Tampa Cruise Port office (actually a nearby hotel) a joke!!

Returned car around 3:30 am on 11/Jan, terminal C, MCO. No officer to receive the vehicle, dropped the key to the officer at the counter. Was charged today a total of 359 US$ although returned car on dull tank with no damage, yet the insurance has 0 excess deductible. Very hard to contact budget for the over charge incurred. Please advise.

Budget initially said we hadn’t paid for the vehicle and refused the booking without bank proof. We were on the other side of the world from home and had none. Eventually they contacted the booking agent who was at fault and agreed it was fully paid.

Not good as they had not informed Budget that we had fully paid at the time of booking in the UK! It was sorted out after a very stressful morning.

car was smaller than expected. toyota seat was smaller than rented ford focus.

San Francisco pick up was very lengthy. We waited over an hour to be served due to high demand, low number of staff and low number of vehicles available. When we were eventually served we were told our booking was not for that location despite my reservation stating it was. I specifically chose that location being within walking distance of our hotel. We were told the car was the other side of San Francisco so ended up getting a taxi there. When we eventually arrived we were dealt with very quickly though. There is obviously a problem with the on line booking system in addition to organisation at the local branch in San Francisco.

Very good experience with the car.

Very good..giving wide choices to choose from...easy procedures
