I reserved a rental car but when I arrived, they said they had no cars and that I would be 5th in line. (This is at a one gate airport.) Had to immediately scramble to find alternative transportation somewhere else. Very disappointing.Reviewed 26 Feb 2026

Bad. Reserved the car online. Paid for an Uber to get there. They didn't have the car or any car apparently for us to rent. They wouldn't check any of the other locations for a car. The guy was no help. Then we had to pay for another Uber to take us back to our hotel. Wasted time and money.Reviewed 26 Feb 2026

We were given an electric vehicle instead of the gas one we booked. Apparently PSP was closed for two days and so Budget supplied this location with extra stock: all electric vehicles. We planned to travel with the rental and it was extremely inconvenient to be bound to the charging schedule of an electric vehicle. We drove for one hour and our charge was already under 50%. After charging the vehicle for about 20 minutes at a public parking charge station, we had gained only one extra mile. In the end we stopped at a different Budget location that were able to swap us with a gas vehicle. (Thank you to the Ontario International Airport staff). Please stop pushing electric vehicles in your rentals. They’re very inconvenient especially for folks who want to travel with their rental (which id guess is very common).Reviewed 26 Feb 2026

It must be specified online that airport locations do not take debit card payments. When one searches on the Internet it says it does and then they refute and refuse at the airport location. It made me waste a whole day despite me being diligentReviewed 25 Feb 2026

I still haven't received the final receipt for the rental. Getting that as a print out at the time of return would have been nice.Reviewed 25 Feb 2026

I rented a car from Budget. They did not pick us up from the airport on the shuttle bus as promised. They did not hold our rental car- it was given to someone else. There were no vehicles available and we had to spend $80 to Uber to our hotel and then rent a car the next day from Enterprise.Reviewed 24 Feb 2026
