The vehicle was reserved months in advance but there was no vehicle available when we arrived. We waited for over 30 min in the garage while a vehicle was being delivered. The car exterior had not been cleaned and the driver side seat back was locked in a reclined position that could not be adjusted. It was a miserable experience.Reviewed Apr 28 2026

Our flight got in later than Budget was open. Even though the rental was scheduled for that day, we came in the next morning, and were able to get our vehicle with no problems. The lady who helped us was funny and kind. The Pacifica was clean and comfortable. Definitely the best fit for our family of 7 adults. Drop off was super quick and painless.Reviewed Apr 16 2026

Loved our car. It was clean and well kept. Pickup and drop off were great. The only thing not perfect was that the inside of the windshield was pretty filmy. But it was a great experience, and we already booked our return trip with Budget at the same location.Reviewed Mar 30 2026

The car was fine. Budget was deceptive regarding the Toll Fees. I was asked if I wanted to pre-pay for Toll's and I declined as I was told I would receive something in the mail. They are now trying to charge me $17.00 for "Toll Convenience Fee" when the toll itself was only 3 dollars.Reviewed May 6 2024
