Left behind a pair of glasses in the car. Went the next day to try to retrieve them. Manager refused to let staff check if glasses had been left behind and insisted that we submit an online claim. Online system to submit claim malfunctioned many times before being able to submit the claim. Also, when we called customer service, we were asked to go directly to the rental counter at the airport.Reviewed Mar 27 2026

I booked a Tesla or similar EV but they were completely out of EVs so I got a worn out beat up Mazda instead. Not even close to a Tesla. Could have at least gotten an upgrade for the inconvenience of not having any EVs but instead I got to downgrade.Reviewed Nov 20 2025

It was a total mess. They didn’t have the car at Fort Lauderdale so I had to take one car to Miami to get the other car and then was overcharged on all of it.Reviewed Apr 8 2025

My tire blew on the express lane of the interstate without hitting anything and after talking to 8 incompetent Budget employees from Roadside assistance and the special rental place, Budget ultimately canceled my assistance as the situation was deemed unsafe (for them, but apparently fine for me) and left me to figure out on my own how to get somewhere safe. I was stranded for 2.5 hours, then had to drive out of my way to swap the car and waited another hour to do that despite being told I would not have stand in line and they would ensure a car was ready for me…and I received no compensation/discount for my horrific experience. Worst customer service and rental experience ever!!!! I will never rent from Budget again regardless of the cost.Reviewed Mar 20 2025
