Also, although its been a while since I checked - once it happened to me - I DID check the fine print and its nowhere mentioned in the contract that I see online [perhaps that has been fixed by now]. I also think I checked the paperwork I got once - but if you are a fastbreak customer, you often don't get anything - and there is nothing you sign such as the other waivers, etc. After finding out about it, it would be no big deal BUT for the hell they put you through to get it taken off. So actually, Budget does "make you run laps" to get the charge removed. As I previously posted, I was forced to wait inside at the rental counter during thanksgiving rush time in florida for over 30 minutes. I find this unreasonable. People do fast break for a reason. Also I find it unreasonable that knowing I only drove one of their cars 5 miles, they should want to charge me $9.50 for the gas when I can and refill it myself for much less.
