The Budget counter staff in Halifax were great. The rental cost was high, much higher than in previous years. But aside from cost the rental experience was great.

The Maxda CX 3 was woefully under-powered. The check engine light was on continuously and I told the woman at the desk who insisted that was really an oil level light that was never reset at last maintenance. Not really a good answer.

Car rentals always end up costing more than the initial quote. It would be helpful to provide all additional options/charges up front. Having said that the staff at pick-up and return were very friendly; we got an upgrade, and the car was spotlessly clean. Would definitely book again. The clincher was rushing back to the car when I realized I’d lost my wallet when we got to the check-in area at departures….to hear the attendant we’d dropped the car off with saying “hear she is” and returning my wallet (with ID needed for travel) with a smile!

Just didn't know where to drop off keys at 5.30 a.m. at the airport. Had to go into the terminal to ask. First time dropping a car so early. But found it. A sign would have been nice. Or maybe I missed it. 🤔

Loved that Hertz allowed a drop off at a different location. Communication about drop off point differed on paperwork compared to online confirmation. It all worked out.

The only thing I did not like was that i was charged an additional $7.00 for an air conditioning fee. This should be included with the base price.Air conditioning comes with the vehicle when the car is manufactured. I then asked for a car without air conditioning; they do not have any such car. Money grab big time (ridiculous). DJ.

Check in was fast as was the drop off. Staff is extremely friendly, polite and curteous. The only aspect is the rental prices, which are sky high right now. I do not believe rentals should bare such costs at this time.

The air conditioning in a brand new car blows warm/ hot at all times. Didn’t think that would be an issue until it was 27 in Ontario randomly…. The radio interface dies randomly on you … had no radio for 3 provinces.

Staff was great, car was garbage. Dirty windows inside, but more importantly the car had bald tires which made a horrible vibration. It became noticeable once we were on the highway, and became worse during the week to the point that it was unsafe to drive.

There was an extra $138 charged to my Visa. The experience of brining the car back was quite lovely, the clerk was very friendly and nice but she did not say a word about any extra expenses being put on my bill, she simply handed me a triple folded receipt and said have a great holiday season. The next day when I pulled the receipt out of my purse I saw the total charged to my account. Needless to say, I will NOT be using them again.

We had a reservation for a compact car, and were offered an upgrade to a larger car at no charge. Had a Hyundai Sonata, very nice car with good fuel economy.

We arrived at Halifax airport late (9:30 PM), and called the number. No answer. Waited about 10 minutes, called again, go someone to pick us up. Staff should have headsets to be able to answer phone wherever they are, to avoid panic attacks by customers.

Car was good fitted with satnav fitted and we received an upgrade

Rental company would not accept vehicle excess insurance which had been purchased, so we had to take full insurance with the rental company which was more expensive and then claim a refund on the external policy

There was an extremely long line of customers waiting to get their cars with only 2 employees working, one of whom was being monitored which slowed her down immensely. The process was made longer due to the questionable requirement of the agent to try to upgrade you to a more expensive car and then to buy extra car insurance. Maybe if you cannot staff adequately you could forgo the extra sales efforts? Or maybe the lady standing there watching could fire up a terminal and get some travelers on their way?

Very accommodating, had no issue at all except at check in, the clerk wanted me to sign the inspection slip of the car without actually going out to inspect the car before leaving.. maybe he was new and that’s ok bc I just advised that we should go look before signing anything..
