Sleazy. Photograph your fuel status at start! Vehicle was fine- we needed a minivan due to relatives flying into town over holidays. No problems at all with the car. The usual hard sell for extra insurance wasn't bad at all. However, an annoying $5.00 per day was added to our quoted rental rate because I showed up 30 minutes early for the pickup- it could be waived by waiting 20 minutes. I elected the option to return gas tank at same level at it was at start of rental. The fuel gauge was at 8 bars out of 10 at the start of our rental, and I took photo of the dashboard (fuel gauge + mileage) to document. At the time of return I filled the tank up to 9 of 10 bars. Upon return I agreed to get the invoice by email- he suggested this as their printer was very ancient. At home, the invoice was reviewed and they added a $20 fuel charge, stating the tank was full at start of rental and 7/8 full on return (both incorrect). Upon calling the rental agency, he said it was likely a "system error" and agreed to try to correct it. We never got a corrected invoice but fortunately the credit card charge was lowered. I will take my business elsewhere in the future.Reviewed Dec 31 2025

Waited over an hour to get into a car that looked like it had been a crash test dummy. Shocks were shot yet the car only had 6500 miles on it. Purchased insurance through kayak yet didn’t get confirmation email till after we returned car. Would never use kayak again.Reviewed Dec 31 2025

Worst rental car experience I’ve ever had. The one employee showed up 25 minutes late, they didn’t have the car type I reserved so I was stuck driving a mini van instead of an SUV thru a snow storm, the tires were extremely low (16 psi) and I had to stop to fill them and the windshield fluid didn’t work at all even after I stopped at a gas station to buy more fluid.Reviewed Dec 31 2025

I was able to make a reservation for a car that did not exist. Ridiculous. Had to use another provider who had cars available 3 hours later. Customer service was also far more accommodating. I had two little kids & all our luggage. Had to Uber back to where we had been staying, then back later to get available car with other provider. Could have saved a lot of time & money in advance if I had just known there were not going to be any cars. Never again.Reviewed Dec 31 2025

They rented cars they didn't have. Forced dozens of renters (including me) to wait for 2-3 hours to get checked in and get their cars because they were waiting for returned cars to get cleaned and ready to go. Gave totally lame excuses for the delay. Even FastBreak customers were having to wait in line for cars. It is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE for a car rental company to be completely blind to how many cars they will have at any given time and rent more cars than they have available. I AM NEVER RENTING FROM BUDGET AGAIN!Reviewed Dec 31 2025

I received an "It’s official: you got a ride for Syracuse". The reservation had been cancelled when I attempted to pick up the car. The experience would be improved with proper communication and keeping the reservation that was confirmed by your company. Or email that no car is available.Reviewed Dec 31 2025

I had reserved a compact SUV but was given a compact car. So not quite sure where the disconnect was in there. The car was fine.Reviewed Dec 30 2025

Car could have been a bit cleaner. There were some smears and stuff from the last driver. We also had to wait 2 hours past our set pickup time. There was no answer as to how long we would have to wait so we had no idea how long we would be waiting and what our day would looking like. Corporate could be doing a better job with keeping cars at locations where needed instead of shifting them around for whatever reason.Reviewed Dec 29 2025

They canceled my reservation without notification. I arrived at the rental counter and was denied a car after I reserved it weeks prior.Reviewed Dec 29 2025
