I arrived at PHX to a sea of people waiting in line for a car . With only 2 agents working and at least 100 customers waiting. I cancelled and rebooked with your competitors.Reviewed 5 Nov 2025

The car was fine as was drop off. We were in line an hour for pickup, though, which gave an overall poor rating.Reviewed 4 Nov 2025

friendly agent, good price; only minor complaint was exit process from rental car center; lanes were poorly labeled and very backed up; I don't think most people realized that they could use the QR-code rapid exit lane; would be helpful to explain this to people so that they can get out quickly!Reviewed 3 Nov 2025

Wait over 1 hr to pickup car, and was forced to pay extra to get a non electric car when I hadn’t reserved an electric car.Reviewed 16 Oct 2025

The reserved vehicle was not available, and there was no time estimate given for it to be available. They claimed they upgraded me, but it felt like a downgrade. The car was very dirty and had an odor inside, but because I was already running late, I didn’t go back in to swap out the vehicle. I had originally reserved a fully electric Tesla, and ended up being given a Toyota PriusReviewed 23 May 2025

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
