It was okay but everything additional that we need represented an extra cost

The staff at budget were so unbelievably rude. It was an awful experience collecting the car from them. When we did collect the car, it was not what I had ordered as we received a 3 door Fiat 500e and I had clearly selected a 5 door car. The car had a flat tire that we had to get pumped up, which was extremely dangerous. I have images to prove that we had to take it straight to a mechanic to get air in the tire to be safe to drive. Overall very disappointed and I would never book through Budget again.

Pick up at Atocha station - Difficult to realize that the pick up is on the parking lot and not at proper Atocha Station - 3 ppl were at the counter but only one was attending customers (There is still a sign on the door that only one customer is allowed a time inside) - Information about refilling the car with petrol at time of return was first confusing. "The message was "our rate of Euro 1,20 is cheaper than at regular petrol stations". The detail that the charge would be the costs of a full tank instead of the actually used petrol was explained in detail when I asked the employee to repeat this information again - When I got to the car, I realized many scratches on the vehicle, especially on one side at the back. This was not adressed to me. I asked another employee who walked by if this is normal and that none had pointed this out? Hi responded "Didn't you sign the contract?" I should check there to see if this damages are noted down. I looked in my inbox but the electronic email had not arrived yet, therefor I went back to the counter to lign up behind another customer. When it was my turn, the employee looked for the the information and explained that there is a "code" of several numbers that protocol various damages on the car, so everything is ok but I should still take photos for documentation.... -- Return Barajas The service at the return at Barajas was professional, quick and the person received me with a big smile as well!
Nobody waitng for us at the airport. And no one answers the phone when we are calling.

Avis added about 25% additional fees to the contract at the time of pick up for insurance that I didn’t select at the time of booking. I had to explicitly alert the agent these fees are not legit and he took them off. Then again at drop off time when I was getting the final bill, I found the same additional fees added and has to go work this out with another agent to take them off. Not a good experience to feel I’m getting robbed twice. Also, although I filled up the car on my way to the airport, the inspection showed it is missing 2 liters and Avis wanted to charge me 26 euros for those. It was clear that the analog indicator in the dashboard is at the full sign so the inspecting agent cancelled the fees. But again, not the best experience this time

The airport where we picked up the car was tiny so it’s not a surprise we had to wait to be helped. The paperwork took a long time. I had reserved a car for about $70 for the day but was told I’d be charged about $160 if I didn’t bring it back with a full tank. There were no employees around when I returned it at 5:30pm so I don’t know what I was charged. As the rental was in Spain, it’s not easy for me to call and find out. Returning the car was very confusing and not well marked. Another group said the parking was full and suggested I leave the car at the side of the airport roundabout, which fortunately I did not do. The car itself was clean and had a full tank, just the rental process was very confusing. I’m decently fluent in Spanish so that wasn’t the issue.
