The car was having many mechanical problems, high kilométrage, didn’t feel safe driving it most of the time. Issues with the brakes and balance. It seems like it had a big collision recently and didn’t get the proper fix.

Overcharged and not given the vehicle reserved. Gave me lower class and smaller and overcharged me for it. Not given the promised refund even though I emailed and called them multiple times. Hounding me for review and keeping the refund hostage until I write a review. Well; here you go, Budget! This is the response you demanded in order to issue my refund.
