My Beef with Budget
My son holding the loose gas line
I helped my son move this week. We rented a Budget truck. We stopped for gas two hours into our trip and when I screwed off the gas cap, the line leading to the gas tank fell on the ground. Gas gushed everywhere right in the middle of a Murphy’s in a Walmart parking lot. Thankfully, I was standing to one side and managed to grab it up and prop it through the hole where it should have been secured. Then I got on the phone with Budget–needless to say, I was NOT happy. The Murphy ladies were great–they gave me orange cones to put at each end of the truck and we sat there for nearly four hours waiting for repairs. When I picked that truck up from Bryan TX, it had a full tank of gas. Anyone adding gas to that tank should have seen that something was wrong. I won’t rent from Budget again because this shows to me a considerable lack of attention to maintenance of their vehicles.
How could anyone not notice something like this???
