Pros: was a hybrid so got great mileage
Cons: BE AWARE this location was NOT at the airport - had to take a taxi to the location....and it's in a mall - you have to huck your luggage into a mall and then down a LONG flight of steep stairs to get to the car. The car wasn't cleaned - it was dirty from previous renter.....NOT impressed.

Pros: The bad outweighed the good.
Cons: Our flight was delayed for 16 hours. When we were at our very lowest, and beyond exhausted, Budget slapped us with a $200 fee because we were late, as if it were our fault or choice. They were soulless and made a bad situation worse.

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Was unpleased to find out that the price a reserved the car for was not the price I would have to pay for when I picked up the car. The car was overwhelmed with the smell of smoke/marijuana and had to keep the windows down for our 3hr ride home. I am allergic to smoke and broke out in hives.

Cons: This is a offensive. I sent an email yesterday to say that you allowed me to book a car through your site for pick up from this location at 7PM . The location closes at 7 so I had to book a second car and get another cab to take me there. That's 2 down-payments through Kayak. Not great service there

Pros: The staff was super nice both at pick up and drop off. Very convenient airport location.
Cons: Inside cleanliness of vehicle - outside was spotless, however inside was another story. There was a weird pinkish substance on passenger seat & an empty soda bottle under it as well.
