At pick up. The computer showed an old reservation that had been later modified so my latest email on the changes did not match the agents info. Led to delaysReviewed 3 Apr 2026

We waited in line for over 90 minutes to get the car. Staff (2 women doing their best) said there were no cars ready. How is this even possible when there are reservations? There were at least 40 people in line. A few jumped ship @ went to other car rental companies who had no lines. It was all frustrating. Once we did get our car, there appears to be several cars ready.Reviewed 3 Apr 2026

Great staff and good cost. The Jeep was perfect for northern lower Michigan. The car had two big scratches on the passenger side but was clean and full of gas. The check-in personnel were fast and easy also.Reviewed 3 Apr 2026

When we got to the Budget desk to get the vehicle we had reserved, there was a long line of others also waiting to get their vehicles. We were informed that they did not have the vehicles there, but had to wait for vehicles to be returned and cleaned. All of this happened at 11pm! After 2 hours of waiting to get to the desk, we were given a vehicle and told it would be in a specific spot. When we got into the lot, there was no car in the spot. We asked the desk down there and they were more helpful, but said they were not sure why they told us there was a vehicle. They were able to bring a vehicle straight from the cleaners after trying to give us an expired car seat. The car was not fully cleaned and the overhead light was hanging from the ceiling along with other side panels. We will NEVER rent from Budget again.Reviewed 2 Apr 2026

I liked that i could pick up from pdx. The issues were that the way to pick up from pdx was not clear and was very confusing. No clearly marked entry until you park in the parking structure and then ask someone where to go. Also we were not told why we were charged so much in the end and there was no receipt explaining the extra charges.Reviewed 2 Apr 2026

The car is too small for me. I had to crawl in and out of the drivers seat.Reviewed 2 Apr 2026

First of all, my dates were changed. When I went to the Kayak website to rent a car, the dates were different and I didn’t notice. When my husband picked up the car, he didn’t receive the one he reserved and ended up paying $300 more due to the date error. I will never use Kayak again. It was my first time using it, but having the dates changed, paying significantly more, and receiving a different car was not the experience we expected.Reviewed 2 Apr 2026

The clerk was very friendly and knew her business . Very busy but handled everything in a very professional way..all your people made our rental a positive experience I have rented many times from your company and never had a problem keep up the good work. The fast pass system is a great addition . Hank FahningReviewed 2 Apr 2026

There wait to pickup the car on a Thursday afternoon in Maui was lengthy. There were only 3 agents working and a line of 20 plus guests. It took well over an hour and we had paid for and reserved the car weeks earlier. That’s very poor customer service. The price I paid was the only thing that saved it for me-it was more than 1/2 off thru Kayak then directly thru Budget, even with Costco or AAA discounts.Reviewed 2 Apr 2026
