Another thing I should mention is the unscrupulous insurance policy they had. When you rent a car from Budget in Romania (and that schmuck insisted it was different than other Budget's) they take a deposit in the form of a hold on a credit card. They put a 500 euro ($675!!) hold on my CC. In case of ANY accident (regardless of who is at fault or other circumstances) they keep that money. So if you happen to leave the car parked and someone crashes into it (or even scratches it), you're out 675 smackers. I find that ridiculous! It's a ripoff. [/QUOTE]

Very sorry to hear your story!!

They tend to do this in Europe. I have rented cars (premium) with vouchers which have a real full cover (in case of any damage i pay zip), and they blocked about € 300,00 anyway.
Could not convince them otherwise.
