Budget Dublin, terrible service.
I booked a car with Budget Dublin (through Discovercars, reservation number DC-8219326), and the total price online was €418.92. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the Budget desk in Dublin, we didn't have the required €2,000 credit card availability (the card had a daily limit of €1,000 and the bank needed 2 days to update the amount), so they charged us a total of €797.21. I offered to pay with a debit card, but Budget refused it. I had already paid a deposit of €139.44 online to Discovercars, but Discovercars refused to deduct this deposit from the final total. As a result, the total amount I had to pay reached €936.65. This amount is 120% more (€517.73) than what I should have paid. I find Budget's behavior absolutely unacceptable; they exploited our oversight and our fatigue after the flight to overcharge us. Do not book with Budget Dublin, terrible service.
