It took around 75 to 90 minutes just to get to the rental counter. When we entered the queue, they only had 2 people working. When we reached the front of the queue, they opened 1 more agent. And by the time we were done with our Ppwk, they added 2 more agents. They were way understaffed for the amount of flights that arrive Maui at that time of day. When we reached our assigned vehicle, it was filthy on the exterior. The vehicle also had many scrapes on all sides. The interior had been vacuumed, but the dash had dirt/sunscreen from previous renters. I looked at the vehicle year of manufacture because the seats were very worn and stained. It was a 5 year old minivan. The minivan was due for a computer update and that notice was on the screen every time the van was started. The backup camera intermittently malfunction and the screen would be a solid blue. I have photos of both those issues as well as a walk around video showing the condition at p/u. The return process was simple but we wanted to inform the employees of the computer issues and they just waved us in and didn't want us to stop to discuss with them.Reviewed Apr 12 2026

When I went to pick up the vehicle, they told me they didn’t do same day pick ups. When I ordered the car online, there was no issue placing the order and nothing that said they didn’t do same day pickups. I mentioned that nothing was said online about this, and I didn’t receive and email or call or text explaining otherwise. She said “well our inventory guy doesn’t do his job”. So I drove out of my way, and thought I had a car secured, but I didn’t and was met with rude customer service.Reviewed Apr 10 2026

My Reservation Number - 42854989-US-2. I picked up the car on 3/25 at 8.55AM and was supposed to return it at 4/09 9.00AM, but I returned the car ONE DAY EARLY. I returned it at 4/08 around 8.30 PM, but I am still being charged a LATE fees. I received the car with full gas and I returned the car with full gas. I filled up the car from a gas station near cary. The only driving after filling up the car is around 5 miles or so. But I al also being charged for almost 2 gallons of gas. I believe that both cases above are cruel and budget is just trying to squeeze more money out of customers without any valid reason. IT IS UNFAIR TO CHARGE LATE FEES WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED EARLY. Very disappointed and heartbroken. Note: When the car was returned the previous day, I even walked into the office and asked the lady about a checkout receipt and the lady said that there is nothing for her to give me because I am supposed to do just leave the car with the keys inside and the guy will check it in. (please check your camera during that time).Reviewed Apr 10 2026

Staff was friendly and helpful. No hassle. However, the car smelled like smoke when I first got into it. I had to call to make sure I wouldn't get charged a cleaning/smoking fee upon return. Also, the day I was driving back to the airport to return the rental, I stopped at a gas station to fill up the gas tank. I was unable to do so because the small external panel that covers the gas cap wouldn't open. I tried everything I could to open it, but no luck. So unfortunately I had to return the car with no full tank of gas. I called customer service again and they said they would make note of it. Here's to hoping I'm not charged the outrageous re-fueling fee.Reviewed Apr 10 2026

The pick up location closes at 4pm during the week and NOON on the weekends. This is not posted on any information given by Kayak, priceline or any confirmation email. There is no after hours number. So we were stranded with a toddler in the heat with no way to get the car we booked and paid for. We specifically booked a gas cars, only to be told they don’t have any available at pick up. The man working the counter was rude and unhelpful and tried to charge us 2x what our reservation quoted. Do not rent hereReviewed Apr 8 2026
