Good satellite pick up location. Airport only option for drop off. There used to be a satellite drop off place closer to our destination, inconvenient.Reviewed 15 Apr 2026

Waited in line over an hour. Rep misleadingly told use extra charges listed (not what we prepaid), where on the form because system puts there just as optional in case, but our bill would be the prepaid amount. Turned out not optional and we were charged. I have typically enjoyed Budget rental experiences, but the late night rental experience at Orlando airport was terrible - huge wait and I should have not trusted the lone reps strange sounding explanation on agreement - but we didn't want to make the others in line wait even longer - so mistakenly shrugged and accepted the situation. Lessoned learned.Reviewed 15 Apr 2026

The vehicle was filthy inside and out when I picked it up. Plus it had dents/exterior damage. No personnel to do an inspection at time of pickup. Counter agent was terse. Worst car rental experience I have ever had to date.Reviewed 15 Apr 2026

The counter person was wonderful. I waited 11/2 hours in line to get to the counter person. They did not have my car. It took her another 30 minutes to find a car for me! I did make a reservation . Again, the counter person, wonderful, but there was something wrong going on! Yes, I finally got a car. It was clean and drove well. I suppose, “things happen”.Reviewed 15 Apr 2026
