My issue is with the third party that kayak uses to book with budget. I had an issue with the pick up, couldn't get the car, their offices are in Hong Kong, and I still have not received my full refund.Reviewed Mar 17 2026

Budget upcharged us $691 for a change in drop-off site , after telling us that there would be no additional charge. Speaking with them yielded no refund. we are now going to our state's attorney general and the Better Business Bureau for help. BEWARE.Reviewed Mar 17 2026

They threw a rate change at us at pick up, but did not verbally say so. Yes, we signed the agreement in front of us, but no one said that there was an increase for the weekend. Ended up being an extra thousand dollars on top of the original booking for just three days.Reviewed Mar 16 2026

Car windows were filthy with a layer of smudge. Windshield wiper spray did not work. Windshield wiper was too large for car (Passenger side). Car itself was very nice, lots of features. Good ride. Exactly what I signed up for.Reviewed Mar 16 2026

It took a total of 2.5 hours from the time I walked in and left in the rental. That’s plum ridiculous. So for me I will probably never use Budget again, my first and last experience.Reviewed Mar 16 2026
