DO NOT HIRE YOUR CAR AT BUDGET NANDI I booked the car 2 days before (booking N0 23702673USI ) was quoted $450.11 Australian Arrived at office had to wait over an hour then was given a bill for $984.70 when I showed the lady my booking she snapped at me that it was in Fiji Dollars ( We did not know the exchange so I let it slide ) We soon found out that was not the case .We were charged $679.11 Australian The car was great everything we needed When we returned the car I told the rude lady the exchange rates do not vary that much The answer then was the rental price change daily You have to leave a $500.00 Fiji Dollar bond $344.82 Australian that will not be refunded for up to 14 days because they do a work shop check They did do a inspection when we returned the car so there was no problem in that area SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNEDReviewed 28 Jan. 2023

Confirmation number was sent, but upon arrival, we were informed that there were no more cars available. Disappointing experience with Budget.Reviewed 30 Oct. 2022

Arrived to find they had 'cancelled' our booking only hours before we arrived. No cars available. They claimed they tried to call, but I couldnt find any evidence of an attempt by them to contact me. Disrupted our travel plans. Very annoyed.Reviewed 23 Jul. 2022

Pros:Nothing. Kayak sucks. The rental agency does not hold any reservations made through Kayak so there is no guarantee you will get a car. I reserved a Jeep Wrangler. The only option available when we got their was a Toyota Corolla. Spent two weeks jammed into a vehicle that was too small for us.Cons:I’ll never use Budget or Kayak again. Go direct to the car rental company and prepay. It is the only way to guarantee they will have a car for you. Four other renters had the exact same experience while we were there fighting with the agent to get our rental so it wasn’t just us.Reviewed 7 Dec. 2019

Pros:The staff directed us to another car rental agency that was able to provide a car.Cons:When I reserve a car, I expect that to mean that a car will be available. Apparently this is not well understood by Budget. They did not have a car available as promised, so I can only provide the lowest rating possible as feedback. I won't make the mistake of reserving with Budget in the future.Reviewed 3 Dec. 2019

Pros:We did not end up renting a car with budget as when we arrived at the airport we were told they didn't have one available even though we were able to book it on line. We asked if there would be one the next day and they said call in the morning but probably not!!! So here we are stranded with no carCons:Everything!!! Will never book with budget again. How can an online system accept a booking and then be told there is no car available. We are now home and have just seen an insurance charge on our visa card DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!Reviewed 26 Sep. 2019

Pros:NothingCons:Reservation was at 6am at airport. We were told there's no car, and maybe by 11am there's one. They offered car rental from satellite car rental next booth. We had to rent from Satellit Rental(old car didn't work well so had to exchange)after an hour or two of hesitation. No apology either.Reviewed 27 Aug. 2019
