| - Some rental car company complaints amuse me (and many don't). I think part of the behavior of rental car company is that they are handing the keys to a $30,000 vehicle (give or take) to someone they barely know (again, give or take), and the driver will probably abuse the car because it's "not theirs", so I take no offense against a counterling who once again reviews insurance issues and wants me to sign-off on decline additional coverage. Fortunately, I haven't had to deal with a real problem. Part of that is luck, and I've read true horror stories. This time, lucky again.
Budget did a great job. No complaints. Fast (as can be expected -- it's never fast if you go to the counter), pleasant, competent service. A great car and a reasonable price. Fast return. Considering this a rental car company, it's as good as it gets. Yes, I can fantasize better service: I get a big hug as I walk in, some old guy immediately tosses me the keys to a corvette and says, "bring it back empty, and don't worry about a crumpled fender". But since I'm renting a car in the real world, not an imaginary one, this was as good as it gets.
