seemed very expensive. My "upgrade" to a better car should have been complementary, or at least would have been at national or avis. I also was talked into using the full tank of gas, and hopefully I don't get charges for that.

The car was beautiful and we enjoyed it. I had never driven a hybrid before so it would have been nice if someone expected that most people haven’t. I felt pretty dumb having to come to the booth and ask someone how it worked. I also found out at the last minute that this agency did not want me to take the car outside of a specific area geographically. Perhaps that was in the information, but I certainly didn’t see it until we went to check out the car. Potentially a big problem and to find out on the day we picked it up was unhelpful.

Car was ok, Malibu instead of a Corolla. Pick up was not good. Entire process was too long, then it took forever to get out of the rental car garage at Sea-Tac airport. From arriving at the rental car terminal until leaving with the car was an hour and a half process. Unacceptable. I reserved the car, Alamo had all the information it needed prior to my arrival. My time is valuable.

When I turned my vehicle back in on the date/time scheduled, it was not registered correctly and I received a text three days later saying my rental car had not been turned in. It is now four days after my rental drop-off and I have yet to receive a receipt from Budget/Avis. The online receipt request form does not recognize my confirmation number. So frustrating.

Rates were too high for a one day rental- the return was a pain and the Avis app did not help. I had to call and basically had to figure out on my own where the return location was located. Then was asked- did you take a picture of mileage and fuel tank level.

I wait 30 minutes in line to get to the Avis counter to pick up my rental; that I had booked online and performed my pre-pickup registration to allegedly make the process easier. Then it is 10 minutes at the counter. My card is in the machine and the worker is down the way calling the garage for my car. Then she returns (after another 5 minutes) with the manager to tell me there are no cars for my destsination, and that allegedly, there haven't been any for 24 hours. And that the online system should not have allowed me to make a reservation. Maybe true, maybe not. Because while I was waiting on the salesperson to call the garage the salesperson to my left is selling a rental (one-way to the same location that I'm headed) but at 1.5x the price that I booked online. So, you tell me. I don't know if they guys next to me got a car or not because I was rushing to the next car rental locations but since it was 1 AM, they were all shutdown. Avis wasted my time, screwed up my plans, and made it almost impossible to find an alternate plan, resulting in me having to get a hotel room.

Arrived at the rental car depot for SEATAC and joined nearly 200 people in line for Budget. The estimated wait to see an agent and pick up my reserved car (although I very much doubted there were enough cars for everyone in line) was over 2 hours. I had to cancel the rental agreement and accept higher prices from Alamo on the spot in order to maintain my itinerary. Terrible experience, and not the first bad one with Budget. Won't be selecting them again.

The man that I picked up the car from made multiple mistakes and then took a break in the middle of me paying the final payment for the car. He was nice enough initially, but then he literally left for at least twenty minutes without any real notice and I then saw him just chilling as he took his "break." When he finally returned and gave me the keys, he didn't tell me where to go and gave me no instructions as to what to do. The people at the actual car pick-up in the garage were really nice, but just as confused as me because this man had repeatedly messed up and sent me the wrong information in my digital ticket. Overall, because of this man's errors and the break he took, I didn't leave Budget rentals until at least 90 minutes when I first arrived there.

Understaffed counter at rental center resulting in long lines. I waited in line for 52 minutes thus missing other commitments. I ended up renting from another agency as I could no longer wait without substantially impacting travel plans.

Picking up was a long and tenuous process. Huge lineup and only 3 agents working, easily the slowest of all rental companies in the building. The agent was clearly frustrated and tired and was not friendly at all. When we arrived at the car the exterior was dirty and there there was a rock chip in the window that was not noted, trying to find someone to report it to was not easy either. When we dropped the vehicle off at the LAX the few people we tried to ask questions of were rude and lacked answers. Finally found our own way. I chose Budget not for the price but because I had had good experience in the past, next time I will go with someone else.

Specifically paid to rent a full size suv and the counter lady would only give me an electric smart car. As we walked past numerous SUVs parked next to the smart car we had to plead with the attendant in the garage who stated they had plenty of SUVs to get us what we had already reserved

The vehicle we ended up with was nice for the long drive, but waiting for 3 hrs only to be immediately handed a vehicle upon my 3rd check-in was just not OK. There was nobody else left in the entire lobby.. we were driving to Denver because our flight was canceled for a week. Actually terrible experience.

Loved the speed of the rental process. Speed at the reservation desk was quite good - maybe 3-4 minutes. Got off the elevator, spoke to a rep and were driving out in less than 5 after that. Fastest rental experience I've had. Even got to pick our vehicle, and picked the newest one with all the features...which my kids LOVED!
