Had a great time booking and renting with Budget. But please bear in mind that safety comes first.

It was a great car. Steady and comfortable. There were lots of scratches here and there. Also the car wasn't totally cleaned when picked up, which I'm ok as there was a notice informing of water shortage in Santa Fe. The only downsides, which are actually quite grave are... 1. The front tires are totally worn out. I always have to continually remind myself of the safety risk it poses to my wife and daughter as passengers. I wouldn't drive a car with such tires back in Malaysia. 2. Not only the front tires were worn out, all the tires weren't properly inflated. Half way on the way to bandelier at some obscure roads, the tire warning lighted up. I had a hard time looking for gas stations that provide air pump as most were out of order. Budget should place safety as the highest priority. We are talking about human lives here.

The staff had a great attitude. Since the reservation was made in advance, there were no additional upsells, and the paperwork was completed quickly.

About Budget: 8.0 /10

It was my first time renting a car in the US. At pickup, they asked if I needed to purchase various insurances, but I didn't. Wanted a small Ford, and with the staff's help, successfully changed the car. Midway, had a flat tire, and my phone had no signal. Communication was difficult when I got back to a big city, so I decided to go to a rental point for face-to-face help. The staff helped me switch to a new red Dodge. As for the tire, they said someone might contact me about compensation, but friends said it should be fine. When returning the car, there is no shuttle bus from 01:00-04:00. As I had an early flight, I returned the car around 5:00. There aren't many 24-hour gas stations near Portland, so I recommend checking Google Maps and calling ahead to avoid last-minute rush. Returning the car was very smooth; they just took a look and printed out my receipt. Overall, it was a good experience.
