10.0 Wonderful
Car was a little dirty upon pickup. Mixup with locations so make address visibility a little better. And didn't have the vehicle I wanted and the upgrade was nice except for higher gas price
E
6.0 Okay
The directions to pickup and drop off the car were confusing and the signage in the garage was poor. The check in process was slow, though I wisely arrived very early and didn't have to wait long. There were no complications with the reservation itself, though, and I got my car without too much trouble.
A
2.0 Poor
The employees were extremely rude and unhelpful. I would never rent a car from the airport again.
D
2.0 Poor
They are scammers. Tried to add 2 hours to a one day reserved rental. I literally had to back away from the scammers desk and make a second booking to avoid that scam by the Ren guy. Then when returning vehicle they tried to scam me for $144 in fuel charges when the car was returned full. I had to make a return trip to the airport in order to get that rectified. Bottom line Budget should definitely be a NO GO and Kayak shouldn't be associated with these scammers.

10.0 Wonderful
It’s always great. Smooth & easy. Always have a good selection of cars.
A
2.0 Poor
I was unable to rent the car because the counter was closed. There was a sign directing everyone to Avi’s car rental which only had 1 person working and over 20 people in line. I ended up renting a different car from Alamo.
A
8.0 Very Good
Experience was seamless and professional
A
4.0 Mediocre
Vehicle was not clean. Air conditioning did not work in rear of vehicle. Vehicle shut off and had check engine lights flashing.
A
2.0 Poor
No car was reserved for us. Tried to gave us smaller car. Had to cancel our booking. Very disappointed and frustrated.
A
6.0 Okay
I reserved a seven seater SUV and got a van. Van had many issues and wouldn’t start in the mornings, so returned it for a new one and got attitude from the budget representative. Eventually was given a replacement van and had no issues after that.
