I booked my car for $170 but have charged $400 at the end! Person decided to add all extra protection without informing me! Even though I have cancelled all of them while i was booking the car..

8.0 Very good

Having read previous reviews, I was pretty scared, but to my surprise everything went quite well. Everything was explained and made understandable. Only thing that ruined the full experience was driving out of the parking garage. It was really narrow and last turn was so hard to make with the car that I rented so I curbed one rim and horror movie started to play in my head. Just to be sure I took full coverage to the car and I wasn’t charged. Staff was also very friendly at the pick-up and drop-off. Overall it was good experience with Budget.

One of the worst places to pick up a car. Expect very few staff and hour long wait time.

6.0 Okay

Bill, Dec 2025

Check in was quick and painless accept that there was only one customer agent. She was quick and efficient. The car was undesirable. It had been scratched down three panels on the left side and marked with permanent felt tip. The car was unwashed or vacuumed. The ride was loud and had a tire noise usuallly related to unbalanced wheels. I was not told about the damage before I went outside to the car. The return agent was good.

I did not enjoy waiting an hour to get a car I couldn’t charge and having to run around as they kept giving away my car when I showed up for my original reservation
