Bad service
I was attended by the rudest lady at pick up. Completely ignored my observation that I was already a Budget client. Imposed an unnecessary, expensive, over the counter full insurance, (which I already had acquired through Rentalcars) or a nearly 3k holding deposit, far above market. When I mentioned that Budget never retained large amounts like that before, she angrily replied that "well, this is Ireland. We're a totally different branch, and we play by our rules". The car provided was a beaten and quite dirty (inside and outside) hatchback with an alert light on the panel, even though I booked a Corolla sedan or similar. By this point, i was too tired ans too late to complain, so I just took it as I also had a two year old crying while waiting. I booked this vehicle (even with LOTS or cheaper ones by other companies) because I always had great experiences with Budget in the UK. I also thought that being a loyal client would make a difference. Not impressed at all.
