Didn’t have the car I ordered. Car they gave me hadn’t been cleaned and it was blocked in by 5 other cars, so took 30 minutes to get out.Reviewed May 22 2023

I booked the car, showed up, and they said they wouldn’t honor my booked reservation because they “weren’t doing same day rentals”. The agent was rude, unhelpful and dismissive. I’ll never book budget again. Enterprise had NO problem helping me out for a last minute same day rental. It’s obvious budget didn’t need my patronage so I’m fine to take my business elsewhere.Reviewed Mar 22 2023

We asked for no insurance as we carry our own. It was added and at $25 a day it added 25% to our total bill. As a courtesy the return assistant deducted $40.Reviewed Mar 7 2023

Showed up and they did not have the Ford a mustang car we reserved . At first they tried to offer an “upgrade” but that was a hybrid or Chrysler which is a joke. We ended up taking a Chevy Camaro. Car was filthy and covered in dust and bird poop. I returned the car full but they still charge me for 3 gallons of gas totaling over $35! It was a good deal for a sporty car but not worth the hassle and extra fees.Reviewed Jul 29 2022
