Cons: I left my iPad in the car at Chicago airport. Took shuttle bus to airport and at gate realized the error. It was impossible to reach a human at the airport car rental desk so couldn’t ask a human to grab the missing iPad. Was forced to fill out a form on the website. And of course it has not been found. If they would simply have let a person talk to a person, a lot of money and headache could have been saved.

Pros: The car I rented was fine.
Cons: The reservation was for Union Station. I was not informed that Budget had moved out of Union Station. Their next closest office was closed when I arrived. I was stuck overnight, arriving a day late and incurring additional expense.
