Horrible. Took well over an hour to obtain the rental when we arrived at the airport - they had one person at the desk and well over 20 customers waiting in line. A very frustrating experience.Reviewed Jun 6 2023

We had to wait forever once we got in and was then provided with a car which was a smaller class than what I had reserved because the budget desk was closed, so we were then taken to Avis. The car was disgusting and smelled horribly of burnt marijuana all week. It was hands down the worst car rental experience I've ever had, and I will never use budget again.Reviewed Apr 25 2023

Cotour (never fly with them) left me stranded for what would have been three days at the airport, so I rented a van with complete strangers. The staff at Budget weren’t over the top friendly… some staff arguing and swearing at each other in the lobby. The vehicle was great. Not cleaned before we got it, or cleaned quickly. Came with previous passengers set of used fake nails, some of their personal paperwork. Overall good experience. Bailed us out of Contours mishap. Again, DO not fly Contour. They lied to us repeatedly before abandoning us, and do this often.Reviewed Mar 28 2023

Ease of pick up and drop off Car needed oil change and light was on my whole trip, kept beeping and created extra distraction while I was navigating unfamiliar roads and directions. Hard to adjust the seats on Ford Escape, otherwise very comfortableReviewed Mar 19 2023

We did not receive an invoice at time of rental. The computers wern’t Working, but they said we would receive an email. We never did and when I checked my credit card, we were billed for $153, instead of the estimate of $100 for the 2 day rental. We did not upgrade our rental. Also, we were told to go to a certain parking space to pick up the car. When we go5 there, someone was already in the car, so we had to go back to the counter and she gave us another one. Very unorganized.Reviewed Mar 1 2023
