C
2.0 Poor
It was a very confusing situation. Very disorganized - you people rent cars that you don’t have available. You have no problem taking peoples money though.

4.0 Mediocre
I purchased the additional insurance through your web site only to find out it wasn't very good in the USVI. I had to purchase an addition policy through Budget before they would give me the car. Overall kind of disappointing with your insurance option.

My experience with Budget was positive. The service was friendly, and picking up and returning the car went smoothly.

2.0 Poor
It was a terrible experience! The agent upgraded my reservation to the next level up, but the vehicle was already taken when I went to pick i at up! I went back to the desk and got another vehicle which was terrible! It was a death trap! The blinkers and blind spots did not work when I got on the road. They would glitch and not stay on. There was vibration across the SUV when doing 65 mph. The vehicle was a silver Jeep Cherokee. To top it all off, I had cash with me of over $200 which I forgot in the vehicle that was never refunded and supposedly never found. This is the worst experience I have ever hard, and a costly one!
