Pros: I got a car
Cons: Pick-up location in SFO had a long line and too few agents. The agent was good when my turn finally came, but after an 11 hour flight and 1 1/2 hour line to get through airpprt immigration, more waiting at Budget did not make me happy

Gotta Get Home
Pros: The car was clean & ready.
Cons: Couldn't easily get from SFO international terminal to Budget kiosk. Car was place in nearly last spot in multi-level garage, past other similar rentals. No instruction on controls use.

Oil Change Issue and Insurance
Cons: They did a poor job explaining how the insurance worked. Additionally, the "Change Oil Soon" light was on in the car. I would have requested a new car but was in a hurry. Very unprofessional.

Budget is the best
Pros: I like that you only charge $11 per day for insurance. Enterprise charges like $29 per day which is ridiculous. Still, they did give me a nice car and I really like Budgets Blue, Light orange and Dark orange logo which is nice to look at.
Cons: The line at SFO to pick up car was a whole hours wait which is very difficult after a 5 hour flight.
