The counter attendant was not friendly. The attendant did not seem to be happy to work that day. The car that was picked up had not been washed or vacuumed. The car was comfortable and drove well.Reviewed 22 Feb 2026

The car reserved through Kayak was advertised as a mid-size SUV. I specifically paid extra to have a larger vehicle since I had my spouse and kids with me. Only at pickup did we find out that the rental car reserved was not a mid-size SUV, but an economy. The car they tried to provide wouldn't even fit my kid's car seats and our luggage. Budget blamed the the third party rental agency (QEEQ). The third party rental agency blamed Kayak. Kayak wouldn't answer any calls to customer service. All parties refused to provide any assistance and left my family stranded at the airport with a too-small car. When seeking help everyone just recommended paying more money in order to get a vehicle that matched the size originally advertised. Overall it was a very poor experience with Budget and Kayak. I will not be renting cars through Kayak in the future because they significantly misrepresent their vehicle sizes.Reviewed 12 Jan 2026

Worst experience of my life while renting a car. The staff at the counter was rude and misleading about insurance information. We had such a bad experience that we ended up cancelling the reservervation and charged a penalty as they cancelled the booking an hour later than the pick up time. I don’t recommend this companyReviewed 3 Jan 2026

Very understaffed. They gave me a car, then wouldn’t let me leave because it was in someone else’s name. They had 1 person working the desk outside and he had to go get cars for people. It was very long and disorganized.Reviewed 20 Dec 2025

No one joined me to review its condition at the pickup. It had damage all over the exterior. The drop off parking was not indicated by any signage. Very hard to find. The key deposit box was also not indicated by signage. No one available by phone at 9:00 pm. No chat function at 9:00 pm. No directions to drop off parking on website.Reviewed 25 Nov 2025

There was only 1 agent at the desk and he was representing 3 to 4 different brands. It’s a painfully long line. Why can’t I walk up to my car like National ? If you rent from Budget, you will be late to your next appointment.Reviewed 23 Oct 2025
