Absolutely terrible experience the other day at this site. The Budget counter was unmanned. Sign stated to use the Avis desk, which only had one rep on duty. Significant line/wait. I was in line for 45 minutes waiting for a car, and after finally getting a car assignment, went upstairs to find that another patron had been given the same car, forcing the other patron to go BACK into line again. I returned the car with a full tank of gas and was still charged 31.97 for fuel service. I will never, ever, rent from Budget ever again.Reviewed Apr 30 2026

The line to pick up the rental was unreal. Under-staffed, and it took well over an hour to pick up the vehicle. And the cost was too much for a small SUV.Reviewed Apr 21 2026

The Avis service agent who helped me was delightfully helpful. My car was an excellent value. The only curious aspect of my rental was the QEEQ online platform experience, as I did not understand in advance that that platform was the online platform for Avis and Budget, so better communication needed there. Otherwise, excellent experience.Reviewed Oct 19 2025

You could disclose on your website that you only accept Major credit card. I have rented from other companies and have been able to use my bank supported debit card as a major credit card. I was out the cost of an uber driving to pick up the car I had confirmation for to rent. And then then cost of an Uber returning home after being denied the rental all because the website didn't disclose that bank supported card were not accepted. The counter person was super friendly and apologetic about the situation.Reviewed Jun 25 2025

After a rescheduled flight, I didn’t know if I’d be able to get a car for the solar eclipse, even though I’d booked months before. But they got everything squared away, sending us off in a Dodge Charger. 😎Reviewed Apr 13 2024

I was unable to get the vehicle that I prepaid for. Reportedly they had my first name as my last name and were unable to change the reservation and unable to cancel because I had reserved online. I ended up having to get a LyftReviewed Nov 24 2023
