Ive hired several times from my Budget branch in Newcastle city centre and always came away with a feeling of contentment.I always know that before I pick up my vehicle I will be driving a quality Ford, that is a new model and it will only be a couple of months old.

Ive hired several typres of car and on occasions Transit vans.All vehicles have been cleaner properly and are always ready at the time that I want the rental to start.Even the vans are spotless inside and out.

Normally the car groups you will get are

Group A is a Ford KA
Group B is a Ford Fiesta
Group C is a Ford Focus normally an 1800 Ghia
Group D is a Ford Mondeo

All vehicles Ive had have had PAS , elecric windows and air con as standard, which makes a refeshing change in the summer.

The rates themselves are reasonable priced, but tend to work out better than the likes of Avis and Hertz.The base rental is more expensive , but what you find is that the excess with Avis or Budget is £500 if you damage the vehicle whom ever is to blame or if the car is stolen.However with budget I find the excess if only £150.So always read the small print.

One thing I will warn people to do when hire a car FROM WHATEVER COMPANY is to check the following.

Make sure that the car has a spare wheel.You may be billed if its missing and you didnot point it out!!

Make sure that dents , scrapes however small,etc are report and mark down on the hire contract.

Make sure if the car is not wearing wheel trims that it is marked down also.....

Also make sure that the car has a full tank of petrol.make sure you also return it will a full tank otherwise you will get a bill for about £1.50 per litre or another way, over 7 quid a gallon as you pay for the mans time to go and fill it up.

Yes I agree good op.I hire quite a bit from a local rover dealer and they are very keen on scratches and stuff .
