Terrible customer experience and customer service. I arrived early to pickup my vehicle (I needed to get a ride and the person needed to get to work so 9am was the only time window I could get there). My pickup was scheduled for noon (12pm). I was the ONLY customer there and the parking lot was full of cars. The front desk employee was not helpful and told me “your car isn’t cleaned yet, I could probably have it cleaned by 1130” I told him I didn’t care about the cleanliness and also stated he could upgrade or downgrade my vehicle as I didn’t care. He just stared at me and told me to wait in the lobby til the car is ready and there was “nothing he could do” I tried calling 1800 number to speak to customer service to see if there was anything they could help with because I could not wait around for 3 hours. Customer service was terrible and no help. They kept passing me to another agent, causing the phone to hang up 3 times. Finally after my 5 transfer, I spoke to someone in “rental trucks” who didn’t understand why I was transferred to him in the first place, told me (after I explained the situation) that my request was not unreasonable and there job was to help me get a vehicle even if it was looking at another location. He recommended I talk to the guy at the front desk again and see if he could help or ask for a manager. When I went back in and asked to speak to a manager, magically my vehicle (which was the same vehicle I saw in the lot earlier and it never moved) was “ready”Reviewed Mar 29 2025

My scheduled pick up time was 6 pm. I arrived at 6:03 and Budget was closed and no one was there so I could not pick up the vehicle. Why would the schedule a 6 pm pick up when the leave at 6?Reviewed Oct 14 2024

The pickup service was fine, but drop-off at the Orlando airport was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. And the only vehicle available was a gas-guzzling pickup truck, which compounded the price gouging for gas.Reviewed Nov 26 2023

Cons:We booked a van for our daughter’s wedding over a month ago. The day before someone called to confirm and we confirmed the pick up. On the wedding day the father of the bride went to pick up the van and it was not where it was supposed to be. He spent almost an extra hour out of his day having to go to another location to pick up the van. We were highly disappointed after we even asked for the location the day before for the pick up. Very unprofessional people except for DiegoReviewed Apr 19 2021
