Pros: The car was new and comfortable and clean.
Cons: Beware of Budget trying to steal your money! They bait & switched us and in the mountains of paperwork we signed had us sign for an amount we didn’t agree upon and our rental went from $130 to $788! We felt scammed.

Pros: The car was nice. It made the trip seamless.
Cons: Took over an hour to receive vehicle. I was under the impression that all I was paying at 141 for my 9 days. When I arrived they said I needed an insurance which added like 400 dollars. Totally unexpected. When I asked them they said I needed liability insurance.

Cons: They forced me to pay literally ten times the original rental cost for insurance that you supposedly have to have in Mexico. Do not rent from budget.

Pros: Drop off was fine check in not so much
Cons: We had a reservation and we paid the extra insurance on line but when we got there is was going to be double of what we were quoted on our reservation, had to cancel and rebook online which made no sense, all in all we spent over an hour there and as a result will not use Almo again. Doug

Don't trust their phone reservations with insurance
Pros: Car was ok, had 50k km on it but drove decent. Pickup and dropoff was fairly quick. Close to airport.
Cons: I was supposed to have insurance at about $120 total for two days rental and they told me at the desk they didn't show the insurance reservation. Total ended up being over $200. Also conned me into a tank of gas when I burned < 1/4 tank driving all the way over to Todos Santos and back. Asked what the tank size was and they said that I would burn a tank of gas going and coming. Know now not to believe what they say.

Cons: When I showed up they said that they did not have a car for me and they couldn't do anything to help me. Because they were a foreign licensee Budge Customer Service could not help me either. Very very disappointing. Will never book through Budget again.

Cons: They said there was a mininimum insurance requirement which we needed to add on that was an extra $45/day. So the car ended up being way more expensive than anticipated.

Bait and Switch
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Refused to pick up car after minimum insurance was not disclosed. For a rental that was supposed to cost $55 over 3 days, we learned upon arrival that the minimum insurance would cost approximately $250. I may not have had a problem paying for that had there been any suggestion or disclosure that these fees were required.

3rd party liability not included
Pros: Everything else
Cons: Third party liability was 50%, mandatory, and yet not included in Kayak price. It’s OK not to include collision insurance in the price, as that is customary, and you can waive it with insurance coverage using a decent credit car. Not 3rd party liability.
