Reservation was canceled by budget couldn’t even get a car

I picked up a dirty car. Then I called to ask to extend my reservation one day to which they agreed and gave a me a quote. To my surprise the bill for my rental was over 100$ more than I was quoted on the phone. When i called to contest they told me it was a late fee. When i protested that I called to extend the reservation they told me they had no record of it. I even tried to send them the phone record of me calling them the day before and talking for 10 mins and they disregarded it. Horrible company(budget) horrible experience.
To start we were not able to get the car. Upon arrival while raining cats and dogs the sales person proceeded to inform us that he didn’t have a car available. He sent us back to wait for him to have a car but without the warranties to have one and without a timeline. We were forced to change plans. He also told us that we should rent direct with them, they prioritize those and this is not the first time I get that feedback, bad business for Kayak.
