Budget fuel charges

Who : Budget

What : Dented Car

Budget Rent-A-Truck rented me a truck with no fuel line. Nearly four hours into my 20 hour trip, I stopped to put gas into the truck and found that I had to get on my hands and knees and go under the truck to pump the gas directly into to the fuel tank. When I called to complain and request another truck, I was told first that the damage must have happended in my care and second that all of their rental shops were getting ready to close and I could take it to a repair location (which was about an hour opposite the direction I was traveling) and wait for them to fix it. After I was told that it was okay to continue driving it, I continued to press toward my destination. I ended up stopping every 1 1/2 hours to put in gas (filling the tank up) on a 20 hour plus trip. Because the ride was so rough, we drove slowly and I had to stay at a hotel twice (and I was planning to drive straight through). I flew in someone to help me drive from one location to the next and also to help me move my things in my new place, but because we got into town at a much later date than we planned, he had to take his flight home immediately and I had to pay for movers.
