Quick and good service. I paid in full on QEEQ and there were no hidden charges when returning the car. The only downside is that Budget staff do not work on weekends, so I couldn't extend my rental. They gave me a new Nissan, which has full functionality including CarPlay.
Overall service was satisfactory, but during pickup, the staff seemed to treat us differently. We had two families renting cars, and at first, they tried to push me to upgrade. When I refused, I ended up with a Series 1 car, which was very small and not the specified SUV model. However, my friend with the same reservation was upgraded to a Series 3 for free. The only apparent difference was that I was served by a South Asian staff member. Everything else was fine.
One of the black employees was extremely dishonest. I specifically booked a Honda Jazz, but he gave me a lower class vehicle instead. The trunk was very small and couldn't fit two suitcases. I asked to switch to a Jazz, and he pretended to check with his colleague via walkie-talkie, but then told me there were no Jazz cars available. Resigned, I decided to make do with the car. However, upon further inspection, I found many scratches all over it, which I couldn't accept. So, I returned to the counter and asked for a newer car. When another white employee helped me, he said they had Jazz cars available. It seemed the black employee was unhappy because I didn't take up many of his suggested add-ons, so he gave me a hard time. This behavior from the black employee severely tarnished the company's image!
Insurance package for 0 excess quite expensive and come with additional fee. My booking price is 123 GBP. Insurance is 37 GBP as Budget officer told me. At the end, final price is 173 GBP. Additional fee 13 GBP was added up such as License fee and Location surcharge. I think those fee should include in booking price.
Car was great. Could have been more efficient on petrol for compact / size of car.
