The expérience was singular. The car was not ready and not cleaned. They offered another car for additional cash "cash only". When I refused, they said to take it "as is" or cancel my reservation. a little rude because I did not want to add extra cash.

When I got there, they took it up charge me for fuel that was for an electric car at about $50. I refused and then they told me I could upgrade to a standard vehicle for $10 more. I declined and I went online and canceled my reservation on the phone before hand Reserving a vehicle to rent from Columbus airport to Cleveland airport. It was totaled $49 and then I got the bill and it was $447 and I filled out the gas right before I dropped it off and then on my bill it shows that the tank was not full and they charged me $9.99.a gallon Now I must also mention that they gave me a dirty car inside and out and it smelled like marijuana, but I didn’t have time to deal with that. I must also say that they charge me a $300 one-way fee that was not disclosed at the time of purchase and I went over all the aspects of the contract that the size of the vehicle, the price insurance and everything with the agent at the gate before I picked up the car so they basically switched everything in the contract and said that that’s what I reserved and then I do a chargeback and I’m Losing

We made the booking referenced above using my Mastercard, which was successfully processed, leading us to believe that we would be able to rent the car without issue. However, upon arrival, we were informed that the Mastercard used was a debit card rather than a credit card, and as a result, the vehicle was not provided to us. Unfortunately, this meant we were unable to proceed with our much-anticipated road trip. When we raised this issue, the representative assisting us assured us that we would be eligible for a refund. Given these circumstances, I kindly request a reimbursement for the cost of the booking. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response. Best regards, Simon

I don't like how Budget tries to sell or add "basic" or "premium" insurance to plans even after customers try to pick up cars. The reality is that many people's personal car insurance covers them and will likely be involved even if someone purchases your supplemental plans. Budget is misleading customers who don't know that they can decline more easily than they can and still be adequately covered.
