Loved that I could park and go at drop off. The car itself smelled inside. Also, it seemed like it needed an alignment and service in general.Reviewed Nov 4 2025

friendly agent, good price; only minor complaint was exit process from rental car center; lanes were poorly labeled and very backed up; I don't think most people realized that they could use the QR-code rapid exit lane; would be helpful to explain this to people so that they can get out quickly!Reviewed Nov 3 2025

Rental counter was severely understaffed. We waited over an hour in line while other agencies around us had minimal lines. Car was high mileage and in poor condition.Reviewed Nov 3 2025

We had a vehicle reserved. When we got to the location we were told to have a seat even though the clerk didn’t seem to be working and there were no one else she was waiting on. After about 10 minutes, we were told she had 2 mini vans for us even though we had reserved an SUV. The vans were in pretty bad conditions for rental vehicles. Then we tried to make a debit card payment and it wouldn’t go through. It clearly says on Kayak that Debit cards are accepted. So we called the corporate office to prepay. They took a payment from us and said they were putting the deposit on that as well but that wasn’t true. We tried to call back and were told the corporate office could not take a deposit payment. Now it’s after 5:00 and the worker who asked us to sit tells us she has to get her kids. So we had the reservation switched to the airport location. The person at the corporate office said we would be good to go. When we got there, they asked us for our flight number and told us, we couldn’t rent a car without one. In the end, we used my car. All of this was happening while we were trying to get to Louisiana the following morning for my mom’s funeral. To say the least, this was a very stressful situation. The only thing it taught us was we would not be trying Budget in the future.Reviewed Nov 2 2025
