Declined cashback despite hiring with them. Can't dispute claim as booked well in advance. Car hire itself was okay.

Just an update Topcashback advises still to wait.It's already been many months now and my casback had tracked then removed.I have a rental for July 2017.Guys really they just do not want to pay some members.Still they get the advertising on the site and no doubt the business.All the funny advertising that Topcashback pay for on cable TV may get new members in,however they still have dodgy affiliates who mess members about.

Great value car hire and reasonable cashback

Great car and service. but cashback was refused as they incorrectly claimed we had cancelled. TopCashback were unable to sort it, even with offers of all the receipts as proof. :-(

received no cashback, Budget claimed I had not booked through Topcashback, which is rubbish, I will not be using them again

Tracked fine, then changed to £0 and "paid" before the actual rental date. Completed the rental and submitted a claim but it was rejected as "the item was cancelled" even though I have documentation to prove I completed the car hire. Very poor.

My claim in April 2014 did not track and so I submitted a claim quoting the reference on the email I received with my booking. This was rejected by Budget as it was an "Invalid Order Number". It was the only reference that they provided and I checked and it was correct. They obviously are only using Topcashback as free advertising and don't want to pay any commissions out. I see that this has happened to others as well. Will avoid them in the future.

Used Budget in Italy and the car hire was great. Unfortunatley my hire did not track on Topcashback and so submitted a missing claim. Despite providing the exact references that were given to me on my booking confirmation from Budget, Topcashback were unable to get any cashback for me. The excuse that Budget used was that the reference was "invalid"! It was their reference on the booking email! Won't be using them again if I am looking for cashback. I am sure there are better deals out there. You have been warned.

Budget do not appear to be honouring cashback claims that are submitted manually from my recent experience in March and April 2014. They are rejecting on the basis that the: Order reference is invalid. This has happened twice now - one with using the reservation number, the second with the correct rental agreement number. The actual rental of the Car Hire with Budget has been fine though - it just seems the cashback side is not quite working.

I wish I had read the all negative reviews before booking a car (twice) from Budget! Neither order have tracked. So far I have only submitted a claim from the first order - it was rejected ... order reference invalid! I used the booking number, but since submitting my claim Top CashBack have changed their claim form and now require the rental agreement number. I had this number confirmed by Budget from an email request (as I had thrown the agreement away after the hire) and Top CashBack kindly resubmitted my claim. Guess what ... rejected again by Budget for the same reason, order reference invalid, even though they had confirmed the correct number for me! I don't hold out much hope for my second car hire claim! Don't think I'll be using Budget again.

Very efficient, site easy to use, all round good service. Excellent rate of cashback, which would have amounted to quite a lot of money, but it hasn't tracked so awaiting the result of a claim :(

Very fast cashback. Faster than Hertz from payment to cashback.

It was a simple enough transaction, but when I went on site to collect car they very discretely sold me insurance I did not require.

I've used Budget several times before, and it was always a good experience. Depending on the location/timing, it can be one of the cheapest companies around, so I always check them before buying. Good company!
