Picking up the rental car went smoothly. I had a tire blow out and then I was given replacement car that was supposed to be 4-6 hours before it arrived. Then I sat on the road side for over 10 hours before the car was delivered! This didn’t make me happy. I was supposed to be getting a coupon for a rental car in the future. The coupon never arrived! Not having any luck being a budget customer! 😏😒Reviewed 6 Jan 2026

I reserved an automatic SUV. I received a manual compact. When I complained they said that’s all we have. I had no other options so I took it. And paid the same rate.Reviewed 6 Jan 2026

They didn’t have my reservation when I arrived. I ended up spending 6x’s as much on a rental at the airport. This was absolutely the worst experience with a car rental. I should have used a different site that Kayak.Reviewed 6 Jan 2026

We were provided what should have been a nice SUV, but once we spent a little time behind the wheel, it was apparent that the truck had serious transmission slipping. Every gear change felt like the whole engine might fall out of the vehicle. Our pickup was Christmas Eve, so we returned the truck on Christmas Day and we were told there were no other large vehicles available. We were then told we couldn't get a refund at the counter and that we would need to call the main number. We did that and filed a case and requested a refund and we were only given back half of our fee. I filed another case and asked for the rest of the money and haven't gotten a response after 5 days. I'll keep trying.Reviewed 5 Jan 2026

When I rented the car at like 2 am, I needed a large SUV to transport 6 teenagers across the state to a dance competition. Unbeknownst to my when I started to drive away the check engine light went on. I called budget they told me that if I didn’t feel safe that I couldn’t return it. Well now I was really late. They said the car should be fine and so I went on. The next today the car was driving like it was off alignment. I didn’t have time to switch cars nor drive all the way 1.25 hrs away to the nearest budget to get. A new rental. They didn’t offer any compensation except that I could switch the car out, which I had to pay for the gas there to switch it out and it took me over 4 hours with driving to get there switch it out and they made me fill up the tank again for my gas to get back to my location. I just think it is completely unprofessional to not offer road side assistance and specially when they knew that I had 6 teenagers that I was transporting and responsible for.Reviewed 5 Jan 2026
