The worst rental car experience I have ever had. I have rented with many of your competitors at Denver International and have never had an experience this bad. I waited one hour and 17 minutes in line to check in and get my vehicle. The longest I have ever waited with a competitor is 15 minutes. Many others who came in after I did would have had even longer wait times, as the line grew to be out the doors into the outside areas. The staff made no apologies or offerings due to the long wait times and acted as if it were normal. And once I got our vehicle the low coolant light was on and we noticed many significant imperfections on the outside, for example missing the G and E in RANGE ROVER at the front. Based on this experience, it will be my first and last with Budget.Reviewed Oct 3 2024

The line to the counter was very long. I tried to pre-check in multiple times as suggested but it never worked. Then talked to the guy who of course told me they didn’t have my car and I’d be better off with a Jeep anyway. Way more expensive but alright. I then realize I’ve been charged with wifi which I never asked for. The car itself has a removable roof and studded wheels which makes it very uncomfortable for long distance. It also had a slow leak in a rear tire, meaning I had to put air in every day. THEN I realize the oil life is at 2%. I call customer service to ask what I should do. They say to go to any Budget location and they will exchange the car for free. So I go to the closest Budget location I find. It can’t do an exchange because it’s a local location, I need to go to the airport. I go to the Budget location at the airport. They tell me they also can’t do an exchange. I start to question what the person from customer service told me. But they then tell me to go to Avis which has corporate cars and will be able to do it. Of course by then my situation has gotten pretty weird and the poor girl at Avis has no clue how to deal with it. So after waiting for another guy to show up, I can finally get in another car and be on my way. Overall pretty disappointed.Reviewed Sep 2 2024
