I was traveling to Jackson, Mississippi for leisure purposes and needed a rental car. I booked a reservation in advance for an Intermediate - Group C vehicle from Wednesday, 06/03/26 until Friday, 06/05/26. The booking was reserved with Budget at the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN) in Jackson, Mississippi [100 International Dr].
I arrived at the rental car counter and spoke to the representative by the name of Nida. She asked which company I reserved the car under, since Avis, Budget, and Payless are all under the same umbrella. I'd like to note that Nida was super pleasant, helpful, and friendly.
Due to the limited inventory, I was given a complimentary upgrade. On top of that, she indicated that the vehicle assigned to me was super new to their car fleet. I ended up getting the Chevrolet Trailblazer, which only had a whopping 4 miles. It was beyond spacious and still had a new car smell.
For having the rental car for two days, the total came out to be $146.86. Around $73 a day was a little steep, however, the vehicle was fabulous and decent on gas. The overall experience was great, from Nida's hospitality to the nice upgrade at no additional cost. I wouldn't mind renting from Budget/Avis/Payless again. read more
