I travel a lot and this Budget at Cedar Rapids CID is unlike any other Car rental I have dealt with in the last 5 years.
Don't expect to have someone sign you out as you leave the lot. Don't expect someone to check your car when you drop it off.
Also , this is the first rental agency that said I would have to give my personal car policy # for liability, whereas no other agency has ever "hustled me" for liability insurance above the agreed price when I mentioned the credit card covers it !
But expect an adjuster to call you a week later and say that the car now has bumper damage ! I dropped off the rental car in the same shape as received, which FYI had numerous touched up scratches like most Budget / Thrifty rental agency budget rental cars. Big difference is , every time I use Thrifty in St Louis, Minneapolis, NY, Miramar FLA, etc, someone checks your car in and out and hands you a sheet to circle any marks / damage before you take the car. I was never afforded one or greeted by anyone else except by a Avis person in the cubicle at the tiny airport. I asked about check out...".don't worry, we'll contact you if there is an issue" !!!
The cars from aproximately 5 dealerships are all left there and no one checks. This comes down to these "clown's" word against mine or any customer that parked a car around mine that could have hit it, scratched it, whatever ?
I expect to hit every review site I can to let folks know about these shiesters !! read more
