I have to support Budget Rent-a-Car.
I use them semi-frequently as I have an older pick-up truck that is not so comfortable for longer drives. Renting a nice car from time to time is a lot cheaper than buying a new one.
About five weeks ago my wife was in an accident (near Thalang) in a Budget car and I have to say they were VERY helpful. The accident wasn't her fault and we've all heard the "Farang pays for everything" story - but Budget was "Johnny on the spot" - got there very quickly and their insurance man was there within 30 minutes. The police were very polite and fair - we paid for nothing.
Budget even made sure that we quickly got a replacement car - which was actually an upgrade and we still paid the lower price.
I started using Budget as I had good luck with them in other countries - and had rented a few pretty lousy cars here on the island from other outfits. Also had a friend ripped-off with the old - "these scratches are new" trick. Budget - never a problem with those issues.
I'm a fan. The accident really sealed the deal - I'll use only them in the future.
