I’ve rented a number of cars from a number of companies, Budget is the first one I have come across that has this policy.
I rented a car on the 21st May on a 1750QAR monthly rate, returned it on the 2nd September. All other companies have worked out the remainder days (12 days in this case), divided by 30 days (in a month) and then multiplied by my monthly rate.
Not Budget, Budget works out how many weeks are in the remainder and gives me the weekly rate, then in the new remainder works out how many days are in this new remainder and gives me the daily rate.
So for my loyalty renting a car on a monthly rate for over three months they then charge me daily rates just because you return it not on the even month.
Budget, you have lost my business.
Here are other car rental companies that I have used and are happy to divide any remainder by the monthly rate;
Thrifty
Europcar
Petra Rent a Car (Doha)
Sixt
