Budget

[fiona]

We hired via US Car Hire from Budget a mid size 4x4 SUV for 3 weeks over Christmas / New Year from Atlanta. If I may say so, the car pick up was the only smooth part of the 3 hours it took us to get through immigration, customs and yet another check where your luggage is taken off you etc.

We had a choice of 4 cars, had a RAV4 which is slightly smaller than my CRV that our daughters are used to driving. Great car, took all the luggage, and absolutely no problems whatsoever. My eldest hired a small car for her 2 week stay (overlapped with us by a week) and we were also on the hire so we could use whichever car necessary (DH disappears to play golf!), and great little car, everyone polite, no probs etc. We also used Budget in Miami year before and had a Luxury then, again no problems whatsoever apart from the very rude coach driver who was demanding tips from everyone, amazingly enough after he had not helped anyone on or off the coach with their luggage, and talked all the time to a friend who was on the coach with him no-one was very forthcoming!

Just booked my mini van from car hire, i filled out the required info that car hire needed but was unsure if there was suppose to be a place to fill in for our additional driver?

This is our first time thru car hire and was simple, easy and price was over half of what alamo was going to charge if i reserved directly thru them.

With the pre registration booking that allows you to go to the booth, are you able to do this for the 2 drivers or can it only be the main driver, how do you go about adding the 2nd driver or have you got to queue for this option. Are you able to add the 2nd person at a local Budget office.

Do you have an e-mail address ...we had some info given to us yesterday when we picked up our car which I'd like to ask about but not on the forum in case the guy was talking out his bum..

He did tell us that we could not use the Ins cover given by you because we had US Licenses but the rental is sold as fully paid for and usable by us so can you clear this up..

We are also not sure yet if he tried to pull a fast one on petrol we have gold cover which we told him had a full tank as part of the deal...but looking on my copy here there is a change of $96 ..and petrol is on there along with what looks like other fees

now I've used you before with no trouble..so I wondered if anything had changed in the last few months...

I take it the request for an email address was directed at USCarHire - you can always write to:- info@uscarhire.co.uk

We rented 7 seater minivan with Budget through us carhire. Arrived on 6 Feb, went to fast track and got a fantastic Dodge Grand Caravan with 5000 miles on it.
Returned the car yesterday and balance was 0,00. Service is fine, car great and no problems at all. Would book with them again.
Unfortunately, or not, all flights out via NY were cancelled so we have 3 extra days in Orlando. Went back to cr rental and went for the shortest line: National. Again, great car, Chevrolet Town & Country.
US Carhire will get our next booking too!

We used Budget a couple of years ago and about three months after the hire our credit card was debited by Budget for a parking fine (or something similar). The 'incident' occurred in Fort Lauderdale (or somewhere close by). At the time we were over 200 miles away, staying at our villa and had a supermarket check out bill for about 20 minutes after the 'incident'.

It went back and forth for about three months until we threw the towel in, deciding that life is too short to keep chasing it
