The gas amount I was told was in the car at pickup was not correct. I had to return the car with more gas than was in it when I picked it up.Reviewed 4 Apr 2024

What's the point selecting a car category if every time I get told "this is what we have, take it or leave it"? You've got me by the short and curlys, because I'm not exactly about to switch to taking the bus, am I? The check in was slap dash. The car looked a bit rough. I had to go find someone to record the damage to it so as to not risk being told I'd caused it. Car rental isn't some new business. We've had decades of doing this, so why did I have to advocate so hard for myself? The customer experience was completely lacking. Probably because consolidation has resulted in so few companies and therefore not much competition.Reviewed 1 Mar 2024

We were given the oldest most beat up van on the lot even though newer better looking ones were available. The van was dirty and had trash inside. The van needed an alignment. Every time you press the brakes the van would shake terribly.Reviewed 22 Jan 2024

Top tips for hiring a car from Budget at Houston Hobby Airport

  • One o the primary reasons to book car rentals at Houston Hobby Airport is its convenience.  Car rentals are far more convenient than public transport.  This is because they offer door-to-door transport, unlike public transport, which leaves you at a designated station.  You won’t have to worry about commuting from the arrival station to the airport.  If you book Budget car rentals at Houston Hobby Airport, you get the freedom to explore the city’s top attractions like Houston Zoo, Space Center Houston, and Museum of Fine Arts Houston.  When renting Houston Hobby Airport Budget car rentals, you explore the city in style and comfort.
