I wasted 90 dollars and 3 hours with round trip cab rides from the airport due to them not having a vehicle for me, despite having a reservation weeks in advance. I’ve never had an issue with budget in the past. Absolutely unacceptable to waste of a customers time and money.Reviewed Feb 6 2025

Car smelled like marijuana. Arrived with windows down so guess someone knew. Shaked and rattled pretty badly at highway speed. Staff on the other hand were great. Friendly. Easy.Reviewed Feb 1 2025

We were given a reservation online at Kayak, but when we went to Budget's counter, they didn't have any cars. I won't be booking this way again.Reviewed Jan 28 2025

It was hard finding the actual Budget location since I found out later they still use old Budget logos throughout airport so hard to locate. Car had almost 50K miles on it, had multiple stains throughout upholstery and smelled of smoke.Reviewed Dec 1 2024

Not great, we were quoted for a ford transit or similar with a price of $615. When I got to the airport, they didn’t have any transits and could only give us an armada. I ended up having to pay $3,300 for a van which was ridiculous.Reviewed Oct 10 2024

Pick up in CLT was easy. Drop off at AVL consisted of an employee saying "park it in E17 and drop your keys in the drop box. Budget will send you a receipt." I have not received a receipt of any info from Budget since I left Charlotte. I am concerned.Reviewed Oct 7 2024

We never picked up a car because they were "out" in Charlotte despite booking a car online. Staff were nice and helpful at the time, despite the chaos, but it would've been helpful if the system told me there were no cars before we wasted so much time going there and waiting in line, etc.Reviewed Jul 29 2024

Awful, waited in line in the parking garage for 1.5 hours before I was able to get my car. Will never use budget again.Reviewed Jun 11 2024
