Budget - Reviews and experiences

My recent experience renting a car was really frustrating. I thought I had everything sorted out when I booked a car with insurance from a third-party website. But when I got to the pick-up spot, they said the car I reserved wasn't there. They then tried to convince me to get a bigger, pricier car. I didn't read the contract thoroughly and ended up agreeing to extra insurance and a higher fee. When I brought the car back, they didn't give me back the whole deposit because of those extra charges. It felt like a sneaky trick, and I had to pay more than I thought I would.

I had to go get my car after an 8-hour flight and the person at the desk was really pushy, trying to sell me more stuff even though I said I already had insurance! I got tricked into buying extra insurance I didn't need. And when I returned the car with a full tank, they still charged me for refueling! It was such a scam. I won't be going back there again.

I rented a car with my buddies for a road trip and we didn't smoke in it. But then I got a letter from the company saying they were gonna charge me extra for cleaning because of a smoke smell! It wasn't fair 'cause we didn't even smoke in there! They were trying to rip me off for $450! I was so upset, but thankfully customer service fixed it. Still not cool though.

I had a really bad time with a car rental company not too long ago. I told them I didn't want to pay for tolls and roadside help at the counter, but somehow those charges ended up on my bill. It was a pain to get them to admit they messed up, and by the time they did, it was too late. They were terrible at communicating and being honest, and now I feel all annoyed about it. Next time, I'm definitely going somewhere else for my rental needs.

I recently rented a car at an airport, and it wasn't a great experience. I waited in a long line at the main rental desk, then got sent to a desk on the 2nd floor where I had to wait again for help. I had the car for three weeks but hardly drove it, so the mileage was low. When I returned the car, they charged me an extra 123 euros because they said it wasn't clean inside. It was actually quite tidy, just a few flower petals and leaves. I took pictures to show that it was clean, so I think the charge was unfair, just a way for them to get more money from me. It's their job to clean the cars before renting them out again. This whole situation made me feel frustrated and like they took advantage of me. I'm going to talk to the right people to sort this out.

Oh man, renting from this company was a total nightmare! They said it was gonna be affordable, but then BAM - hidden charges and false accusations everywhere. We agreed on a price for the car rental, and suddenly there's an extra $1500 tacked onto my bill. And the craziness just kept on coming. When I returned the car, they're claiming I got a ticket in some random city I didn't even go to during the rental. Clearly, they're out here trying to scam folks by lying about prices and then hitting them with extra fees and made-up stuff. This whole shady operation needs to be shut down ASAP, and I'm not gonna rest until these scammers face the music for what they're doing.

I rented a car for the weekend with my family in Toronto. When we got to the car rental place, the person there tried to add extra stuff to our bill without asking. So rude! Then when I asked for a refund, they said no way. I felt so disrespected! I will never rent from here again!

I rented a car from a specific car rental spot at Orlando International (MCO) recently. The whole rental process was good until I brought back the car with a full tank of gas, just like the agreement said. But, surprise surprise, they still charged my credit card to top up the gas even though I returned it full. That's just not cool and seems shady. On top of that, they always try to tack on extras you don't need or didn't use, making it a headache to get your money refunded after they already have your credit card info. I'd suggest checking out other rental companies at MCO to avoid these unnecessary fees and annoyances.

I would be careful renting from this company, eh. They ask for a 300 euro deposit and then never give it back. They come up with fake excuses and don't answer when you ask about the deposit. You have to go back to the office weeks later and still nothing gets resolved. It was my first time using them, and I won't be making that mistake again, eh. VANREL is a way better choice, for sure.
