Gave me the car with half a tank and said to return it that way but when I returned it they said it had to be a full tank. Luckily I had paperwork proving it but I don’t think I should have to go through that.Reviewed Apr 9 2024

It was good. Budget helped me about the drop off and it was easy to solve some issues. However, the cleanness of the car was really poor. We found stuff and belongs to earlier renters under the seats.Reviewed Apr 6 2024

Even though I got better car than expected, due to change of the flight time, I went 5 hours later to pick up and they charged me for late pickup. Finally, they returned money after complaining.Reviewed Mar 26 2024

I made a reservation online for a pick up on 3/09 in the morning - I got a call from Budget at 8.20am that there was no vehicle available for me to rent that day. It really messed up my travel plans. Very disappointingReviewed Mar 11 2024

Great customer service experience. Busy line up at pick up. Found medication/vitamins rolling around the back which wasn’t ok since I had young kids in the back. Noticed the tires were also balding, and it was set up in Spanish when I got it. All in all, service was pleasant, car was a great fit. Some things could be worked on.Reviewed Mar 4 2024
