Cheap Car Rentals in Frederiksted

A Budget rep met us near the cruise dock (no actual Budget office there). We got a newer car, a Toyota Corolla, that was parked nearby. We returned it to the same place with no rep and the key locked inside as instructed. This was no problem as we got an email receipt within an hour. This six hour rental was an excellent way to tour the entire island at a good price.

Process was quickly and easy. Gas is cheaper in land than paying for there gas. Gas was $4.39 and they were charging $6.99. But everything was pretty much good and seaming-less. I would definitely use them again.

Features of the Toyota SUV we rented were very confusing. The trunk was impossible to lock when holding the key fob. We had no idea that as long as you hold the fob, the trunk opens. Why this is is a complete mystery and a huge shortcoming. When I lock the car, that should be it until I unlock it, regardless of where the key fob happens to be. The other major problem was that I couldn't lock the brights. I had to hold the lever to the left of the steering column if I wanted the brights on all the time. No one at Budget knew why this was happening. It seems to me that it is Budget's responsibility to explain every important feature of their cars to us before we leave the lot - unless we are familiar with the car, of course. We had to return the car to Budget at the airport to find out about the trunk locking issue. No one was able to explain the problem over the phone. This caused us a huge waste of time. Otherwise, the car was comfortable and performed well.
