No one went over the car at pick up not drop off. Car had features that weren’t working.Reviewed 8 July 2026

The car's exterior was really dirty. So much so that I chose to run it through a car wash during our rental time just to clean it up. The interior was clean. I believe the exterior was dirty because the rental location at the airport doesn't have a cleaning facility or location to wash returned vehicles, so not really the staff's fault. But maybe they could get a mobile cleaning service or something? Otherwise, the rental was good and I'm happy.Reviewed 7 July 2026

I ordered this booking 6 months ago, and I totally forgot about it. When I tried to find the booking, I couldn't find it, and had to make reservation with another source. It would be great if user would receive email notifications at least 2 weeks before reservations (and preferably 1-day prior and same day)Reviewed 6 July 2026

After completing my order on Kayak, I went to the enterprise location and was told there were no cars available although I was sent confirmation. I was not given any other options and I didn’t have time to seek a car anywhere else. Travel plans were ruined, I’m disappointed and dissatisfied with enterprise and kayak as my order was confirmed with no information that there may be an issue. I will be leaving a review as I was not given any other options for recourse.Reviewed 6 July 2026

We waited 2.5 hours in line to pick up our car. Terribly disorganized. I never received any email confirmation or receipt from Budget.Reviewed 6 July 2026

It was pretty scuffed up and also really stinky, especially when AC was on. Also not completely clean on the inside.Reviewed 6 July 2026

Everything about my experience felt average, but the most frustrating part about it was the USB cable connection for the front seat. It is far too sensitive and disconnects easily. It is likely a faulty or damaged port. The pickup while on cruise control is unsafely slow.Reviewed 6 July 2026

They charged more when we got there to take the car, even if the reservation was prepaid. They charged us, 400 euros for scratches on 2 wheel caps. We feel they abuse from us.Reviewed 5 July 2026
