us to be clients in future.

The car itself was good, and the rental process was very easy and straightforward. There were only small dents and scratches on the bodywork, but nothing major that affected its performance. However, the USB port for connecting to Apple CarPlay didn't work properly, which was quite inconvenient. Everything went well with the car, but when I returned it, I was charged an extra 50$ for fuel, even though the tank was full. I've tried to get a refund, but so far, no luck. This is very annoying and has been the most frustrating part of the experience. Overall, the car and the rental process were fine, but the extra charge and the difficulty in resolving it leave a bad impression.

The wait time for picking up the car was too long. QEEQ doesn't allow advance registration for Fast Break. Budget's prices are relatively affordable, so the wait time tends to be longer. It's recommended to align the car rental time with the flight arrival time, as the wait is typically about half an hour.

The staff had great attitudes, and the car pickup was convenient. The only downside was the forced insurance purchase. When picking up the car, I specifically went back to ask two staff members about it, and they assured me it was fine. So, I decided to proceed with the car rental. However, after returning home, I discovered I was still charged (even though I had purchased QEEQ’s full coverage insurance, which made it unnecessary). After communicating with QEEQ, the store was very cooperative and refunded the charge. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.
