When we arrived, the line was incredibly long and moving painfully slow. I spoke to another woman farther up in line who said she had been waiting over two hours, and expected to wait at least an hour more. We ended up canceling our reservation and finding other transportation home. Terrible experience with Budget.Reviewed Jul 14 2025

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
