It was a terrible experience! The agent upgraded my reservation to the next level up, but the vehicle was already taken when I went to pick i at up! I went back to the desk and got another vehicle which was terrible! It was a death trap! The blinkers and blind spots did not work when I got on the road. They would glitch and not stay on. There was vibration across the SUV when doing 65 mph. The vehicle was a silver Jeep Cherokee. To top it all off, I had cash with me of over $200 which I forgot in the vehicle that was never refunded and supposedly never found. This is the worst experience I have ever hard, and a costly one!Reviewed 25 Apr 2026

Really liked the SUV I received. Price ended up a little higher than expected, though. Was able to get most of the overcharge fixed when dropping the car off.Reviewed 22 Apr 2026

Waited in line over an hour. Rep misleadingly told use extra charges listed (not what we prepaid), where on the form because system puts there just as optional in case, but our bill would be the prepaid amount. Turned out not optional and we were charged. I have typically enjoyed Budget rental experiences, but the late night rental experience at Orlando airport was terrible - huge wait and I should have not trusted the lone reps strange sounding explanation on agreement - but we didn't want to make the others in line wait even longer - so mistakenly shrugged and accepted the situation. Lessoned learned.Reviewed 15 Apr 2026

Budget and Avis (same company) rented the same car out of the same spot to two different people. I was the one that had to go all the way back to the airport terminal to get it sorted out. They got me a different car, which only had 3/4 tank of gas when I started it. All these problems were resolved by a few friendly customer service personnel, but all of this was avoidable with some conscientious workers and appropriately integrated systems.Reviewed 2 Mar 2026
