The lady at the counter, Katalina was very professional, and courteous (on day 1 May 24th AND day 2 May 26th, I'll explain that). The first car they provided was a Blue Jeep Compass, it was extremely dirty inside, tank not on full and had both front tires bald, we found this out after the drivers side rear tire went flat while we were driving from Quebradilla to Isabela, we called the 'Roadside' 800 number (May 25th 2024 @ 10:30 AM, (after 4 phone calls to the 800 number, and finally getting someone on the phone they said "stay by the vehicle, we will call you back" @ 12:45PM on May 25th, today is June 8th and I'm still waiting for that call back) we took the vehicle to the nearest flat fix shop 4 miles away from where it went flat (as me managed to put air into the tire 3 times before reaching the flat fix, the Jeep Compass does not have a spare tire, nor did the agent mention that at the time of the pick up, it ONLY has an air pump in the compartment in the rear of the vehicle). It cost me 7 hours of my vacation and $32.00 to get the tire repaired, which I was told from the Aguadilla location AND the Corp Office, that I was not going to be reimbursed for the flat tire. We took the vehicle back on May 26th @ 8:30 AM because their website states hour of operation on Sat & Sun 9AM - 3PM AND 4PM - 4AM (which is a fricken lie) Katalina showed up at the counter @ 10:18AM (this is day 2), I think she deserves praise for having to deal with the bullshit this company dishes out at her and she manages to keep a smile on her face all the time. BUT, please get to work on time for goodness sake!!! OR change the fricken hours of operation on the website. Katalina was able to get us into another vehicle within the same car class and that vehicle had no major issues (key words MAJOR ISSUES). Long story short - I return the vehicle on May 28th at 4PM as we came back to FL on JetBlue flight , Those mother humpers did not finalize the rental paperwork until May 29th @ 9AM and sent me another bill for an additional day and late fees. Now I'm getting another bill saying that I drove the Jeep Compass thru toll booths on the other side of the Island. Stay away from this rental place - Budget Rental Car, AGUADILLA Hanger airport location is horrible, DO NOT RENT FROM BUDGET IN AGAUDILLA PR, THEY ARE fricken CROOKS AND THEIR CARS ARE NOT SAFE, CLEAN NOR WORTH IT, GETTING DIRTY SMELLY CARS WITH BALD TIRES. If you're dumb enough to go with them like I did, make sure to take pictures/videos of everything, gas receipts, tires, interior, engine compartment, roof, trunk compartment and the gauges on the dashboard because if you don't and they charge you for 'IT', you will be on the phone like me for hours on in - talking to Corp office - complaining about being over billed for multiple things.
BIG THANK YOU to the guys from 'Centro Gomas Mejicano' for being honest people and going above and beyond just fixing the flat, they alerted me about the 2 front tires being bald. read more
