Rented a car from Budget in Richmond, VA, hoping for a smooth weekend, but it turned into a nightmare. The car had issues starting, and twice the power steering failed while driving. It was terrifying, and we didn't feel safe at all. We had to rely on DoorDash and Ubers, spending more than planned, just to get through the weekend. Eventually, we swapped the car to make it back to Richmond. When we reached out to customer service, they offered only a 50% discount, which felt like a joke after the dangerous experience we had. It's clear Budget doesn't prioritize their customers' safety or well-being. Definitely not recommending them to anyone.
