They rented us a car to pickup on a day that they were not open and then would not change the reservation to a location that was open. Eventually I got the reservation changed to the airport, when I got there the line was 15 people long and after 10 minutes of waiting only one person was serviced. I went to another car rental agency and rented a car for $40 dollars more.2.0 Poor

I dropped off at a different location. On the web site as well as the paper work it said the Budget office was at a Best Western Hotel. Not familiar with the area , I was looking for the Best western not an address. The Hotel had changed ownership and the name was different. I tried calling the office and was transfered to National Budget hdqrs and they could not help me. So I finally located the address on the NEW Hotel!!!Avis

When they see you are a Kayak/Priceline customer there is NO customer service. The little I saved by going thru them they literally screwed me with the insurance. You can pay for the car at the counter but NIOT the insurance! You are not told that up front. The staff was most unhelpful. They never showed me tthe car or went over anything - no time for Kayak/Priceline customers at all!8.8 Very good

May 2021
Pros:
Drop off was on day office closed and was easy. Just write down mileage, date and time returned. .Cons:
Office closed at 5pm and pick up was scheduled for 5pm. When I got there a little late due to lack of signage for pick up and traffic, they were closed and it cost me a day of vacation. No number to call or anything. When I called Hertz, it went to National line and they wouldn’t help me because I booked through Kayak. When I went the next morning to pick it up, I mentioned it to the counter person and she was rude about it and not concerned.4.0 Mediocre

Oct 2020
Pros:
It was a convenient location for us.Cons:
Our car was not available so they “upgraded” us but it wasn’t really what we needed in terms of luggage space. The car was clearly not cleaned before we got it, which besides being gross is also a Covid concern. Plus the gas tank was only 3/4 full. We were not given any sort of compensation for the gas shortage, just a shrug and a comment to put it in our survey.10.0 Wonderful
Aug 2020
Pros:
I got a sweet little Nissan Rogue - exactly what I wanted. It was a brilliant little car for my trip. It was perfect. The people at the little rental center were very nice - and efficient. I got the best price and I compared the costs with other rental companies.Cons:
Let folks know that this rental office is located INSIDE the hotel! That's itMayfair
