Cons:I was charged almost double and called in 4 times all different people and could not get resolved. I booked the car for pick up at Hixon TN in my error. I picked the car up at the Airport which is what I needed. The reservation was changed for pick up not drop off so I had to call into change it. The rate was not quoted, I found my reservation which showed $175.00 my charge was $320.07. I was told nothing could be done until I returned the car. When I returned the car 2.5 hours early I asked for a re-rate and was told it would not make a difference. I am aware airport fees raise the rental rate but not by almost double. For the price the car should be cleaned to include in side the windows and dry it off. The care windows inside were dirty and like most rental companies the car is just hosed off.Reviewed Oct 18 2019

Cons:When I arrived to pick up the car, I was told they didn't have a car for me and it would be available until 1pm if it was brought back. When I called Customer Service, I was told to go to the air port and they would have a car for me there When I arrived there, they told me I wasn't scheduled to pick up the car until 3pm. They were wanting me to wait 3 hrs. for the car I reserved for 12pm. Then when all was said and done, I had to pay $40.00 more than the original price in order to get the car at the time I originally scheduled it for. POOR Service all around. The man in Chattanooga was HORRIBLE!!! He called at 11:30 to inform me the car wasn't going to be there. I asked why he didn't call sooner and he had no answer. HE SUCKS!! POOR additude!!!@Reviewed Nov 16 2017

Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Chattanooga

  • One of the best reasons to book Budget car rentals in Chattanooga is that doing so allows you to easily explore this beautiful part of Tennessee on your own schedule.  If you're traveling alone or with a small group, a compact or midsize car may be sufficient. For larger groups or families, consider a sedan, SUV, or minivan with more seating capacity. Consider the nature of your trip and the places you plan to visit. If you're exploring the city, a smaller and more fuel-efficient car may be practical. If you're venturing into more rugged terrain or planning outdoor activities, an SUV or crossover with all-wheel drive might be beneficial.
  • Budget Car Rental presents the Budget Fastbreak loyalty rewards program, delivering excellent advantages to individuals who book Budget car rentals in Chattanooga. As a Fastbreak member, you have the opportunity to accumulate rewards points with each eligible rental, facilitating the redemption of these points for complimentary rental days and resulting in savings for future rentals. The program's flexibility shines through the absence of blackout dates, ensuring convenience in trip planning. Fastbreak members further benefit from an exclusive service counter, diminishing wait times and offering priority service throughout the rental process.
  • An essential consideration when you book Budget car rentals in Chattanooga is the company's cancellation policy. Following the processing of a cancellation, Budget will credit your original payment card within approximately seven business days. It's crucial to be aware that canceling a prepaid reservation before the rental incurs a processing fee. Additionally, if the vehicle is returned early before the initially scheduled return date, no payment refund will be issued.
  • Budget Car Rental generally provides the option for one-way rentals, enabling customers to collect a rental car in a specific location, like Chattanooga, and return it to a different location. This flexibility is beneficial for travelers with no intention of returning to their initial pickup point. It's important to review the precise terms, conditions, and any potential fees related to one-way rentals directly with Budget Car Rental during the booking process.
