Cons:This was my first time renting a car from the airport, they were friendly and accommodating. I was super nervous, mostly because with the new COVID procedures. The only thing I wish I had done was do a little research about the whole process. I didn’t know I would just walk out to my car, I was terrified I was in the wrong car! (That was plainly marked, I just tend to doubt myself a lot) But everyone I dealt with was friendly and it really was a good experience!Reviewed 11 Aug. 2020

The car was dirty when I picked it up and smelledCons:The caress filthy when I picked it up with numerous big spots, mud spots, and filth. It had California license plates in a New Orleans airport pickup. I would think they would have washed it before the next person came in. The car also smelled so bad that when I got out of it my clothes smelled just like the car. If I did not rent the car because of a emergency situation, I would have asked for a full refund before I left. I will not be using budget again. It's definitely worth a few more dollars to go with another company that will give me a clean, fresh car when I'm renting.Reviewed 1 Sep. 2016

Pros:The drop off was really easy. We were supposed to get a mini van and they just gave it away to someone else and tried to say the Nissan Pathfinder was com-probable to the mini van.Cons:Having the mini van we requested or upgrading us for your mistake, not downgrading us.Reviewed 1 Jul. 2020

Pros:The rental counter staff was friendly but the customer service and wishy information was poor.Cons:Better understanding of what can be given to people. Being 23 I understand I have to pay a fee to rent a car. Fully understanding and confirming I can get the rental I reserved only to be rejected at the counter with no other type of rental and way to my hotel room in an unknown due to my age was honestly the worst experience I could have. Budget needs to find a way for them to step in and get concrete facts of what can and cannot be offered at EACH rental counter. Being told that each rental counter has its own rules is good but please tell me that before I get there to pick the rental up so I understand how to get somewhere.Reviewed 15 Mar. 2021

Pros:The man running the desk was very slow. We stood in line for 2 hours. Each customer took about 20 minutes to process. Then they were out of cars, so we ended up with a 12 passenger van for the two of us. Not cool.Cons:Reservations shouldn't be confirmed if there are not enough cars. Once it's confirmed, customers should get what they reserved. There is no reason for the process to take so long. Over at the Alamo counter, people were zipping through.Reviewed 30 Mar. 2021

This will be the last time I use this companyReviewed 3 May 2021

Best deal for getting to the Northshore from the aPros:Friend who was going to pick us had a work commitment and left us with no other options. A taci was $65 for 2, and a rental car was $33. It was a no brainer, and that was for a one way rental too.Reviewed 20 Dec. 2015
