Disappointed in car selection
I've found over the past year, the quality and selection of cars at Budget has gone downhill; especially when you have many "Avis" cars on the lot.
Anyone agree? Disagree?

I just miss the Ford Rangers. That was the main reason why I rented from Budget, although I still rent from them when they're far better than Hertz on price, or if I need a one-way rental.

Only Car in my "fast track" class at PHX was a scratched up, dented, carpet torn Chevy Classic. I went to the fast track booth to get a damage report and had the attendant argue with me that the car was not a good clean ready to go vehicle. She refused to give me a damage report and told me that they would take care of it upon return. I told her to go fly a kite and get the damage to the car put on my forms before I ever left the lot. About 45 min later still had the junky car and finally left to go to work. Budget has fallen, fast and hard.....
