I was charged more than double the cost that was quoted to me when I made the reservation. The only service I added was tolls, which is $20/day, and I had the car less than 24 hours. Now I need to take the time to call Budget and challenge the charges.

It was a good experience until I arrived at the drop off location and a clear scam by Budget was in the works. I arrived at 3255 W FULLERTON AVE, CHICAGO 60647 to return the car around 12:00-12:30 on the 19th July 2023. I was met by an extremely rude person who miraculously spotted in a nanosecond a tiny barely visible crack which can only be spotted under extreme scrutiny. He proceeded to write a damage report and started harrying me to sign some papers without offering any proper explanations with the added difficulty of him using nonsensical English. He was being extremely difficult to deal with and was brushing off any attempts by me at conversing with him when I showed him my disbelief at the claim he was forcing on me. The car was not damaged while under my possession and I have 6 people including myself who are witnesses and can attest to that. I immediately sensed a scam in the works when the person receiving the car was telling me I'm not the person who gave you the car at the pickup location, and asked whether I signed any papers detailing any damages to the car at the pickup location which I was not asked to do in the first place. I was instructed to pick up the car from the parking lot at location V20 at the rental parking lot in O'hare airport, present my license and rental agreement to the gate personnel who let me pass without any additional papers signed or presented to me. The keys were in the car and when I asked the Budget people in the parking garage whether I needed to verify any issues with anyone they told me to proceed to the gate and there was no need to see anyone. The behavior and narrative that the guy at the drop-off location was demonstrating proves that this is a well rehearsed scam whereby the rental company will try to levy any previous damages in the car and blame it and claim it from unsuspecting renters like myself who returned the car in the same exact condition that I received it in. I refuse to be bullied and will make this case public through all access I have on social media through my family, friends and businesses. I will ensure that this behavior by Budget (and all other companies that operate under the same umbrella) will receive as much negative publicity as it should, as I will do my duty to warn other unsuspecting would-be-renters of the devious ways among many that this company exercises in scamming people. I'm utterly disgusted by the behavior of their employee which only reflects the values or lack thereof which this company supposedly espouses.

Good service at desk. In garage, the only employee present was not enough to service the many customers, he did his best polite and efficient but there ahould have been at least another person. At exit it was fast and easy. I am not complaining bout the person in garage, he was trying his best.

I was charged for an upgrade without being asked if I wanted an upgrade. I was charged for a full tank of petrol when I said I didn’t want that option(this was later refunded). The check-in agent was 100% on the hustle - unexpected from a ‘reputable’ company and after a long flight.
The car was fine. The agent at the counter sold me a $25 fee to cover all tolls . I told her I was going to South Bend, IN today (Thursday) and returning Sunday. She said I was covered both ways. When I got to the Skyway, it didn't work. I was still in Illinois. The gate only opened when I used my credit card. The next toll booth, same thing happened. I also paid on the Indiana Toll Road at the South Bend exit. Refund my $25.

Very poor experience because doesn’t offer per hour rent.
Our plans changed and we needed to change our reservation to drop off the car at a different airport than planned. We could not get ahold of thrifty, and once we did, they wouldn’t let us change our drop off location. So we drove the car 6 hours out of our way and changed our flights to return the car to the same airport that we picked it up. I would not rent from thrifty! Find another company who will pick up the phone AND be reasonable.

The employees at the pick up desk were awful. Of all of the car rental companies at the airport theirs was the only one with a queue of any size. They were unapologetic and rude. I had the rental booked for 3pm and I was in line at 2:50pm. After waiting in line for over an hour I was told they didn’t have a car and I would have to wait. We I asked if there would be in compensation or even a voucher for food I was told that ‘I can wait for a car or not, we already have your money.’ We didn’t get to a car until 4:45.
I wasn't able to rent from them, I had made a mistake in the past with one of its sister companies, and instead of (me) correcting the problem I have been banned from ever using them.

They could have more counters open and have a prebook time in advance at least 30 min… been waiting for an hour and a half to get the car and after I just gave up waiting and took a taxi. So if you can’t provide your clients with the car at the moment then give people instructions how long it’s going to take.

Great car. Too May extra extra charges just for extending the rental for a few days.
They didn't have the car type I had ordered, but the staff at pick up was very friendly and offered me my pick of any other car type they had to make up for it. The return was impersonal - just told to leave the keys in a box - but quick and easy.
