People working at the counter were extremely rude and it took 2+ hours to wait in line before I made it to get my reservation. Then they said my car wasn't available and up charged me to get a car now, despite arriving shortly after my booking time and providing my flight information. Car was dirty.Reviewed 9 Nov 2026

The customer service agent at pickup was really nice and very professional. I didn't get her name. Eugene the man at drop off was great, very friendly and was super cool! I unfortunately was going to see an ill friend and Eugene made my trip pleasant with friendly demeanor and welcome greeting.Reviewed 9 Nov 2026

The staff was very friendly and helpful when we picked up and dropped off the car. The car was clean and worked like a charm. We got good gas mileage. It was extremely comfortable. My husband was so impressed by the car. He actually looked it up as we never drove a jeep SUV before. Smooth ride, best car we’ve ever rented.Reviewed 9 Nov 2026

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Unexplained Charges and Poor Customer Service I had a very disappointing experience with Budget Rent a Car at Nuremberg Airport. After returning the rental car, Budget not only failed to refund my security deposit, but also charged me an additional $695.64 without providing any clear explanation. I immediately contacted customer service by email to request an explanation and a detailed breakdown of the charges. However, I have received absolutely no response. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that Budget has not provided any itemized statement showing what these charges are for. Customers deserve transparency and should not be charged additional amounts without a clear explanation. This is completely unacceptable and reflects very poor customer service and a lack of accountability. I strongly urge Budget to review this matter, provide a full breakdown of all charges, and issue a refund for any unauthorized or unjustified fees. I would not recommend Budget Rent a Car based on this experience.Reviewed 8 Nov 2026

Lousy! We didn't have a car once we got there, even though we had confirmation. We had to go to a different car rental & pay almost twice as much! Also,( l think it must've been a third party?) we were charged for the rental that we never got! We're STILL fighting to get our money back out of that.Reviewed 8 Nov 2026

Rating: 3/10 The car itself was clean, well-maintained, and in excellent condition. I have no complaints about the vehicle. However, the overall rental experience was very disappointing. First, I had to wait in line for 40 minutes just to pick up the car. The rental price was €90, plus a deposit. Despite clearly stating that I did not want insurance, the manager misled me into believing that the insurance was mandatory basic coverage that could not be declined and would be refunded when I returned the car. When returning the vehicle, I was not charged for refuelling, as expected. However, the insurance fee of €140 for just two days was not refunded. Overall, it was extremely frustrating to end up paying €230 for a two-day rental instead of the advertised €90. The car was fine, but the misleading sales tactics and unexpected extra charges completely ruined the experience. I will most likely not use this service again.Reviewed 7 Nov 2026

Worst experience I've had. At pickup they arrived late and didn't even apologize, they charged us twice for the rental plus a deposit which they haven't fixed, meaning they haven't returned any of the money, at dropoff, the office was closed because a local holiday, they didn't answer the phone nor provided instructions on where to leave the car. I ended up calling a US phone from Spain and they told me to leave the car parked on the street. After that, they charged us an extra 750€ without any justification or notice. We've already contacted them and haven't replied in 4 days... On Monday we have a meeting with a layer to take this case. Unbelievable stuff from all parties involved including Kayak which is the initial provider...Reviewed 6 Nov 2026

Everything seemed great at first. Was easily able to figure it out and order my rental on line. Then I got a call and I couldn’t get the vehicle I picked, which was fine. I was then given a smaller vehicular. I was told I would be charged less for the smaller vehicular. I’m not sure how. I was quoted between $500-$600. And before leaving budget with my rental I had paid double. Over $1000.00 when I was quoted less. They didn’t give me the discount, and argued about unlimited KMS as promised in my booking on KAYAK. After living in Ontario all my life, nursing over 20 years and lived in the Barrie, Orillia area. I recently moved out of province and returned as it was a year since my father’s passing. This added stress should never been added. I will never rent from you guys again and spread the news to my family, friends and nursing colleagues.Reviewed 5 Nov 2026
