    We had an upgraded car, good. The damage assessment did not show all the scuffs and dents. Picking the car up from a multi story car park and a wet car prevented us seeing all the minor damage. We took photos as soon as we saw the multiple damage but found it impossible to upload them on the link sent to us. We have our fingers crossed that the return condition is acceptable and we have not had any notification of budget receiving the car back. (Key drop off out of hours)

    Satisfied with both pick-up and drop-off processes. Upon arriving at the return location, staff came over to inspect the car. Since there were no issues, they took the car keys, and the deposit was refunded the next day. The interior of the vehicle was clean, but the exterior was relatively dirty and hadn't been washed.
