Simple selection, follow instructions and when you go to pick up your car it is ready for you. Just credit card needed for €300 refundable deposit.

Everything fine with rental…needed my NI number for a DVLA check which I was unaware of … it didn’t but this could have caused a delay/issue.

Having booked a BA holiday including flights and car hire I found that I had to pay additional insurance when I picked up the car despite having a Reduce My excess policy - apparently this was because I had a British Driving license There was also a hard sell in vehicle upgrade

The welcome and assistance was 2nd to none. Also received an upgraded car which was unexpected. The return experience was less than satisfactory. We searched for a petrol station near the airport to fill up but could not find one so had to return the vehicle half full. We were charged £5 per litre as a result plus VAT which we think is daylight robbery. I can appreciate the need to pay a little extra but this was totally unacceptable. Sadly this spoilt what was a great experience until this point.

It took a long time to get the car due to a queue of people but the process was quick once I got to the front. Helpful assistant at the desk and on getting the car. Easy to return and £1300 on my credit card disappeared two days later,,

Appalling and dangerous. I was given a car whose illegal front tyres were so badly worn because of misaligned tracking they were almost down to the casing and the metal threads were showing through. I only noticed this the next day when I could see both tyres in clear daylight. The discussion with Budget took some hours, the car being eventually trailered away. Budget could not find a replacement car locally and offered me a taxi back to Blagnac with a cost limit so I would have had to pay for about half the taxi fare and which would have taken a number of hours which I could not afford. I shall be making a formal complaint and will expect return of my money and compensation for hiring me a potentially lethal vehicle.

Very easy pick up I was contacted by Budget before my trip to check in with all the documents you have to provide on arrival. All I had to do when I got there was to show my passport. Within 5 minutes I was driving away

No problems, whatsoever. I recommend photographing the car, checking the fault sheet with their service garage and taken pictures at drop off. If anything does go wrong, you're prepared.

Ready for us and efficient. No protracted discussion about us taking out separate excess insurance which was a big plus.

Good service. Car hire is very expensive at the moment so would very much like if the cost came down.
