The car I booked was not available, even though there were NO OTHER CUSTOMERS because of the coronavirus. And most other suitable cars were NOT AVAILABLE. Finally we were given a Ford Focus which was covered in scratches and damage. This was not a problem for me but led to some misunderstanding when I returned the car.
One of the black employees was extremely dishonest. I specifically booked a Honda Jazz, but he gave me a lower class vehicle instead. The trunk was very small and couldn't fit two suitcases. I asked to switch to a Jazz, and he pretended to check with his colleague via walkie-talkie, but then told me there were no Jazz cars available. Resigned, I decided to make do with the car. However, upon further inspection, I found many scratches all over it, which I couldn't accept. So, I returned to the counter and asked for a newer car. When another white employee helped me, he said they had Jazz cars available. It seemed the black employee was unhappy because I didn't take up many of his suggested add-ons, so he gave me a hard time. This behavior from the black employee severely tarnished the company's image!
I prepaid the full amount when I booked through Zuzuche, but when I arrived at the store, the staff said I hadn't paid. The money was taken by Zuzuche but not given to the car rental company! Using the lack of prepayment as an excuse, they refused to give me the car I originally reserved and downgraded it to an Audi A5. I couldn't reach Zuzuche for help. After arguing at the store for 2 hours, the staff reluctantly gave us a Mercedes E-Class (which should have similar space as an Audi A6). It wasted a lot of our time and ruined our mood.
“Typical money grabbing service, overpriced for what you get, and not what you book.”
About Budget:6.0/10
I was given a golf instead of a suv- counter staff told me this was better but I couldn’t fit my suitcases in, and wanted an suv. They said they didn’t have any, then gave the lady behind me in the queue the car I had booked (mokka). A golf was equivalent size to a fiesta and I could’ve paid a lot less to hire an economy car. Really bad service.

Qeeq tried to resolve the issue the next day and managed to get budget to offer an exchange for the car originally booked. However I was by this time 600 miles away from the pick up location and not willing to go back, when it was their error. No refund in price difference has been offered.
Car was great. Could have been more efficient on petrol for compact / size of car.
