The experience was brutal, extremely disorganized, and disrespectful to both customers and employees. I arrived early for my pickup and found a line so long that it extended outside the office . There were only two employees working, and the process was very slow. Customers were being yelled at , and the manager was outside cleaning cars instead of helping move the line. The temperature was around -25°C with the wind chill. I waited in line for 2 hours and didn’t even reach the middle of the line. My feet were so cold that I was no longer able to stand, and I had to leave without a car . There was no proper system in place , no communication, and no concern for customer safety given the extreme weather. I also tried to contact customer service about this situation and was unable to get any help. Because of that, I have opened a dispute with American Express regarding this booking. I have photos documenting the line, the conditions, and the situation at the rental office, and I’m happy to provide them upon request.Reviewed 12 Feb 2026

The pickup took nearly two hours, and after waiting, I got to the front of the line. An employee yelled at me and made me go to the back because my fastbreak number was improperly applied to my account. Once I got to the front again, I was told they were out of the kind of car I paid for and given a dirty minivan. When I went to return the car, nobody was anywhere to be found. So I parked the car in the return zone and left for my flight. Then I found out that nearly three days later budget had not reported my car return, and I had to spend another several hours in a labyrinthine nightmare of customer service I finally got someone to agree they would try and find it. My rental was not closed our until 4 days later and now I need to go through the same process to fight improper “late” return charges. You could not design a worse customer service experience, spend the extra money and rent from an agency. Never rent from budget!Reviewed 4 Dec 2025

Over 50 people in line, hour and a half wait to pick up car. Does not have nearly enough staff to handle volume. Some renters returned back because the tanks were not full. Very frustrating experience.Reviewed 20 June 2025

There was no clear information. I was charged something pretty different from what I reserved. The car nearly broke down. The car was almost empty when I left and I had to ask the person checking me out about it. I am never renting from budget and/or this location ever again.Reviewed 3 Dec 2024
