Budget gave me the wrong vehicle 3 different times. Each time I walked all the way with my luggage only to find out the vehicle was not the vehicle I had been assigned. Other cars were parked in the spot my sedan should have been. The worst car rental ever.Reviewed 23 Apr 2025

Gave me a great car but not very clear on the pick up process for a first timer. Also had some minor damage on the car that I noticed at pick up that had me a little concerned. Made sure the attendant saw it before leaving the lot.Reviewed 5 Mar 2025

Vehicle vehicle is great. I initially booked a discounted minivan for $270. They suggested an upgrade at slightly more cost at 59 dollars a day. For some reason eventual cost was 700+ dollars total for three days.Reviewed 2 Mar 2025

Pick up was absolutely terrible. Almost a two hour wait. Ended up renting after midnight. Asked about discount for not having the car three full days and was told it would be taken off but it wasn’t. The van smelled funny and had multiples scuffs/dents and had a rattling sound.Reviewed 20 Jan 2025

Pick up was efficient , car was great. Lot easy to navigate. The drop off went smoothly they only issue was getting my emailed receipt, this has been a problem several times when I have rented from budget. , I have had to call and they always say they don’t have my email address which is a lie since they send me emails ALL THE TIME. And the staff can’t answer why this keeps happening and can’t transfer me to anyone who can tell my why it happening because apparently I’m the only one who has this problem (I asked them that specifically)Reviewed 20 May 2024
