Nice and smooth

i had problems with my reservation with budget. at the counter they wanted to see my israeli passport and drivers license. i had the passport but no knowing i might need my foreign license i did not bring it. they at first refused to honor my reservation as is including all insurances and told me to try somewhere else. finally the manager said if i could show a boarding pass or something showing i was outside the usa when i booked the car they would honor it. i did not have my boarding pass but fortunately i found something issued by israel as i passed through passport control that showed i left israel on dec 19. it was stressful and i had no idea i would need documentation as i booked the reservation in dollars in english and i also have a new york drivers license.

great rates including insurances works well for me as i dont have auto insurance in america. but i dont recall anything on the documentation telling me i would need a foreign drivers license to pick up the car. perhaps it is just budget.

It was excellent service

More than 50 people in line and only three employees at the rental counter

The wait time to pick up a vehicle in San Jose was awful. When dropping off vehicle, the directions are way too confusing.

la voiture était plus spacieuse que celle attendue. Mais j'ai regretté de n'avoir pas pris un SUV
