Budget FastBreaks Take Too Long
Posted: Oct 05, 2009
Why do I have a FastBreak account?
1) I have for the last 10 weeks or so using my Fast Break and although Avis has a sign up where people can see what car they have and can go straight there, I have to go to the booth, wait in line and find out what car I have. This is amazing since i have to go to the Avis booth to get my car.
2) Last week I rented a car (with FastBreak) and it was a horrible experience. Once I waited in line to find out what car I had, I went to the space (lugging my baggage) and there was no contract in it. Then I went back to the booth and although I just asked for them to print a new contract, someone went to look then looked at ALL the cars to find my contract. After about 20 minutes they came back and printed a new contract (for a different car). What a waste of time.
3) When I returned the car, I looked at the contract and the bill was twice what it is normally (each of the past ten weeks or so). It took about 20 minutes after I returned my car to get it straightened out. Once again, I'm glad I had the FastBreak to help me out.
4) I rented a car tonight and after waiting in line to get the contract (and waiting for about 10 minutes while they looked it up and printed it) and going to my car, I looked at the contract and found yet another rate on it (not as high as last week, but still way too much). I went back to the booth and after about another 10 minutes, I got the correct rate. Good thing I had Fast Break.
Please explain to me what FastBreak gets me and why I should ever rent from Budget again? This seems to become more and more of a problem and take more and more of my time. Since I fly in at 10pm or so on Sunday nights, I would really hope to save any time I can getting to my hotel. This concept seems to be missed by your company.
