Canada
Volkswagen Polo
6/22/24

Pros: Close to train station

Cons: Upselling insurance

United States of America (USA)
Nissan Qashqai
6/5/24

Cons: The Budget agent was rude, questioned my driving ability/experience with a manual, and tried to get me to pay more for an automatic car. He also tried to sell me their insurance as well. When I pointed out I had coverage through Discover Cars he literally said, "Good luck getting them to pay if anything happens"

United States of America (USA)
Toyota Aygo
8/18/23

Cons: Mirror was broken. I was not offered another car.

Belgium
Renault Clio
7/26/23

Cons: Unfriendly staff that 'forced' us to take an extra insurance. Feels like we didn't need that insurance (because we allreafy booked one) but now we had to pay an extra 500 euro's!!!!! Man at the desk took no time to explain anything and walked away after a very short briefing, without saying goodbye or anything. We where very disapointed and still think we paid way too much.

Norway
Toyota Corolla
6/20/23

Pros: Thorough, but time-consuming.

United States of America (USA)
Toyota Corolla
5/12/23

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Being forced into extra insurance even though my Chase Saphire Card covered the trip.

Canada
Renault Clio
8/7/22

Pros: Easy Pickup of the car. Drop off representative was efficient.

Cons: Car was pretty basic for an incredibly expensive fee. It was the most I have ever paid for a rental car, which was of the lowest level of options and quality.

United States of America (USA)
Toyota Corolla
8/4/22

Cons: All good

Netherlands
