When we returned the car we were charged for a tire. The navigation system reverted back to Portuguese during our trip and we could not get it to reset. Staff were not helpful.

Since there is no papers anymore she pointed on the electronic screen to sign. During return the car they wanted me to pay for the upgrade (which I have never asked), taxes (which was covered by the voucher). Really dissatisfied to receive a service like this from Avis Budget. When I'm renting a multinational company like them I'm not expecting to be screwed. "

I specifically searched for hours!!!!! on your website until I found a station wagon car that he site specifically mentioned it included ALL damages WAIVER OF ANY KIND. Why do I have to arrive with a family and 2 children and then realize that in the VERY SMALL LETTERS THAT NOBODY EVER READS it says that no matter what, if anything happens to the car I will have to pay 2500 Euros ??????

" Easy to book, transparent conditions, good choice of rental companies. Generally I like you guys. "
" Budget refused me to check-in as they couldn't verify excess amount on my credit card. I have no idea what they did, but 1 year ago a had a very smooth rental with Budget using the same card at the same pick-up point. I suggested them to hold complete excess amount instead of just checking it but they didn't agree. In fact I wasted 1 hour at a counter and all the discussions ended with "you must buy total protection insurance to reduce excess to zero, otherwise you won't get a car". In my opinion it was either a robbery or very dirty business and I don't accept it. In order not to ruin my vacation I had to buy the insurance, so I payed 3 times more than initially expected. I completely unsatisfied and would prefer never use Budget on Madeira (despite the fact I had exactly the same rental with them in 2017, conditions were the same, my card was the same and everything was super).

" The bad experience with Budget and the fact that they did not have the correct information from Auto Europe raises the concen that when dealing with a third party for a car rental that my agreement with Auto Europe can not be effectively managed by the rental Agency. Budget seem to really struggle with the fact the booking was from Auto Europe and not directly with them "
" I have been struggling with Budget. The reservation details were not effectively in the Budget system from Auto Europe. After waiting 30 minutes to speak to my agent it took another 30 minutes to complete the rental process. I paid 1224 euro to Auto Europe un February but Budget had 1189 euro in there system. When i picked up the vehicle i asked if i would be able to return the car early. I was told that was not a problem and that i would be given a credit for the early return When i returned the vehicle 2 days early i asked for a receipt and was told that it would be emailed to me and that there was no issues, i never did receive the bill. Upon looking at my Visa statement I was charged 2664 euros When i called Budget i was told because i returned the vehicle two days early I was being charged a daily rate for my rental. I told Budget that the counter staff told me that i would get a credit for the early return, not cost more. By returning two days early my bill went from 1309 euros to 2664 euros. Had i know i would have simply just kept the vehicle the extra two days. I called Budget to resolve the issue and they said they would look into the matter. They closed my case with no action and continued to charge my card 2664 for a 12 day rental. I have called them back and reopened the case. I am very disappointed with this customer experience. "

" I have asked the Arbitrary Council to pursue a compensation for me of 1000 euros, for the loss of time and bad experience caused to me, related to this event. "
" Budget Rent a Car (SOVIAL, LDA NIPC: PT500276404) sent me an email with an additional cost of 565.76 euros for damages caused in the vehicle that I did not commit in any way, on July 31, 2018 to guruwheel@gmail. with and on August 3, 2018 to f.pereira.m@gmail.com. Very shocking to me, as I did not cause any damage to the vehicle, but on the contrary have been very poorly attended from start to finish by the company, and now have to go in the concern to solve matters involving the great lack of professional ethics of this company, and great disrespect for the customer. It was a case that was clearly unacceptable, which I do not admit to any, to any citizen of the world as a customer, much less to me. This is a total lack of respect for the customer because they did not check the car with me when I was delivered at Lisbon airport on July 16, 2018, they only gave me the key and pointed me to the location of the car in the parking lot. Surprisingly, when I got to the car, the deposit was a bit of fuel, and the contract that I had signed later mentioned full, also mentioned two scratches in the vehicle on the right and left side, which I noticed that they already existed before the car came to my hands. I immediately emailed the company, informed them of the fuel and the scratches and never the company answered. When I returned the car at Lisbon airport on August 31, 2018, one of the staff shouted at me when I arrived with the car, so I parked the car as they wanted, it seemed to me that I work for them, and had that parking of the car like they wanted, and worse still I was asked to sign drop-off it with a finger, on a machine that had the crackled glass / party that almost cut my finger, and I could not see what I was signing , but from what I understood it was to confirm that I delivered the car, nothing more was said to me there personally, about what I signed. I informed this staff that I was returning the full fuel tank as stipulated in the contract, but that it had been delivered to me less than halfway. The clerk told me that this was not with him and pointed to the counter, I went to the counter and the other staff told me that it was not with him and that I should talk to the colleague I spoke to earlier. I went back to the first staff who said, "Like I said, no, and I have to go to the counter." Then I remembered to get away from that place and went to the main desk inside the airport. At that point they told me that they would give me back 30 euros for the difference in fuel and they gave me the contract with this difference mentioned, and thus the contract was considered closed, as per my understanding. After four days of delivery of the vehicle, I received a shocking email of acts that I did not do in any way, such as damages to the car (scratch of the right side that already existed), presented in this email false invoices of 565.76 euros that do not concern me . Much more crime on their part if the above charge is made to my credit card. Having nothing more to talk directly with this company, I have sent this matter to the General Consumer Council, and to the Arbitrary Council. And after this emai to you another will also be sent to Trip Advisor. "
