They stated the tank was full.. but was not.. they reasoned with "it depends on the last person usage and indicated different amount when full?!Reviewed 27 July 2026

I was not able to get the car I reserved because an additional $3,000 was going to be held on my card on top of the $1,300 that the car rental and insurance (which I was forced to pay) was going to cost. It was the worst car rental experience I’ve ever had and I will only rent from Sixt and Turo moving forward. They are the only companies that always provide a great rental experience and tell you everything up front so you know what to expect when renting the vehicle.Reviewed 27 July 2026

Easy to pick up and drop off. My only concern was the front wiper blades were useless as the old rubber had gone hard and the blades just smeared all the dirt and dust all over the screen when I tried to clean the window which wasn't very safe as the visibility was then awful.Reviewed 26 July 2026

The pickup process was chaotic. It was written on my booking confirmation (after I completed pre-check in paperwork online) that I would go to the Fastbreak counter to get my car - this was not correct and I almost had to go back to the other check in counter that had a very long line. There was also a quarter tank of gas in the car and I had along trip ahead of me that night so having to stop for gas wasn’t ideal.Reviewed 25 July 2026

Received a Jeep Wrangler that had a large spot of bird poop on the passenger seat, rotting food in the center console, sand everywhere, sunscreen on the windshield and two non functional seatbelts in the back (we have 2 kids, so those seats were used). We picked up the car late at night and in the dark, so we didn’t notice much of this till the next day. Gina, the woman at Budget’s local office, gave us a hard time about having not noticed when we picked up the car, told us we could have it cleaned and they’d pay up to a certain amount (which is not what anyone wants to spend their vacation time doing) or drive it 1.5hrs back to the airport location and swap it, possibly, for another Jeep if one was available. This car had close to 50K miles on, was beaten up, terrible suspension, filthy and should not be in the fleet let alone rented out. By far the worst rental experience we’ve ever had, and we rent a lot! Would never go back here and would never recommend this location to anyone.Reviewed 25 July 2026

Terrible , you book online and you think your getting the vehicle for €15 a day, reality it’s more like €70 ,they add on these extra costs which u thought we’re in the online quote, scam ,false advertising, rip offReviewed 25 July 2026

I pre-paid my car rental with Budget, and they charged my card $7,457.87 upon return. I could not get them to reverse the charge after multiple calls. The agent at the return counter called it erroneous after I exhausted all other customer service lines, and said an extra digit had been added. I still did not get the amount credited back and ended up disputing the transaction with my credit card issuer. The 90 minute wait in line at pick-up with only 2 people in front of me was also completely unacceptable, as the agent was not trained or capable to do his job. Never again.Reviewed 24 July 2026
