Rentalcar-Talk.com - The Community for Rental Cars

The last rental from Budget resulted in a Toyota Corolla. I was disappointed due to the fact that the car was rather old and in bad condition. It’s already got almost 50 kmiles. The car was full of scratches which is something I really don`t like when I rent a car. For me it expresses the overall condition of such a rental car.The only positive was that the Toyota was equpied with brand new tires. As an example for the bad condition I`d like to provide you with the following pic:

Such cars are very frustrating for any renter. But these issues are typical for Budget.

That`s the reason why I avoid to rent from Budget @Goldy
Thx for your picture and experience report!

From Budget I always got cars which were poorly maintained. I avoid to rent from Budget. My last rental was from Sixt. They gave me an almost new car.

Thank you for this infomation,guys. That`s the reason why I visit this forum from time to time: in order to read about your experiences with rental companies.

I also experienced with Avis on a Jeep Wrangler and a Jeep Compass. Both were high mileage vehicles but were way overdue on oil changes and had bald tires

I`ve made already comparable experience with Budget.

The car I`ve got recently from Budget was heavily damaged. Honestly speaking I was not very pleased having had to drive a rental car full of scratches.
