Experience was fine. Car smelled like black and milds a bit, some windows switches were broken, and it ran poorly (ticking noise from the engine); however, it got me from A to B for a very fair price! Not mad whatsoever. Would do it again.Reviewed Oct 23 2025

There was only 1 agent at the desk and he was representing 3 to 4 different brands. It’s a painfully long line. Why can’t I walk up to my car like National ? If you rent from Budget, you will be late to your next appointment.Reviewed Oct 23 2025

Staff was uninformed, unhelpful, and rude. They couldn’t answer basic questions about the EV rental—such as what type of charging port the car uses, how much charge it would have at pickup, or how much was required upon return. I picked up the rental at 1 a.m., and these were important details to know. Extremely poor experience at the MIA counter and at the gate leaving the rental place.Reviewed Oct 23 2025

I didn't realize it was a pickup area out of the airport, although there was a budget in the airport when we got to the place after a $30 taxi ride we found out that our booking had been canceled at 3:30. We have to no idea why we were still on the plane and that stage. However, the gentleman was very helpful. Gave us a car which was extremely comfortable and reliableReviewed Oct 22 2025
