Overcharged and not given the vehicle reserved. Gave me lower class and smaller and overcharged me for it. Not given the promised refund even though I emailed and called them multiple times. Hounding me for review and keeping the refund hostage until I write a review. Well; here you go, Budget! This is the response you demanded in order to issue my refund.Reviewed 29 Mar 2026

Not satisfactory experience . ( pretty sure that this review will go into a void) Cars were overbooked. The online reservations did not match the actual vehicle inventory. I was in line for over an hour to be seen. I rented an intermediate SUV, but they only had large pickup trucks. I took the offer. The check- in staff was professional and friendly given the circumstances. They provided a fuel credit due to the inconvenience. The pickup was too big for my needs. Difficult to maneuver. Many of the features that should be available on a large vehicle were not equipped or programmed, especially the parking technology. My car lacked wrap- around cameras to assist parking, proximity warnings when close to objects, or back up warnings. The back- up camera was imprecise. I had no functional trunk. My drop-off experience was poor. It was Easy to drop off. One agent was friendly and helpful. The other public- facing agents were uncaring or rude. My agent barely spoke to me and didn't ask basic questions about returning the vehicle. Offered no assistance. I also had bad experience with staff in preferred member area. Five minutes after returning car, I realized that I had missing items. The friendly return agent directed me to the desk agent. The desk agent was openly dismissive and rude to me . Suggested that that my reason for checking the car was not important. She was dismissive and didn't want to offer help. This is not an exaggeration. This experience makes me less likely to rent a vehicle from this vendor at that location.Reviewed 29 Mar 2026

The experience with the budget employees was fine. The vehicle was filthy inside. I have used budget many times in the past and have never received a vehicle in this condition. We were very disappointed.Reviewed 29 Mar 2026

This was quite the nightmare to be honest. They did not have the reservation at all. Why did I even make the reservation through Kayak? How do I know if I can ever trust Kayak if the reservation I made does not exist? I had to pay 4X the amount to a different rental company. You can imagine how infuriating it can be to have to find a rental car agency at the very last minute, moments before needing to check out of the AirBnB, in a foreign country whose language is also foreign. This costed me hundreds of dollars and hours of stress. How do I avoid this in the future?Reviewed 29 Mar 2026
