Good rental on budget easy return

Acceptable overall, no major issues, but there was an upsell for insurance

Large crowds and long queues. Despite having a reservation, we still had to queue again. Few service counters available, and several rental companies share the same counter.

The service attitude was very poor. I don’t know if it was because I am Chinese or Asian, but the staff spoke to me in a very sharp and raised voice. The rental hall was quiet, and everyone’s eyes were on me. Did I say something inappropriate? I just asked why I was told I would be charged for a full tank of gas when I was supposed to return it with a full tank. After answering impatiently, they didn’t stop and continued to complain loudly about why I needed so long to read the contract. Is it such a waste of time if I check the contract for five minutes? How else would I know if there are problems? Do you really need to attract everyone's attention?

Overall satisfied

The pre-booked car (which was larger) was not available. There was only one car at the store, and due to time constraints, we were forced to take the smaller car on our trip, but were charged the rate for the more expensive, originally booked car. The rental company was very unprofessional and used various tricks to deceive customers. During pick-up, there were two noticeable scratches that the staff overlooked, which I had to point out before they were recorded. During drop-off, they took advantage of our inexperience, repeatedly saying everything was fine and that the inspection was complete without giving us any receipt. Later, they claimed we returned the car late (by one day) and tried to charge extra since we had no receipt. We directly filed a complaint with Budget after returning home and provided train tickets and accommodation receipts from the same day we returned the car to prove our point. Eventually, we got the undue charges refunded.
