I would never, ever use Budget again. I rented a new car in Salt Lake City and when I stopped for gas 200 miles later noticed that both front tires were not only bald, but cords were showing. In Yellowstone Park one tire blew and I had to use the donut tire in the trunk with the car parked in the road since I was in the mountains and no way to pull off the road. I tried to buy a repacement tire but had to drive over a pass to a station in the northern side of the park to get one in a snow storm with a donut tire and a bald tire. I needed to buy 2 front tires and it took me all day because the station keep having to go on a towing mission which was higher priority. I lost 2 days of vacation and when I returned the car with both bad tires in the trunk they offered to give me an upgrade the next time I rented a car. The least they could have done was not charge me for the rental. I sent pictures of the tires into the corp. office and never heard back from them.
