8.0 Very Good
When renting through kayak, despite putting ohare, the reservation was made at midway.
C
2.0 Poor
They didn’t reserve my car. They said they couldn’t fulfill my reservation because I wasn’t returning the car to their location. The staffer was rude, unapologetic, and offered no other solution.

Nothing- it was excellent

2.0 Poor
I ordered and reserved an AWD vehicle and they did not have any when I picked up the car in a snow storm.

2.0 Poor
I feel ripped off. The daily price of the rental didn’t reflect the actual price, especially when you factor in insurance. I don’t recall insurance being an option to purchase in advance and had I known how much it would cost, I would’ve budgeted for the trip differently. After this experience, I will advise people against Kayak and Budget when renting vehicles.

4.0 Mediocre
Forced to upgrade when we arrived 30 minutes early because apparently original car wasn’t ready yet. Had dents on all sides. Bought extra insurance from kayak/priceline from email soliciting it. Budget didn’t accept that and forced us to put a $3000 deposit or buy their insurance after we already bought insurance through the booking company. Very rude staff. Car was 4 time than quoted rate. Charged us $130 for 1/4 tank of gas. Terrible experience.
A
2.0 Poor
I never got to rent because when I unered to pick up the car I was told I needed an extra 250. For a deposit. The app guided me thru and no deposit was ever spoken of. Also... I paid 36 for insurance and it was never refunded even though I never rented. Scam scam!!!!
A
2.0 Poor
This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had with renting a car. I had to wait over an hour for the budget employee to find a car for me that I had already reserved. By the time I finally got a car it was not the model I asked for and the car was disgusting and very dirty. Hair all over the seats and it smelled bad. I will never use Budget at the St Louis airport again.

4.0 Mediocre
I booked a full size SUV which has always been a7 seater. Now apparently it is a6 seater. I had to upgrade and pay an additional 120 in order to fit my family. I was not impressed.
