Every single employee I encountered was friendly and helpful.Reviewed Oct 21 2024

Likes: Vehicle worked very well and no mechanical issues. Dislikes: (1) The pick-up - The Midway car rental facility is in a separate location, but a shuttle is provided. The line for Budget looped around the ropes and stretched to the left end of the building. We stood in-line, after air travel and no a/c in the building, for about an hour and a half. The counter had about 3 active teller, meanwhile there were about 8 total stations. This piece didn’t make since because it was a Friday morning (busiest travel day) and other people in-line shared the same sentiments. There were people in line, including myself, actively looking to rent at some of the other rental companies, but couldn’t luck up since it was a Friday. This condition definitely changed my idea of visiting this location, using Budget and/or traveling in on another day of the week. (2) The car. Because of the massive line and wait, there were no more midsize cars avaliable. We were given the option of a pick-up, mini van or electric car. Since I had my parents with me, I went with the mini-van, knowing Chicago has a lot of street parking. The car was not clean. There were still old napkins and dirt on the seats and car. Luckily, we only needed the car for a weekend, otherwise I would have pressure for a reimbursement if I cleaned it.Reviewed Sep 9 2024

It took over an hour and a half of waiting in line to pick up the rental car. Extremely short staffed. The rep was nice and the rest of the experience was great, but the absurd wait time put a really sour taste in our mouths.Reviewed Aug 25 2024

I got to the desk to pick up the car at 930am. It was 1120am when I left garage with the car. Only one employee at checkin desk at times there were 30 people in line. Finally a second employee showed up. The poorest customer service that I've seen in my lifetime.Reviewed Aug 11 2024

Waiting line for pick up the vehicle was horrible, then it wasn’t the car we were expecting. It wasn’t clean and the worst part was when we returned it. The price went from 460 dls to almost 600 So bad experience 😩Reviewed Jun 12 2024

The vehicles I had was terrible. Maintenance needed on the vehicle WiFi updates needed. The side mirrors were very dirty. Looks of chocolate milk or shake splashed in the trunk area on passenger side. Vehicle not vacuumed, dried spot of crusty food on front passenger seat. Front windshield exterior had black tape or something on top and partially down the window. Looks of a repair. Partial scraped of stickers on the interior passenger side of windshield. Just an all around below standard experience. Oh and the tires are below minimum tread. (Penny check)Reviewed Feb 24 2024

The drop off location and time was not what I selected in my search and didn’t realize until the night before that it had changed. Tried to call to change and it was closed, called the next morning and was informed it would be $659 to change to a closer drop off or to keep the car a couple extra hours. That is insanity. I waited over an hour in line to rent from these guys for pick up after my scheduled time, but was told if I was more than 20 min late it would be $659. What a joke.Reviewed Oct 16 2022

Everything was ok except how long it took to get our car. We waited in line for an hour. And we had to get to our destination asap. There was not enough staff for the amount of customers AND they had problems with having cars ready.Reviewed Sep 11 2022
