This was the worst experience I’ve had with Budget ever, at any location. 1. It was very important that I have a large SUV and they did not have the size of vehicle I requested available. 2. I was passed back and forth between an employee and a manager with little communication as to why. It was very confusing and time-consuming. 3. Although I’ve been a long time Budget customer, my information was re-input into the computer (taking even more time) . I’m also a FastPass member. 4. It sounds like there’s a disconnect between customer reservations and car availability at locations. THERE SHOULDN’T BE.Reviewed May 15 2026

Drop off was very hectic. First time to Huoston airport. Tried to return the car quickly as I had a flight to catch . Couldn't locate budget easily. It took me 40 minutes to figure out where exactly they were. I wish if there were clear instruction of their drop off location rather than the address they provided which accommodates dozen more rental brands. However , pickup in Austin was hassle free and exceptional.Reviewed May 14 2026

Van was not ready cause of a smell they were trying to air out. 30 minutes later the van was still not there. So it must be an awful smell and I booked the van a month ahead. GReviewed May 14 2026

We waited in line for over an hour... there was 1 customer service agent and about 30 people in line. We reserved an intermediate SUV but were given a compact SUV, then told the compact SUV was in the same category as the intermediate. The reason I reserved the intermediate SUV is because I need a blindspot indicator and that is something that has always come standard with an intermediate SUV. The compact SUV category does not have this. Anyway, I tried to get a different car and they refused. The customer service agents were unhelpful. I called Avis, who acquired Budget and they basically told me to get lost over the phone. It was a disappointing experience to say the least so I won't be renting from Budget/Avis again if I can help it.Reviewed May 13 2026

The car and rental was good.. upon returning the car i had some pictures of some slight damage. U couldn’t see it very good in the pictures cause of the sun. It seemed to me the girl checking the car thought i did some very minor scrapes. I guess i will see when they take the payment off of my750.00 deposit. I asked if i needed to sign anything and she said no that i could go with no paperwork. I thought that it was odd. So i hope all goes well. The car was great. Ran great and good on fuelReviewed May 13 2026
