The man who I checked out with at the counter urged me to purchase the gas through them and insisted my route would take a full tank, which is absolutely did not. I only had a 3 hour drive total but the man insisted he does the drive all the time. He also insisted I have them take care of the tolls and said it would be cheaper through them. He said that there would be 6 tolls round trip, but the toll signs said “fees waved” the whole time, and also the most I saw was $1.25. I felt the man rushed me and even I kept asking for clarity, he kept insisting that buying through them was going to save me money. I definitely felt he was only a salesman and not a customer service employee. I felt disappointed the whole trip that I even trusted him and next time I will never pay a car rental place to take care of anything extra for me.Reviewed 19 Aug 2025

I rented the car for a certain amount and they picked an electric car but I didn’t rent an electric car so the price went up cause they gave me a gasser. Also I was in line for over 40 minutes just to get my reservation and then 20 more minutes in line just to get my car.Reviewed 30 July 2025

Terrible. Extremely long line at rental counter. There was an error in booking my reservation and they would only give me a walk-in rate which was much higher. The vehicle assigned was not on the lot and after confusion, the lot agent placed me in a different car. I was not given or emailed any paperwork and was alarmed by my credit card statement days after returning the car that I was charge about $200 more than the agent told me on checkout. I had to call customer service (again terrible experience) and learned that I was charged to fill up the tank and for insurance. Of note, I filled up the tank right before returning the car, and had explicitly told the rental agent on checkout that I declined the insurance. I had to be extremely assertive and go through their various antics before the customer service agent ultimately agreed to refund me for the gas and insurance add ons (I had to send proof of gas purchase which I did). Overall the company’s actions were extremely shady, adversarial, and disorganized. I will not rent from them again, even if they are the cheapest option. This experience has made them lose all my future business.Reviewed 25 July 2025

The line to pickup car was over an hour. The battery in the key fob for the car was almost dead. Car was dirty. Drop off took very long. Drop off bus was slow. Still better than Fox.Reviewed 23 June 2025

Shuttle took a long time to show up. The worse part is that the rental that online was $161, ended up $803 . Stay away from Budget. That low price is just a click baitReviewed 14 June 2025

The staff at the retail counter were so wonderful. We had had a horrible travel experience and it was midnight and we were stranded in Denver for 2 nights thanks to United’s inability to manage their business. We decided to drive from Denver to Boise instead is waiting 2 days to catch our flight…and Budget came to the rescue. This was the first thing that went right all day and I was so relieved, I started crying. Thanks to the team there, we were on our way with no more hassle!Reviewed 12 May 2025
