    When I arrived at the store, the staff was on the phone. After waiting for five minutes, the staff hung up and processed my rental. They asked me to wait for 5-10 minutes to get the car. However, I waited for 15 minutes and still didn't get the car.

    Very good

    The representative followed the rules strictly and did not try to upsell anything. I had prepaid for a full tank of gas through QEEQ (so I didn't need to return the car with a full tank). The agent was unaware of this and insisted on a full tank return, and seemed annoyed when I asked further questions. After confirming with QEEQ that everything was fine, the representative went to the back office and made me wait for a while. Eventually, another person came out to handle the transaction.

    It seemed to take a long time to move people through the short line, each transaction taking a while. The agent was able to resolve a discrepancy between my reservation/confirmation and what was reflected in the Budget system (full sized vs standard sized vehicle) but it caused a delay.
