He said she said
Pros: Upgrade
Cons: Charges for extra minutes because I picked up the car early (even though I said I could wait). The attendant gave me a great upgrade and said it would be no problem returning the car to the airport as scheduled. He did not say that my total bill would go from approximately $50 to over $100. If I had know that I would have picked up the car on the 28th instead of the 27th. It would have been cheaper to get a car service. Oh and because it was a real gas eater, it cost me and e tra $15 for gas. Ugh

Pros: the car was fine
Cons: budget ripped us off on the gas!!! it was supposed to be full when we got it: it was not, only about 93%. we were in a hurry and thought it was "close enough" and they would not penalize us for a couple of drops. when we dropped off the car, I filled up exactly 16 miles from dropoff point. car was over 97% full. they charged us a $30 penalty. I didn't notice in the rush at the airport until I got my credit card bill. I feel like I was RIPPED OFF since I left more gas in than budget did for me. I suspect that they did the same to the previous person and then never filled up for us. first time in over 40 yrs of renting that this has happened. budget is not in our future!!!

Great price and customer service at pick-up.
Pros: Terrific price - especially given that we returned the vehicle to a different site (the Fort Meyers airtport). The Budget rep in Port Charlotte was super-freindly and helpful.

A courtesy call some half hour before closing woul
Pros: Next day, all was OK...
Cons: Reserved a car for one day with afternoon pick up so I could start my journey before dawn the next morning, the day of the return. But, with the change from Winter to Summer time, I arrived to a locked up office just a few minutes after 6. Sure would have appreciated a reminder call which never came...
