Intermediate SUV

Rep was cursing someone out on personal phone in front of us, he didn’t know if he had a car and then said he didn’t know what condition the car was in. Car was very dirty inside, gas was on empty so had to fill it up, returned it and they tried to charge me for half a tank of gas even tho I filled it up. Then said I should have taken a picture.

Easy pickup and dropoff. Vehicle drove nice. Vehicle was not cleaned prior to our pickup, so that was disappointing. There was broken glass behind the driver's seat; It looked like a window was probably broken and clean up was not at all thorough. Price was good and we were able to book last minute. Overall it was great. This is the second vehicle we have rented from Budget from Waterloo Airport that has not been cleaned prior to our renting.
