The counter staffs were very nice and advanced our car to a Camaro convertible after we reflected the slight defects of the original rented car. We were surprised and satisfied with Budget's services.

The car was ok for the short time we needed it, overall the car was a pile of junk compared to other cars I have rented, a $10 car with a $5 interior.

Waited in line for over 20 minutes. Even though I had full insurance, they still tried to sell me additional insurance. The staff drove the car up front for pickup, which was convenient. Returning the car was also simple. The car was in good condition with an initial mileage of 22,500 miles. There are many gas stations near Hilo Airport.

We arrived on the shuttle from the cruise terminal to the airport, so there was a bit of a wait when a whole busload showed up at once. But when it was finally my turn, the check-in was almost unbelievably smooth. I walked into the lot focused on finding the “Hyundai” I’d booked and couldn’t see it anywhere. Then I hit the button on the key, and boom—the Mustang convertible right next to me lit up to say hello!

One of the latches on the soft-top Wrangler was broken, so when it poured, water leaked in… There weren’t any other Wranglers to swap into, so I just had to put up with it. Then on the way down from the volcano the wind was so strong it literally lifted the top—such a mess… But once we’d already been up to the stargazing lookout, I didn’t really care anymore. They switched me into a very new Altima and the rest of the trip was smooth sailing—sedans are definitely more comfortable.
