I reserved an economy car. When I got there for my scheduled pick up time and my options were a mini van or electric vehicle, or I can pay an extra $150 for a mustang or suv. I’m driving to pigeon forge, Gatlinburg and Ocoee campgrounds. How am I gunna figure out how long a charge last and try plugging it into a tree. I’ve never used one before and not about to get stranded in the middle of nowhere. Suggestion have a map of charging stations and a how to video if you’re going to give that option as well as a discount bc it’s a whole thing. I was not about pay extra due to your failure to secure the car I reserved. I took the big old minivan- great on gas and mileage (sarcasm) as my options were limited at that time of night and I just wanted to drive and get to my hotel to sleep.Reviewed 23 Apr 2026

Did not have the proper car class available for me upon arrival. I could choose from literally 3 cars…2 small EVs and a minivan. The car I ultimately chose ended up having a terrible smell and was not clean.Reviewed 23 Apr 2026

While I called Budget the day before pickup to make sure a car would be waiting since I was on a tight schedule, and was assured a car would be ready by 8am, when I got there not only was there no car but I was told there is no guarantee there would be a car at anytime that day. Nor were there cars at other lots in Cleveland. I had to wait three hours for a car by which time it was too late to get to the drop off in DC, my destination. I will now have to drop off the car next morning without the benefit of having my friend pick me up as I had arranged the night before, and instead have to take the metro and a 40 minute walk to get where I'm going. The reason I put value as the only high mark is because I was told I would receive a discount after the car was returned. We'll see if Budget actually keeps is word. Now I have a question: are these comments actually read and do they mean anything?Reviewed 23 Apr 2026

Four days after the hire ended I still don't have a comprehendible invoice for the hire. E-mails aren't being responded to. How hard is it for them to produce paperwork that can actually be understood.Reviewed 23 Apr 2026
