Pros:

The drop off in white plains was great.

Cons:

The Fairfield location is terrible. There was only one person working there and she was extremely unpleasant. The store was very dirty. The car had not been cleaned....there were coffee drippings and debris in the car. The outside of the car was also filthy. The back right tire was at 7 pounds. We will avoid this location at all costs.

Luxury

KAYAK
I reserved a luxury vehicle, but none were available when I arrived. I understand that these things happen, but I was still charged the luxury rate even though I was given a standard car. Additionally, the clerk marked existing scratches on his copy of the damage slip but left my copy blank. Normally, both copies are filled out together to reflect the same information. It felt like he intentionally left mine blank so that when I returned the car at JFK, it would appear as if the vehicle had no prior damage—even though it clearly did. Will never use Budget again.
