Avoid Budget rent a car Chile (Tattersal Leasing)
I got a battered Suzuki Grand Vitara with 85000KM (!) - compared to 5k-12k cars I got in Argentina.After driving for 30 minutes I realized the A/C is dead, returned and they fixed it. Later I realized high beam doesn't work either. Two mornings after, it turned out the A/C was faulty again. I went to the Iquique office, got the same story (no replacement car, wait for it to be fixed again), we agreed to replace the car in Calama.I got there, and the car was not ready - they did not get the replacement tires. They suggested to take 2 tires from the existing car (The new car was 71000km...). I asked the guy if he's sure the tires are ok, since he replaced only two - he told me yes. I left with the "new" vitara with 2 wheels from the "old" Vitara. After 300km the tire ruptured completely.I got back to Budget Calama, only to hear that they're going to charge me (!) for rupturing their old...
