Budget car rental shout out- Cardiff Wales

Seeing reports of bad experiences with rental car agencies prompts me to post my experience with Budget in Cardiff (Tudor Street location). The agency is a ten minute walk from the train station. My car was ready and the staff was very professional and friendly. I did the normal walk around and we were on our way. I'll add that Budget did not have a problem renting me a car because of my age. Two other companies had denied me booking due to being over 74.

I had read that google maps was not going to be available in the rural areas of Wales but I did not find that to be true (TMobile cell service). I had included GPS in the rental agreement but I was unable to make it work because I was unfamiliar with the car/set up. Not Budget's fault at any rate.

Drop off was quick and easy. There is a petrol station right beside the agency. Then just a 10 minute walk to train station.

I will also add that when I travel to Europe I do not add anything to my TMobile service. When I turn my phone on at my destination i get a welcome message and a reminder that data and texting are still free but phone calls will be $.25 a minute.
