There was a 2-hour line to pickup the car when we got to the airport. I had to cancel the reservation and book with Alamo (which, along with the 4 other car rental agencies, had a short line) to make our event on time. The Alamo agent told me that Budget does this every day, by offering low teaser rates without disclosing that you'll have to wait 2-hours+ to pick up the vehicle. That's really poor form on Budget's part.Reviewed 8 Sept 2025

God awful. The JFK budget is hell on earth. I clocked total pick up time at 3 hours and 1 minute. This was after a 10 hour flight from Rome. Then we got to drive 3 hours in the rain through NYC traffic. Avoid this place like the plague. The inefficiency of this place makes the DMV seem like a dream vacation. Employees were totally inept at their jobs. Sometimes only one would work at a time with a line out the door. Conversations at the window were taking forever. Cars were not ready. Some were unavailable. So so bad. Trenton Airport drop off was a complete 180. Parked the car. Have them my keys and left. He asked how my trip was. I asked him if he’d ever been to the JFK location. He cringed. He knew. Exceptionally bad service at Budget JFK.Reviewed 22 Aug 2025

The line was too long to wait for: I arrived around 2 and people had been waiting since 11am. I was in line for an hour and only two people were served, with a line wrapped around the office, through the garage, and almost to the street.Reviewed 11 Aug 2025
