Budget Of Milwaukee
Budget Truck Rental destroyed our Jeep's transmission ripoff

I rented a Budget Truck with a towing dolly to move from Milwaukee Wisconsin to Jacksonville Florida. The move went ok. Once I arrived in Jacksonville, I wanted to drop off the dolly and take the truck and Jeep to my new apartment to unload. The person at the Budget drop off site asked if I towed the Jeep all the way from Wisconin on the dolly. Of course, I had. He told me that was the wrong dolly for my vehicle. Was it ever.

Once the Jeep was off of the dolly, I discovered that the transmission was completely burned out. After having the Jeep towed to a dealer in the area, I was told that it needed a new tranmission and gear box. I filed a complaint with the claims department of Budget, but have been told by them that they are not liable even though they put the Jeep on the dolly and selected the equipment.

Some $4,000.00 plus later, the Jeep is repaired and I have lost a great deal of time and money because of budget. I have contacted an attorney in Wisconsin because Budget is responsible in spite of their denial.
