The Kayak website promised that I would get a Compact SUV -- however when I showed up at Budget, the staff said they only saw a reservation for a 'car' and not an 'SUV' and there was no way they could give me an SUV at that rate. They then charged me $35 extra to get an SUV.Reviewed 2 Mar 2026

Althoguh at the time of pick up they told me to bring back the key to the station, when I did that at the drop off time at 7 i nthe morning the staff told me that I have to go back to the parking and drop the key in the keybox. This is super distressing just two hours before flightReviewed 2 Mar 2026

Very poor. I tried to save some money with a cheap rental from budget and ended up regretting it. arrived to the desk for car pickup and encountered a long line of customers with understaffed budget team and vehicles not available. Was told over 2 hour wait time for vehicle. I cancelled online because i could not wait 45+ minutes to get to the front of the line to cancel with the budget employee. I got a rental from hertz immediately, where i have presidents circle status, but i cost roughly an extra $100.. Then budget charged me for their rental and i have initiated a time consuming process to try to recoup my charges from budget.Reviewed 2 Mar 2026

Over 10 minute wait at JFK. Other rental agencies had a minimal wait. Agents giving paper copies instead of digital contracts like major rental companies. Drive away was good. Return at ALB was confusing with GPS taking me to back of their lot. Had to return in the airport terminal vs a dedicated return line.Reviewed 1 Mar 2026

Agent Romy at location V8Z was exceptionally helpful. He was patient enough to educate me on my first experience with a hybrid vehicle and again when I had to extend my rental. I needed a vehicle while waiting for a new engine in my own car--a very stressful situation. Romy made it much easier for me. Thank you. I work for a car repair shop; I'll be referring anyone who needs a rental to you.Reviewed 27 Feb 2026
