8.0
Pros: The staff was good. Drop off was easy.
Cons: Finding drop off location is not easy if you're not from the local area. Also not sure an 'upgrade' from a compact to a pick up truck is actually an upgrade

Pros: Nice car. Polite, professional agent at pick-up.
Cons: Lack of clarity about returning car after hours and when "after hours" started. Agent stayed on lengthy phone call rather than offering to accept keys and let me go.

7.2
Cons: Everything was fine but for the fact that the car smelled like smoke with a deodorizer trying to cover it up. The car was not clean. I tried to call Budget to notify them so I would not be billed for the problem as it pre-existed my rental, but I had to go through multiple call directories and it eventually dropped me.

Cons: They did not have the intermediate car I paid for. They did not reduce my rate for a smaller car. The car had not been cleaned and had mud in it. Worst car rental I have ever had. Not Kayak's responsibility. Just Budget's poor performance.

Budget Rental UVA Move In
Pros: Toyota Siena was very roomy, easy to adjust, and loved the backup screen feature in super crowded college move-in environment
Cons: Not really Budget's fault, but the drop off at Charlottesville Airport is geared for folks flying in and out of area, so had no place to park car, and returning keys to Airport terminal was not clearly marked

Good In-Transit, Poor in Pick-Up
Pros: Car was clean Great Gas Mileage Plenty of Space for a small car USB Charger
Cons: Reservation started at 8 am. Got there at 8:04 am. They didn't have the care ready till 8:30 am - which caused me to be 20+ minute late to the event I got the car for.
