Great customer service! Wish the location that wasn't at the airport was a little closer to the airport with how hard it was to get a ride to get my car before the office closed. Very friendly customer service though! Pricing was super reasonable!

The Drop off experience was horrendous. That is the fault of the raleigh Avis and not the one from Wilmington. Could not find the location that is in a mall with absolutely no signs outside to let you know which part of the mall to go to I sure hope they find my car as I literally had to drop it off to catch an airplane. I did find the location inside the mall miraculously and left the keys with only one person that was working the desk in the line with about eight people long. Never again Avis while I go to that location or maybe even Avis at all.

Staff was helpful but the 1990 technology was abmissmal. System crashed three times during pick up process. I felt bad for the employee. Can't believe Budget can still find ink for their dot matrix printers. Then after calling three months ahead for three infant car seats only to be told they have one and they 'weren't sure what to tell me'....um go buy some. I flew 500 miles without carseats. If you had disclosed you didn't have them I would have brought mine. Lord! Seriously reconsider Budget or Avis. I'll go back to Enterprise and pay a bit more.

We decided to get the car a few days earlier and changed the reservation with the help of customer service of budget itself. We also recieved a confirmation with the new data. As we tried to pick up our car we had to learn that the budget shop will not honor our reservation and that they have no car for us. Fur sure we had a lot of trouble to reorganize our whole trip.

Waited over 30 minutes. There was a group of about 10 ahead of me. One rep was helping people. A second Budget rep was sitting at the truck rental counter. After I had waited 15-20 minutes and a couple people got behind me in line he finally got off his butt and came over and helped the other guy process the large group. The Budget Avis lines at Charlotte (a separate rental) and Jacksonville airports (where I had to go because they had charged me for gas and the person checking the car in in the garage couldn't correct the mistake) were extremely long. I will do my best to avoid Budget/Avis in the future.

After several follow up calls on my part, and being assured the van was available, on the day of rental I received a call that the vehicle was not available.
