They did not honor the reservation nor did they arrange for a replacement at a different location. I had to find my way to another car rental company and rent a car for almost 50% more. They said they just leave these reservation slot open online even when they don’t have cars.Reviewed Apr 28 2026

Started off bad and throughout the week it didn't get better. We asked for a SUV and they were trying to put us in a minivan. Then the person found us a SUV but it was not clean. The inside had garbage in it and dirty marks on the door panels and in most of the cubbies/cup holders. Now let's talk about the cruise control turning off on us all week. I had to drive long distances and it would have been nice to have cruise control for those drives. I probably would not use Budget again.Reviewed Apr 7 2026

The car reserved through Kayak was advertised as a mid-size SUV. I specifically paid extra to have a larger vehicle since I had my spouse and kids with me. Only at pickup did we find out that the rental car reserved was not a mid-size SUV, but an economy. The car they tried to provide wouldn't even fit my kid's car seats and our luggage. Budget blamed the the third party rental agency (QEEQ). The third party rental agency blamed Kayak. Kayak wouldn't answer any calls to customer service. All parties refused to provide any assistance and left my family stranded at the airport with a too-small car. When seeking help everyone just recommended paying more money in order to get a vehicle that matched the size originally advertised. Overall it was a very poor experience with Budget and Kayak. I will not be renting cars through Kayak in the future because they significantly misrepresent their vehicle sizes.Reviewed Jan 12 2026

Worst experience of my life while renting a car. The staff at the counter was rude and misleading about insurance information. We had such a bad experience that we ended up cancelling the reservervation and charged a penalty as they cancelled the booking an hour later than the pick up time. I don’t recommend this companyReviewed Jan 3 2026
