Car was okCons:Car was FILTHY inside and had many little scratches outsideReviewed Oct 24 2018

Beware hidden fees!Pros:I could drop off the car in the city, rather than back at the airport.Cons:There were a ton of extra fees, even though I was insured by my credit card, that ended up making the total cost FOUR TIMES what was advertised! This included an extra national insurance fee ($300 for 4 weeks) that was apparently mandatory. Also, as an Israeli citizen, I had to pay an additional $90 fee/tax because of that. I cut my rental by 2 weeks because I couldn't afford all the extra costs. Also, Budget only reported 1 scratch when there was a dent and about 10 scratches around the car. There was no one at pickup to confirm, so I had to take photos to prove during drop-off that I didn't cause the dent or other scratches. This ended up being fine, but it was annoying that I even had to take photos myself and that Budget didn't do this in advance. The car was ridiculously weak on the uphills (with 4 passengers), but I guess that's to be expected with the most compact. Also, at one point the A/C gave out (i.e., no cold air) for an hour during a drive. It kicked in again after stopping for a while.Reviewed Jun 25 2018

The car was a wreck!Pros:The car ran as expected. It got us where we needed to go and the air-conditioner worked.Cons:From the moment we picked up this car at Shlomo SixT's branch at the Sde Dov airfield, we knew that this Nissan Almeira looked terrible. There were little chip marks and loose body parts all around the car. And there we a big cross on top, left by some long ago tape. But we were in a hurry, so we took the car. Then, we started noticing some other peculiarities and weaknesses. The radio knobs were missing, so we couldn't manage to use the radio. There was only one key slot, on the driver's door, none on the passenger side. And, to compound that problem there was no automatic door opening mechanism. So, the driver had to get into the car, reach over and manually unlock the passenger door, and the others, terribly inconvenient. We were not given any remote door opener. There was only one "low" gear. One drove either in "Drive" or in "Low." Usually, of course, there is a choice of at least two or three gears lower than Drive. This car really should not be rented in this condition. Or only by a company called "Rent-a-Wreck."Reviewed Jun 5 2018

Pros:Car was cleaned, functioned well. Check in and drop off were fine.Cons:One SIGNIFICANT thing - I was quoted one price, then charged significantly more due to a "required" insurance that was not provided by my credit card. I would have been fine with this if so quoted up front, but it was not. Sneaky business - bait and switch.Reviewed Apr 29 2018

The add on fees will kill youPros:The Car model was nice, but it was in bad shape. Had dents, stains, scratches, old decal imprints, etc.Cons:Reserved the car for one month and was given a very good price. When checking in line was long and it took about 45 minutes to get the car. Because the flight was late the car reserved was no longer available (I don't believe that), but they had an upgrade for $60 more (they gotcha). Even though I had credit card coverage for collision they get you for Liability (I don't mind reasonable, but $14/day for 30 days is $420 tacked on (My yearly insurance at home is just a little more). If you take any toll roads, bridges or tunnels even once, they tack on a $15 handling fee to whatever the road fees are.Reviewed Mar 8 2018
