When booking the reservation, the rep on the phone said that the airport location had both covered bed and non covered bed pickup trucks. I made sure the rep put the notation on the booking that I needed a covered pickup truck. The budget employee at the counter said that none of their pickup trucks were covered. I had to pay extra for an SUV due to the misinformation. Not thrilled with the overall process.Reviewed 26 Aug 2024

Blew a tire in a grand wangoneer no spare so sat for three hours on the highway til i paid a guy for a used tire. took another day to get a replacement car. who rents a truck with no spare ? Never rent from them plus the cars were dirty to boot. I think they are going chapter 11Reviewed 24 Jul 2024

Budget was under resourced for the amount of reservations they accepted. We waited in line for 30 minutes to check in, then waited another 30 minutes to recieve a car because they had no inventory. I finally accepted a full size Dodge Ram quad cab as my rental car to drive my family to the beach. It was not ideal. I didn't want to wait any longer for my actual rental to be available. They simply oversold their supply. Not a great business strategy. I feel bad for the front line workers that had to deal with that many unhappy vacationers. We were all just sitting around baggage claim staring at each other, waiting for our name to be called in the "Do I Get A Car?" lottery.Reviewed 11 Jun 2024

They refused to rent us a car, despite literally confirming by calling Budget earlier in the day, simply because we "made the reservation the same day of the pick up." They had keys for us. Nobody in line behind us. Has taken all our info. But saw it was same day reservation and refused. We walked over the enterprise and rented with them on the spot no issues for the same price. Never use Budget.Reviewed 9 Jun 2024
