|Aug 2023Car ran great, we had enough to space. I wasn’t happy to have to put Blue liquid in my car. That something that I shouldn’t have to take care of, I felt it was on Budget to make sure it was topped off

|Jun 2023Budget location was closed for the summer, I was not notified by anyone after making my booking in January 2023. Showed up and was unable to get a car. Had to pay hundreds of euros extras to book a flight and different rental car. Will never use this service again.

|Apr 2023While the rental counters are not in the terminal they are located directly across the street from the terminal. The facilities are fine and it is easy to leave the airport once you have picked up your car. Returning your car is equally hassle free.
