S
10.0 Wonderful
Had to wait too long to get a vehicle after checking in
E
6.0 Okay
The supplier choice is apparently an EV even though I didn’t select the EV option. They require you to bring the car back charged. For a one day rental to the airport, that is not realistic. I was also charged for gas, which I had stopped near the airport and filled up. I eventually got a credit but the whole thing was a hassle and didn’t leave me feeling good about renting from Budget in the future.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Pick up process was ridiculous. I'm not exaggerating--standing outside (not in any type of building or cover) for 56 minutes while they tried to figure out rentals for myself and 7 other customers. Ended up just giving me a size up, was not cleaned well, didn't have record of what fuel level was at, and staff spoke all of 3 words to me. I saw the poor reviews at this location and figured, how bad can it be? Yes I got my vehicle and it worked fine, but the entire pick up and drop off experience was horrible and I do not plan to rent from this brand at this airport again.

10.0 Wonderful
Very profesional and good cars.For sure will rent again from them, when we get back in Paris.
R
2.0 Poor
Had a reservation to pick up at 2pm. Plane arrived at 4pm and rental still was not ready. Had to wait an hour before it was ready for us
R
8.0 Very Good
Pick up was excellent, but returning/drop off was confusing and poor. if you have hybrid, EV the battery should be charged so we’re not using gas!!!
A
6.0 Okay
They don’t even have a car’s they offer on the website… old junk cars
A
2.0 Poor
No airport office .. communication with people was not great .. the experience stressed me out and I don’t think I will rent from them again .. car was not great either
A
2.0 Poor
No cars were available and there was a really long line waiting with only one teller.
A
6.0 Okay
The staff were friendly, but their policy for charges is poor in comparison to other companies. They automatically charge you for a full tank of gas before you even return it(which is credited back to you upon return of full tank)and if you go over your return time by even an hour they charge you for it. Poor customer service in my opinion. I will NOT rent with Budget again and I rent a vehicle every 2 weeks. I'd rather pay a bit more with Enterprise and get exceptional customer service.
