Ideal

Great service

The budget staff were very friendly and helpful. The car was clean and performed as expected.

The platform was easy to use, and a good interface between myself and the rental company.

Helpful staff, and nice upgrade as car booked wasn’t available

The car was in a very poor state, despite being told I was being switched to a 'newer car' there was a list of 7 elements of damage to the car on the original rental agreement. On inspection once I went to pick up the car, I found 3 other serious bits of damage to the car, 1 involving the lights that had not been noted. I have attached photos of these. On returning to the car rental desk (as there were no staff in the parking area), I had to wait for previous customers to finish their agreement before flagging up this damage and having my rental agreement amended by hand and signed. I have attached a photo of these amendments. I don't believe this car should have been rented and it had not been well cleaned in advance.

The car provided was totally unacceptable. Unfortunately numerous issues I noticed shortly after leaving the rental location. The car was dirty inside and out, significant damage to the exterior, and was not full of fuel (despite being marked otherwise on paper) - essentially the car was clearly not prepared for hire. After booking a medium hatchback I was provided with a 1.0 ltr Fabia estate which had some mechanical issues. Due to lack of "availability" at my local branch I had to drive 60 miles to get it replaced. Definitely won't be renting with Avis/Budget again anytime soon.
