First time ever that it was freaking hard! Everytime I entered my email address it told me it was invalid! I tried to scan my credit card, that didn't freaking work either! It auto filled in my billing address for the state of Pennsylvania!!! Finally, I just signed in as a guest. Even that was complicated! So, for some reason, what usually takes me a few minutes, almost to an hour! Hopefully this won't happen again!!! I need a drink!!!

States that you are able to reserve a rental car using a debit card, yet once you arrive you are subjected to a credit check in order to actually rent the reserved car. The CATCH? Well, once you reserve online using your debit card, if you do not "pass" the credit check at the Budget location and are found to not have credit to Budget standards....you are still charged a large fee for cancellation of your reservation. No thank you! Enterprise is where I go!!

They are better by the day. Will stay with BGT. But the problem with the app is that it has issues. One issue is that it won't save the fastbreak number. The other issue is that there's no text support via app. One other issue is that you can't change reservations via app. You have to call. And other things that I don't recall for now. But, the service, pickup/drop of times, cars, and locations are the best.
