Roger was great at pickup. Our flight was delayed well past midnight and he still took care of us with a smile.
6.0 Good5 Jul 2021
It was ok.Well, at first we thought the city smelled here and there. We got to the hotel and as we stood at the back of the car there was a horrible smell. We thought it was the pool across the way. Turns out the rubber seal along the trunk was somewhat detached and moisture was getting in the trunk. It smelled as if there had been a dead body in there, at some point! I was glad we got a car, but I thought the rate could have been a little better.
2.0 Mediocre28 Jun 2021
The car itself was fineHad to wait an hour and a half to get the car. AND I told them I did not want the extra insurance but they charged me $200 after I returned the car. When I called to ask why I was charged they told me because I got the insurance. I now have to wait 3-5 days to see what I agreed to when signed the agreement. Also, for some reason I never got the original receipt. I confirmed my email and checked spam, but never got it. However, I did receive their survey. Weird how that went through but not any of my receipts.

Price was right......manager on-site worked with me to get issue resolved.When I reserve a car a 2 weeks in advance and call night before to verify reservation, it would be nice to actually have a car available. Need to call customers ahead of time to let them know there are no cars available so that customer can make alternative plans and not waste time driving to location.

Drop off was easy but the pickup was a major issue. 2hr wait and didn't get the size vehicle I paid for. Also, the vehicle had sensors going off, brake lights didn't work, and got the car on empty gas tank.Better support, customer service, and coordination. Reserved a month in an advance and got treated like I just reserved the prior day. Will never rent through Hertz again.

1.9 Horrible1 Oct 2021
Renter beware. Booked a car for 6pm, My flight came in at 5:45 and I wasn't able to get to the rental via Uber until 6:10pm. The individual working already left for the night at 6pm. Didn't even bother to stick around and wait for me even though I had CONFIRMED rental agreement. I was literally left stranded in the middle of Sanford, Fl. Had to get another Uber back to the airport just to be refused another vehicle at the airports Budget because they were "19 vehicles short". Absolutely horrible experience. Moral of the story, always book a rental from the terminal if possible. Also, don't book from budget. They clearly don't care if you have a confirmed rental or not. Spend a few more dollars and rent from a more reputable company.

The worker needs to be better nasty attitude she doesn't need to be working at budget telling me that I couldn't use my insurance that I had to get their insurance that something was wrong with the vehicle that my credit card was declined I gave her three different credit cards to use she said they all was declined very poor services I will not be renting from budget again very very poor services
4.0 Okay7 Jul 2021
My experience with this particular budget was not good. Nothing good to say at all.The front desk staff when picking up the car was rude and condescending. Insisted that my husband and I wear our masks which we were fine with but did not insist that the mailman wear a mask when he came in to bring the mail. Felt discriminated against by this particular staff member. The car was dirty on the inside. Hadn't been vacuumed or cleaned at all. Definitely not sanitized per COVID-19 regulations. Just an overall bad experience for the price we paid to rent the vehicle.

Car was dirty inside and out. There was also a large dent in the back of the vehicle and the man at Budget’s desk said he knew about it already…not sure why they would not repair it or give us a different rental car

Literally nothing. As soon as I landed (at midnight) I had a message from Budget saying that they didn’t have a car for me and there was nothing they could do. I had to sleep in the airport because it was too late and too expensive to try and get another car. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a car rental, and I’ve had some pretty bad ones.Everything, literally anything and everything would’ve been better. I’m never using your service again, and will strongly discourage anyone I ever meet from using your service either because of this.
2.0 Mediocre16 Apr 2021
Got there and they did not have a car for me despite making a confirmed reservation.It would jave been better to have a car available as promised

The worst rental experience ever. No vehicle at location available despite reservation. No attempt at assistance with alternative other than walk down the counter and ask other vendor which were Asking$ 1000 a day. Why join their loyalty program if this is their corporate culture of customer service.

I had been experienced bait and switch with a different car rental office the night before, so wasn’t really feeling too confident about going elsewhere. However, my husband and I were pleased with the customer service at Alamo and appreciated they had cars available for rental.I had to pay $501 for 2 days of rental.

CHRYSLER VAN WAS NICE & ROOMY.I drove down to Enterprise the week before when i made the reservation with KAYAK to confirm they had me in the system.....and they did. When i went to pickup the van Enterprise said they cancelled the order......WHAT!!!!! Representative said they tried to reach me by phone the day before and did not get me to confirm rental........WHAT! I showed him the VMS i recieved and that I called right back and did not get a sole to answer the phone. I told the Rep that most other companies use TEXT to verify / confirm transactions. Glad I saved the VMS & Phone call times. My guess is that they rented my van to another unhappy customer? Manager came out and resolved the issue and had a van delivered from the airport to their site......I had to come back later to pickup the van. Never had much luck with Enterprise and probably will avoid using them again.......always seem shady in their dealings with me.

picking up the car was excellent. Everyone most helpful. Car was everything I expected and fun to drive. Dropping off car in lot, I did not appreciate being harassed by the return agent while I was trying to get my 3 pieces of luggage organized, and loose items stowed away, like my GPS. I only asked for 5 minutes, but agent would not leave me alone. However: All in all the best experience I had renting a car at Sanford in a long time.Keys were a wad in my pocket for the entire week. Had to stuff them in a pants pocket wherever I went. How about some thoughtfulness when giving out 4 separate items on a braided steel cord that will not compress flat. Perhaps, give customer the option to "cut the cord" at the counter. Particularly for people dropping off at the pickup point.
