Only one person at the counter and a long line of people. System went down for a long time. Told us that they closed at 1:00am and were would have to wait till they reopened. Finally they got the system to work. The car I had was very noisy to drive.Reviewed Jun 1 2025

The wait for a car at Budget was over an hour (after a 12 hour flight with 4 kids). The agent rushed me through the process and had me add extras that I didn't need (tolls), which ended up being a complete waste of money. When I returned with the car an hour later, they refused to help. Customer service didn't help either. Cost was not worth it. Bad experience. Will not rent from Budget again.Reviewed May 28 2025

I didn’t get a car because the wait was so long. In over an hour (I timed it) I had only moved up a spot on line. Walked next door to a different company and was out with a car in less than 10 minutes like usual.Reviewed May 11 2025

We arrived 30 min before their closing time, but the entire staff was gone. We called and walked around and could not find anyone to give us our car. We had to go to Alamo to rent a car at 1 AM so we could drive a couple more hours to our destination. When talking with someone on the customer service line, they said there was nothing they could do and suggested we just take an Uber (at our own expense). I will never rent from Budget again.Reviewed Dec 5 2024

It ended up costing more than quoted. There was all these extra fees. I didn’t get even remotely close the car i signed up for. and there was trash left in the car from the previous user.Reviewed Nov 30 2024

First, the location was terrible. We were using gps and our Uber driver was doing his best but it is hidden out of sight. The address sends you to the drop off rather than the pick up. Second, when we arrived at 9 am the waiting area was full and then we were told there were NO cars!! I had made my reservation months in advance. All the following days of our trip had reservations that could no longer be cancelled. People were getting increasingly disgruntled. There were only 2 employees to check folks in. Slowly vehicles started drifting in and we finally got our car by 11. But this should never happen!! On a positive note, we had reserved an SUV but were given a mini van for the same price and we enjoyed it and it provided the space we needed.Reviewed Oct 15 2024
