Since I was under the impression that car rentals at airports didn’t charge a deposit I didn’t have enough to cover it and left without the carReviewed 2 Aug 2025

The staff was fine. It was very busy and They had no cars I had to wait n line for an hour to get my car then when I got to counter. They gave me an economy car that was super smal. I had paid and rented a premium car. She said it would be another 45 minutes for the car I paid for. I feel like I wasted money and could have rented from another company that was actually cheaper and no wait.Reviewed 6 May 2025

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.Reviewed 29 Apr 2025

Long line, and the wait was over an hour. They also scramble to get me a mini van. They were offering me another vehicle. I reserved the mini van weeks in advance.Reviewed 24 Mar 2025

everything was great, except for pick up. the service desk informed me that because my reservation was made for 2pm pick up time and I arrived at 110pm, the car was in the back of the lot and was not ready. I felt lucky to get the car at 139pm but it came only after being persistent. I felt like they were doing me a favor rather than providing great customer service. and the car had not been washed in daysReviewed 21 Apr 2024
