The booking was not with Budget, but with a dodgy company called QEEQ who gave me the wrong collection address, and didn’t warn me of the opening hours at the true collection point. The result was that I wasn’t able to collect the car, and they still charged me. I am disputing the charge now through my bank. I will be very reluctant to use Kayak again, given the appalling companies with which you deal.Reviewed Nov 18 2024
