Budget Car & Truck Rental - Moving Tip #65

I'd give them 0 stars or a negative rating if I could. Rented a car at the Indianapolis Airport…read more The rental was fine until I scraped a curb and damaged a tire which went flat overnight. With no spare tire or tire-changing equipment in the trunk, I had to request a tow to a nearby small town. Budget representatives decided the only way to have the tire changed was to have it towed 207 miles to Detroit! This despite there being several good-sized cities nearby. The tow company in the small town agreed that towing it that far was ridiculous and they were able to find a tire locally, changed the tire right there, and I was on my way. When I returned from my trip, I received a bill for $748.40 for towing services and other related fees. I have been trying to resolve it with my insurance and AAA ever since. Today I spent 2 - 3 hours on the phone being stonewalled by one Budget agent after another, until I finally found one who would send me the itemized bill which showed the breakdown of costs including the non-existent 207-mile tow. This was the first I'd heard that I was being charged for something which never happened. I am still in the midst of trying to resolve this situation, but Budget has been a nightmare to deal with. I've never had trouble with them at other rental locations, but then again I've never had an accident with a rental car, no matter how minor. Not sure if it's the Indianapolis airport location or their nation-wide "lack-of-customer service" department. Beware of these shysters!

AVOID BUDGET AT ALL COSTS!! This company is downright terrible in every possible way. Rented a…read moretruck for a move. The trucked ended up having a broken ramp. Budget didn't send someone out to fix it until almost midnight and then CHARGED ME for the day too. They are rife with junk fees and don't disclose anything in advance. DO NOT USE BUDGET. If I could leave a negative review I would.

We purchased our car rental package with American Airlines. In Indianapolis, we were shocked at how…read morelong & slow line at the Avis counter with only 2 employees. We waited just over 2 hours & at the counter. The lady at the counter couldn't check & see what we would be charged. There was one $300+/-charge that came up on the credit card machine that she explained was a security deposit & to call Avis with questions. The charge should have been $200, but came up $300 and she couldn't explain why. In the parking garage, Josh was the employee working. There were marks on the hood & front area around the hood of the car he was giving us. I was worried about being held responsible for this "damage". Josh explained it was a new vehicle & we wouldn't be charged. When looking inside the vehicle, the car was full of trash, we asked about where charging ports were located & Josh told us to go to a gas station & pick up an adapter. At the garage gate, the wonderful female employee (not being sarcastic, she was great), notated the hood & front-end marks on the "pink slip". She notated that the car only had 4000 miles & that "Josh" hadn't even taken the time to put gas in the car! It had less than 1/8th of a tank of gas. This sweet lady explained to us to take a picture of the "pink slip" that most likely when we return the vehicle, the employees will make that "pink slip" disappear & we would be charged for items that we should not be charged for. We were given a dirty rental car, with trash (cups, sunglasses, receipts, & used band aids), hood & front-end marks, & NO FUEL! Terrible customer service. Upon the end of our trip, we made sure to put more fuel in the vehicle than it had when we picked it up. Later that day two separate charges came through on our credit card. One over $300 & another just under $50. Since returning the vehicle I have had daily emails with Avis disputing these unexpected charges, some of which are for fuel. This has been the most disappointing and frustrating transaction of our trip & we won't be using Avis again. To say we are frustrated is an understatement. My advice is to look into other car rental companies. It seems like such a racket with all these crazy fees and surcharges for everything. Somehow, read the fine print before getting to the counter.

The absolute worst! I had rented and paid for a rental from Payless, which is owned by Avis and…read morebudget and when I arrived at the airport, I was told by the lady at the counter that they ran out of cars! It was almost 1 AM so I had no choice but to Uber to my hotel and then Uber to my meetings the next morning! I spent more on Ubers that morning than the rental had cost! After Uber back to the airport, they finally had a car for me and when I turned it in the Avis counter clerk told me that I could get some compensation and gave me his manager's card! I wrote Miss Espinosa an email and included screenshots of my bank account and Uber charges. She wrote back to ask me for my contract number I sent it to her and she GHOSTED ME! Never again!

I was once in the area during a windstorm and it nearly "Blue Indy" off the map. But anyway…read more I love these little rentable cars that you drive around town. Brilliant idea. They're all over the place now, on several continents in a lot of major cities. It's awesome that they have come to Indy, but for the people of Indy that haven't experienced them in other places, let me assure you that the cars are usually better maintained than these Blue Indy ones, and that customer service is usually more reachable. Still, great to have them in Indy... but they need work.

Blue INDY has popped up all around downtown and Broadripple over the last year. I became a member…read morejust before they launched service and use them from time to time. Unfortunately, the service is better in concept than in reality. The concept: belong to a service where you have the use of an electric vehicle you drive yourself to get from point a to point b. Park in a Blue INDY spot and plug in and go about your business. Ready to go home, repeat the same process. The reality is that of the last few cars I've taken, there has been a problem with every single one. Aside from every car I've ever taken being filthy inside, here are just a few of the problems I've had. -Trip 1: Picked up car and something was rubbing against one of the tires. Called the support line and was accused of hitting something. Drove vehicle around the block and plugged back in, charged for trip. Unable to get to destination. Actually got text message 90 minutes after returning car telling me I was still on my trip and had to call back in a second time and argue to avoid being charged. - Trip 2: Another trip, another station. Picked up car and rolled window down. Upon parking, window would not roll back up. Would go about half way and then go back down. Finally got it to go up after fussing with it for several minutes. - Trip 3: Another trip, another station. Accelerating in traffic and car started to stall. Almost scared the @$#% out of me. The concept is good, but they really need a little more TLC (and some window washing fluid) or else they're going to have to start replacing them soon.
