Service was great! We were 4 hours late due to airplane mechanical problems. Budget kept the car for us. Easy check in process. Keys in the car ready to go.Reviewed May 2 2026

They did not allow me to take the rental after paying for it and signing the paperwork. They left me hanging after my flight was canceled at 11pm and asked me to go around asking if a rental car is available at other rental car companies. I will never go to Budget again.Reviewed May 2 2026

The pickup was a little hard bc there was no one to show me where the car was and the lot was blocked off and difficult to get out of. But the car itself was great. A little pricey.Reviewed May 1 2026

The inside of the windshield was absolutely filthy when I got the car. I mean REALLY bad. I had to stop at the store and buy glass wipes to clean it as I had trouble seeing through it when driving into the sun. The electric tailgate didn't work and would only open or close the gate part-way. Other than that the car was good.Reviewed May 1 2026

I ended up getting a car from another company because the line was ridiculously long at Budget- longer than 2 days previously when my friend waited at least an hour to get to the front. There were also people waiting for cars out by the car pick up.Reviewed Apr 30 2026

I reserved a car. They did not reserve me a car. The only vehicles they had were pick up trucks. My experience was awful. The attendant at the rental counter had a rude, “Take it or leave it” attitude and did not care that I am 74, 5’3” tall and weigh 105 pounds and had reserved a car. He said it was too bad. I was not given a receipt on pick up so I had no paperwork. Additionally, I paid my “TOTAL RENTAL AMOUNT” at the time of reservation and they increased the amount by $112.56 at the time I turned my truck in. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RENT a VEHICLE FROM BUDGET! I WILL NEVER DO SO AGAIN.Reviewed Apr 30 2026

Got the 1st car and the screen didn't work so at 11:30 pm I'm changing cars and then when I went to drop the car off, I was charged for the second time. Still not refunded told I have to send in proof, so I did. I was told when I picked the car off, I paid upfront which I knew I did, so I don't' understand why I was charged again.Reviewed Apr 30 2026

Absolutely terrible experience the other day at this site. The Budget counter was unmanned. Sign stated to use the Avis desk, which only had one rep on duty. Significant line/wait. I was in line for 45 minutes waiting for a car, and after finally getting a car assignment, went upstairs to find that another patron had been given the same car, forcing the other patron to go BACK into line again. I returned the car with a full tank of gas and was still charged 31.97 for fuel service. I will never, ever, rent from Budget ever again.Reviewed Apr 30 2026
