Pre-booked our vehicle weeks ago to move my child home from college. Flew across the country only to find out that they had no vehicle for us. Had to scramble to find another company that would help us…on Memorial Day weekend. Shout out to Enterprise/Alamo. I WILL NEVER USE KAYAK OR BUDGET EVER AGAIN.Reviewed 23 May 2026

Attendant turned us away stating they don’t have any cars. She didn’t care and told us go somewhere elseReviewed 23 May 2026

It's a scam. They force you to buy insurance with them even though you have insurance. They come up with different excuses, the law, policy, .. even though it's not mentioned anywhere. Again, they don't accept insurance from third party. It's very disappointing dealing with them.Reviewed 23 May 2026

I had a ten hr delay thanks to United Airlines. It was a rough day but getting my rental checked out at 10:00 PM was the easiest thing I dealt with all day. The gentleman at the counter was pleasant and made the whole thing simple. Thank you! The Jeep was fun to drive :)Reviewed 22 May 2026

We waited for over an hour and a half in line and still hadn't even made it to the counter. People who did make it, had to wait almost an hour for their car to be be available. We ended up taking an Uber to our event. Otherwise we would have missed it. Definitely do not recommend that office.Reviewed 22 May 2026

Got a hybrid EV Camry and it was great on the gas! Since gas prices at the pump are so out of control!Reviewed 22 May 2026

They did not have a car for me when I got to the airport. My flight was changed to a 10 pm arrival instead of 1200. I called Budget at midway and was assured I’d have a car. None was arrived when I arrived and their was no reassurance I would get one .Reviewed 22 May 2026

No car available at time of rental. Budget stated that they didn’t have time to get a car from time of booking the day before. Had to come back at the end of the day to pick it up instead of 1pm when it was bookedReviewed 22 May 2026

There were 4 of us and we had a lot of luggage, too much for the mid sized suv we booked, fortunately the Budget agent was able to upgrade us to a slightly larger vehicle.Reviewed 22 May 2026
