I reserved an automatic SUV. I received a manual compact. When I complained they said that’s all we have. I had no other options so I took it. And paid the same rate.Reviewed Jan 6 2026

They didn’t have my reservation when I arrived. I ended up spending 6x’s as much on a rental at the airport. This was absolutely the worst experience with a car rental. I should have used a different site that Kayak.Reviewed Jan 6 2026

We were provided what should have been a nice SUV, but once we spent a little time behind the wheel, it was apparent that the truck had serious transmission slipping. Every gear change felt like the whole engine might fall out of the vehicle. Our pickup was Christmas Eve, so we returned the truck on Christmas Day and we were told there were no other large vehicles available. We were then told we couldn't get a refund at the counter and that we would need to call the main number. We did that and filed a case and requested a refund and we were only given back half of our fee. I filed another case and asked for the rest of the money and haven't gotten a response after 5 days. I'll keep trying.Reviewed Jan 5 2026

When I rented the car at like 2 am, I needed a large SUV to transport 6 teenagers across the state to a dance competition. Unbeknownst to my when I started to drive away the check engine light went on. I called budget they told me that if I didn’t feel safe that I couldn’t return it. Well now I was really late. They said the car should be fine and so I went on. The next today the car was driving like it was off alignment. I didn’t have time to switch cars nor drive all the way 1.25 hrs away to the nearest budget to get. A new rental. They didn’t offer any compensation except that I could switch the car out, which I had to pay for the gas there to switch it out and it took me over 4 hours with driving to get there switch it out and they made me fill up the tank again for my gas to get back to my location. I just think it is completely unprofessional to not offer road side assistance and specially when they knew that I had 6 teenagers that I was transporting and responsible for.Reviewed Jan 5 2026

Budget at CVG airport run out of stock and had no cars to honor my reservation. Giving the need for my family and the time of the day, I decided to accept a Tesla Y. I assumed the car came with an EV charger cable that could be used at home (I was staying at my In-laws). Next day, I checked and the car did not have any charging cable. I had to run to Tesla charging stations often because the car’s battery lost charge quickly and also took a lot of time charging. When I called customer service, the person indicated I had to go to the location I picked the car to get the charging cable. I was working remotely so my wife drove the car she borrowed from her parents all the way to the airport only to learn that Budget does not include the charging cables. She was told that a discount of two or three days could be coordinated with the manager upon return. The manager only provided a meaningless discount. In addition, the car had a problem with the trunk, which did not close automatically. The car was also dirty when I picked it up from the CVG airport. Our experience with Budget was terrible.Reviewed Jan 4 2026
