Budget Car Rental

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. I rented a very nice new Ford Escape, smoke free. Got it home & found IF it had been cleaned, it wasn’t well. Garbage under the seat, stunk at stale smoke (?), ashes around the floor console. On the road, noticed the informational panel was set to Spanish, which I don’t speak. An info bar seemed to be telling me something, but what? Then the chimes started and an icon lit up with an «!». Found an auto repair place, they couldn’t figure out how to reset the panel as we couldn’t locate the instruction book. They said the icon was low tire pressure. ALL FOUR TIRES were dangerously low they said. They filled with air and advised I keep an eye on it. Directed me to a Ford dealer to try to reset the info panel. Located the Ford dealer. ok. On the road, the «oil change required» warning came on every time I would start up the vehicle. Sticker on windshield said oil change was completed 6 mos ago, 18,000 miles ago. I was traveling on the weekend, desolated roads, small towns. EVERY time I started the vehicle, I’d have the oil change warning. My entire weekend I kept wondering if I was going to have the engine overheat in the middle of nowhere. Upon the vehicle return, the attendant told me I should have looked in the spare tire bed for the possible location of the instruction manual, apologized for the dirty/​stinky vehicle, and told me he had a degree in auto mechanics so I shouldn’t have worried about the oil change warning light. Yeah, that will make me feel better as I’m stranded on the road with a WARNING LIGHT, that the rental guy has a degree in auto repair. That really helps me. Then he handed me my bill. Will NEVER rent from them again. I rented a new vehicle for this long trip just to make sure I’d have no vehicle problems knowing I would be in some very small towns. Destination: population 503. Think they had a Ford Dealer on hand? nope.
