Called the number and spoke to Tina twice regarding the website not working. Both times she said she would call me back when she got into the office. Never called. So, I can't review on their cars as I never got that far. But service is a definite no. The more positive reviews are older so maybe the business isn't doing as well as in the past. In addition Practicar's main 800 number leads to one of those scam call centers offering "medical IDs" to people over 55.

The front desk person was very friendly, efficient, and helpful with advice and suggestions when we told him of our plan to drive to Tofino. It was greatly appreciated! The car was a brand new 2025 Prius with low miles. We loved the car. Turning it in was easy, thanks to the detailed instructions we were given by the airport person. The gentleman working the desk downtown was equally efficient and friendly. I'd highly recommend Budget and will use them again, for our next trip up.

This was to be expected and I was happy to pay. After dropping the vehicle off 2 days later I was charged $180, over double what I was quoted. I spent close to 3 hours on the phone having this charge refunded but once I got in contact with the right people they were very accommodating. If this happens to you make sure you call the actual branch and not the budget customer service line.

Alarm - Stay away from Budget Car Rental in Victoria BC. This company doesn't honor their online…read morereservation at all. Charges more than double of their own quote. I booked a car from Victoria Budget Car Rental's own website, for my wife to pick up in Victoria airport on Dec 4, 2015. Budget formally quotes CAN$214.61 for 1 week, with all the details and a confirmation # 21609197CA1. When my wife arrived on time and went to pick up the booked car, Budget changes her more than $400. She tried to argue by showing them the printed reservation. Well, that is useless and the Budget employees don't care their company's own quotes. What a bunch of con artists!

But U Haul charged for an adaptor for the brake lights - I have never had to buy a new one - other U Haul depots 'always' provide one as part of the rental. When we returned the trailer there was a huge line up as the system was down. Understand this - it happens. BUT the staff were dreadful. Unhelpful and rude. They advised us to leave the trailer and that when their system was 'up' they would process the rental. I don't trust these people. We have taken a time stamped photo of the rental on its return. So lets see if the terrible people try and scam us. There are lots of other good rental people around. U Haul Sidney are excellent unfortunately they did not have a motorcycle trailer to rent.

All the guys standing around outside are quick to tell you to park somewhere else, but can't tell you where to go when it's totally full! Then inside, I waited 15min to buy packing paper - and then gave up - why is there only one person working but 5 guys standing around outside? Totally frustrating, seems like they really don't want any customers!

The underground garage where the cars are have reasonable signage to point out the Avis portions and we had no trouble finding the car and heading out. Very quick process to get going, but I can see there being a bit of a wait if there are others picking up ahead of you since there appears to be just one person working there at a time. Returning was a little tougher since there are only 5-6 spots for returns and we had to wait for one to free up (not sure if we would have been allowed to park in another non-reserved spot). Otherwise returning was a pain free process. Would definitely use this Avis location again.
