Drop off was straightforward. Pickup was another story. They seemed either short-staffed or some agents were not as efficient. My agent was not very friendly. I also filled out information ahead of picking up my rental but it didn't feel like it helped expedite the process. It was a long wait for everybody in line.Reviewed 24 Apr 2026

None of the 3rd parties involved including the main party; Budget were able to assist me in any way, shape, or fashion. Everyone points their finger to the other party when it comes to making changes to the car rental. There is no accountability.Reviewed 22 Apr 2026

The lied me. The agent sold me an upgrade that I didn't want. He didn't tell me anything about the upgrade, he just said that there was an error that would be solved when I return the car. Surprise: there wasn't any error and they regret to return the money because I signed the contract (that wasn't well explained). It's a scam. Don't rent a car here or in avis.Reviewed 20 Oct 2022
