We were rented a car that had low treads on the tires, which then caused us to have a flat tire while exiting the highway, wait 4 hours for roadside assistance, and lose a travel day. Budget did refund a day’s rental, but we should have been able to trust that the car we rented was safe to drive!

It could not have been better, I was slightly nervous as never having used kayak or budget before for car hire, but everything from pick up to drop off was easy, and went considerably smoothly, even adding a couple of extra days to the duration of the hire

Picking up and dropping off the car was a little time-consuming and involved a lot of waiting around. Aside from that, I had no issues whatsoever. The car was clean, comfortable, and in good condition, staff were friendly and polite, and there were no problems.

We found the staff very friendly and accommodating our needs. The location is great - right in Halifax downtown core. The only problem is the Avis rental system which, as a standard solution, cancels your existing reservation if you are late for pickup. Even though we’ve informed the staff that our flight is late and we cannot pickup the car before the rental office is closed the system requested to cancel the contract and open a new one, if cars are available…. We were just lucky that the Manger helped us to rectify it but we could not extend our rental for another day (that we lost due to late arrival). Overall great experience dealing with Management!!!

There was an extremely long line of customers waiting to get their cars with only 2 employees working, one of whom was being monitored which slowed her down immensely. The process was made longer due to the questionable requirement of the agent to try to upgrade you to a more expensive car and then to buy extra car insurance. Maybe if you cannot staff adequately you could forgo the extra sales efforts? Or maybe the lady standing there watching could fire up a terminal and get some travelers on their way?

Very accommodating, had no issue at all except at check in, the clerk wanted me to sign the inspection slip of the car without actually going out to inspect the car before leaving.. maybe he was new and that’s ok bc I just advised that we should go look before signing anything..

I thought the staff was nice, but the hotel let someone block my way out so I had to sit for 10 minutes before I could leave because someone went shopping and had to load all the bags while a hotel staff member blocked the driveway and the shopper blocked the fire lane. Also, would not have rented here if I knew I was getting a charger. They said it was the only “small car” they had. A charger isn’t a small car, it takes up a full lane and the hood is so large it reflects sunlight into the drivers eyes and is blinding. Won’t rent here again unless they have actual small cars available.

There was an extra $138 charged to my Visa. The experience of brining the car back was quite lovely, the clerk was very friendly and nice but she did not say a word about any extra expenses being put on my bill, she simply handed me a triple folded receipt and said have a great holiday season. The next day when I pulled the receipt out of my purse I saw the total charged to my account. Needless to say, I will NOT be using them again.

There was nobody there when we got there, had to wait half an hour for someone to get there then when we went to pay they would not accept it because the driver and credit card weren’t the same people. The woman was rude the whole experience also.
