And in school zones and neighborhoods, the speed limit drops even further to 15 mph.

There are two main ways to do it: you can find a garage and pay for it, or you can just park on the street. If you're going to be in Surprise for a while, we recommend looking into garages. Garage parking can be expensive but if you're in town for a while and don't want to worry about moving your car every few hours or overnight, it's probably worth it to lock it up in a garage.

James was an excellent representative. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I needed to change my reservation, both dates and size. He made the whole process easy and pleasant. I wish all such representatives would be like he was.

Passenger van

I paid for and rented a vehicle that I desperately needed and was contacted 10 minutes before every other rental company closes to let me know that the vehicle I saw online, booked, paid for, and was expecting to pick up, did not exist. Not only did they not have the vehicle, no other location in the city had one, and there was no similar vehicle to substitute. This meant that I now had no vehicle, no time to find one anywhere else from another location or another company and I was forced to scramble last minute, to spend more money to rent a vehicle that was not air conditioned, that put more stress in my life, added more work to my already overflowing plate, and put my business and the lives I save at risk of heat exhaustion (which occured and I had to again scramble to find a solution that added 3 more hours to my day and stressed everyone involved to the max.) This was a horrible experience, I thought using your service would cut my search time way down, shaving hours off my research and would make my life easier. It did just the opposite and now I have to figure out if I was charged, how to cancel and be refunded a rental that said non-refundable, and convince my team that I am not the one who botched this. I will never use your service again and would never recommend anyone else use it either. The time it takes to search and book directly through a company instead of your third party is well worth the hassle, disappointment, complications, tarnished reputation and risk to health that occured by booking through you and not directly through them.

In Reno, we found a bubble on one tire so we went to Enterprise and got in another car. That experience went well also.

It took over an hour to get a car. They took my information and I waited for them to get to me. I went it the drop-off line and then had to hunt someone to check me out. They need more help on Sunday.

Our check in agent was extremely cordial, knowledgeable and patient. I had a problem with my pin and he found a solution by doing a manual transaction which was most appreciated. Car return was equally good. Basically drop keys and and run. Thank you Budget.

Had a 12 PM rental time on Saturday, but they close at 12. Got there a few minutes early and they were already closed. When I attempted earlier in the week to move my appointment up an hour to 11 I was told I’d be charged, so I kept the 12pm time. How can you expect to pick up the car at 12 if you are not open past 1150? Horrible.. Did not get my car and will never use them again
