A
8.0 Very Good
Easy, comfortable and good customer service.
B
4.0 Mediocre
The staff was slow, took 30 minutes for two people to support three customers, the rental car a Tesla 3 was beat up and in very poor condition. The steering wheel was peeling, inside and outside dirty, and banged up.
A
2.0 Poor
Absolutely awful. I bought Kayaks insurance and the lady at the desk forced me to buy theirs after charging me twice.
A
10.0 Wonderful
We were thrilled to find a car available to drive from Detroit to Chicago late Sunday evening when our flight was cancelled. The employee at the rental counter was friendly and professional despite it being the middle of the night and us being frazzled. The price was reasonable (especially for a one-way trip) and the car was spacious and clean!
A
2.0 Poor
Shitty! Couldn’t rent the car and got stranded as a result!
A
2.0 Poor
This ripple experience was disasters to say the least I missed the whole reason that I rented the car for so I basically drove in the car for 3 days for no reason.
A
2.0 Poor
Budget did not honor its contractual obligation and I could not rent the car one way (i.e. different return location) although it was booked in that way.
