Extremely dissatisfied. The store staff had a bad attitude, the reserved car was not available, and I was told to either pay extra or accept a subpar vehicle, specifically a MiniVan. The car looked terrible, with scratches all over the body. The next day, the car broke down, and the engine wouldn’t start. I immediately called for roadside assistance at 2 PM, but the tow truck didn’t arrive until 9:30 PM. During this time, the car rental company and the roadside assistance company delayed and passed the responsibility back and forth, which was extremely frustrating. The breakdown location was only about a 10-minute drive from the rental store, so they could have easily brought a replacement car, but they didn’t intend to do so and instead passed the issue to the roadside assistance company. By the time the roadside assistance company finally got us to the rental store, Budget, it was almost closing time. The staff said they didn’t have a car ready for us, even though the roadside assistance company had told me the store had prepared an SUV. However, the store staff said otherwise. Fortunately, someone returned a Toyota Corolla, which was then given to me. It was already 11 PM by this time. From calling for assistance to getting a new car, it took 9 hours. The entire day’s plans were ruined, and I couldn’t check into my reserved hotel, resulting in a no-show charge. Budget might be struggling, merging with AVIS. Many locations have either dual branding or only AVIS branding. I picked up the car at Union Square in San Francisco, booked via Budget, but the store only had AVIS signage. The breakdown happened in Monterey, and I switched cars at the local airport, which also only had AVIS signage. This might explain the bad service. I advise everyone to avoid Budget if possible.
It's quite convenient, but there are some differences from domestic services to note. After getting the keys, you need to leave the parking lot within 15 minutes. Make sure to check the fuel gauge when picking up the car, as extra fuel added during drop-off will not be refunded.
Good service attitude, no upselling even with full insurance purchased. They let you choose from several models. The staff I met was an Asian named Bobby.
I waited in line for 40 minutes, and when it was finally my turn, they said the car wasn't ready yet. I had to wait another 40 minutes. This was quite inconvenient, and the line was also very long. But at least they gave me two nice cars, both brand new Lincoln Corsairs.
I waited for more than one hour to get my car. Not only there is a long line, your staff members left their posts one by one. Thank made the waiting longer. No explanation as to why.

“The pick up process was discombobulated & took too long but we enjoyed the rental vehicle”
About NU Car:6.0/10
It was pouring rain, and we were expected to inspect the vehicle using an iPad in an uncovered lot. Additionally, they didn't have enough iPads for all customers so we had to wait. When I finally got an iPad, the vehicle keys they gave me didn't work with any van on the lot - they were a spare set of keys to a van already rented to someone else. NU found me another van but didn't update the rental policy with the new van information until I pointed it out to them. Pick up was a real mess and there were other customers who rented children's car seats but they were broken and not functional.
