We booked a gas car for a quick Oregon getaway, but when we showed up at night, they said no gas cars were available. We had to take an EV or wait hours, and nobody even called us to warn us. Accepting the EV, we later found out about surprise charges for a second driver. The EV was a nightmare—charging stations were either non-existent or full. We wasted hours trying to charge, and it wrecked our plans. We missed the Seaside Aquarium and almost missed a concert in Portland, even spending extra on Ubers. Budget’s customer service was no help, dismissing our concerns and offering no compensation. The whole experience was frustrating, with poor communication and unexpected costs. If you rent from Budget, don't count on them honoring your reservation or helping when things go south.
