Complaint Review: Budget Rental Car

I rented a car from Budget rental car in September.  I had only been on the road for about 30 mins. and the tire blew.  My boyfriend put the spare on and the spare was a donut.  We were travelling about 300 miles outside of NC. 

I called Budget they tried to get me to switch the car out, but the places were either closed or they didnt have another car.  My only other option was to purchae a tire.  I did.  OMG i had to spend over 200 for one tire for a car I was only driving for a weekend. 

It has been 5 weeks and still no refund.  I was promised they were going to REFUND me my money back.  I DONT HAVE MY REFUND.  I will never rent from BUDGET again.  Who has money to give a huge corporation for a tire your travelling on for a weekend.  I KNOW I dont.
