CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUDGET AT MANCHESTER AIRPORT, MAN

Helpful staff put us in a car that whilst large was underpowered for its size.Not Budgets issue just an observation.Drop off easy to find and service upon return was great.Small scratch on mirror however lady acknowledged as fair wear and tear which was apprecaited.

Process of booking was easy and good value for money.Would use site again definitely.

Very friendly and helpful

Issues with original drop off location. Booked to drop off at T5 LHR but when booked, it said T3-4. I spoke to a few people at easy rent cars and kept blaming system issues and not that quick at helping me

I am a seasoned car renter for the last 4 years renting cars at different parts of the world but this time I had the worst experience towards the end of the rental process after returning the car as I was accused of damaging the car tyre by Budget’s staff the next day after returning the car. It was disheartening to find that the accusations came without clarification with the client and proper checking by the check-in staff. It impressed upon me that Budget is only trying to punish their clients who did not purchase a Zero-Excess Insurance from them and they would use dirty tricks to cheat money by falsely accusing the driver of damaging their car AFTER they return the car. The odds are always against the Drivers as the rental Company could easily find thousand and one reason to penalise the driver on any car system error anytime they want. For my case, when I return the car it was in good condition but the Next morning my rental company received an email that I was being charged almost 3 times the car rental for damaging their front tyre. That is so absurd as the car was alright all the while as i drove from Manchester to and fro Edinburgh without any issues at all. If the tyre was damaged I would surely noticed it and reported straight away and it wouldn’t be possible to drive back safely over few hundred miles journey. Through this experience, I became very sceptical of car rental companies and initially I was planning of renting another car however that incident changed my mind. Unless car rental companies start stepping up on their integrity, all renters would be wary whenever they rent a car. I hope they reflect on this incident, especially Budget.

Thankfully I have Wendy Chen assisting me to follow up with the case, coordinating both with the rental company (Budget) and my Insurance company (AXA). Without her help, I would have been penalised another £150 innocently. She is amazing.

Upgraded on arrival, slight confusion over where to leave the car on drop off, but was able to speak to someone there even though it was early.

Excellent counter staff and drop off staff. Easy to deal with and clear on deposit and costs.

Happy with the platform, will use again.

They were very helpful in offering advices and recommendations and managed to finish pick up process in short time. Car was in excellent condition and very clean

Very useful and competitive pricing. Easy to book and choose from various options

Rep was very helpful and accommodating

Booking was easy and pleased with the price - however, at collection, the info Budget had was that Easycar had only booked and paid for a Fiesta (or similar), despite me booking a Focus - significant price difference. Budget man was very helpful and have it's what we needed.

Noticed we had a lot of luggage and upgraded our car!

I was given a complimentary upgrade but was charged £2.75 extra when I dropped off the car, which was puzzling as the staff member said it was the difference between the car I ordered and the car I was given. It wasn’t worth quibbling such a small amount but should not have been the case. There was something wrong with the car’s steering, which I reported on returning the car. It veered to the right at speed and when accelerating. Not safe.

All okay.

I rented a 7 seat van and was forced to use a 5 seat car. I was told it would be exchanged at my first hotel in London within 48 hours and it never happened. We had to continue our trip from England into France in the smaller vehicle. We also had to pay an additional $60 euros for the channel crossing due to a late booking. The car also had a stinky odder and we had to purchase a plugin air freshener. We did not smell it when getting in because the windows were all cracked and it was raining. The staff was nice but never solved the problem.

Nice company, with a lot of deals and special prices! Very easy process to book a car!
