Pros:The workers tried to help.Cons:Their rental desk in Seattle was closing at 1 AM, but I was not made aware of this during my rental, so I almost missed the opportunity to pick up my key. Once I had my car, I was unable to leave the parking lot since the barricade/gate was across and the power was somehow turned off to that portion of the exit. I sat in my car for nearly an hour while the staff and security worked to find a key or way to manually remove the barricade or find another way out of the rental car area. Eventually power came on and they were able to release me and my rental car at about 2 AM.Reviewed 17 Feb. 2021

Cons:I booked on Kayak and printed out my confirmation sheet with the total being $48.15 for one day rental. When I left the counter at Seattle the total was much higher without changing any part of the reservation. The new total was $95.26. I was in a hurry and didn't have my eye glasses to dispute it. After searching for my car which was under an AVIS sign (apparently you had to know they are all one company) which was frustrating I got in the car to find out the fuel tank was half full with gas. I stopped at the counter and the person reprinted my rental agreement indicating that and he told me to return the car with a half tank of gas. The next day I realized that I would be late returning the car so I stopped by the budget rental and the lady rebooked me for another day instead of extending this reservation. It was cheaper and she quoted me at $48 dollars. When I got the final bill on my statement the total was $197.93 almost double as I was told or my reservation has. I learned that Budget has hidden costs and not to assume that your original agreement is valid.Reviewed 13 Jan. 2017

Cons:Pickup and drop offf experience was terrible. Constant attempts to overcharge for the rental from saying the website didn’t calculate the right taxes to be changed a fueling surcharge at drop off even though I fueled the vehicle before return. Attendant didn’t look at the fuel gauge and questioned me about where I fueled but did refund the surcharge when requested. At pickup the Budget counter wasn’t even open (went through Avis) and the agent had to manually enter rental info because I wouldn’t accept paying $50 dollars more for the rental due to what the agent said was a website miscalculation of taxes. Vehicle was clean, comfortable, and ran trouble free.Reviewed 27 Aug. 2020

Interesting.Pros:Vehice had Sat Nav and 4wd, roomy as well as good on power and had a cleab exterior.Cons:Requested a small SUV. Was given a F150. Found damage in the truck and the agent at the gate where i was told to report any found grunted and huffed ect as he filled out the form. Tires were WAY overinflated at 60+ PSI and the truck pulled to the right. Also found the interior to be dirty from somebody spilling something like a pop inside. So it was in areas all over the center console. Found a letter from Budget saying that the vehicle had gone through a service the day before. But somehow missed the issues mentioned above.Reviewed 19 Jun. 2017
