Jul 2019
Pros:
Nothing - I was unable to make the rental because the hours of the rental car location were a lie.Cons:
The online hours listed for Budget Car Rental say it is open until 7 pm. However, when I arrived at 4 pm, there were no employees there. I waited for an hour, but no one showed up. I called the location, & it said "all of our employees are busy" - the store hours are a lie.8.4 Very good
Jun 2019
Pros:
Easy pick up, nice car.Cons:
There was no one at the counter mid-afternoon to receive my car. I waited for 20 minutes and then left my Budget key in the dropbox even though the box was only marked for Avis, not Budget.4.0 Mediocre
Oct 2018
Pros:
Ease of dropping off the car. Simply pulled into the lot adjacent to the terminal, parked, and dropped keys at counter.Cons:
The agent’s attitude when I mentioned that I was expecting a discount for returning the vehicle with more gasoline then when I picked it up. He immediately said that was not possible; even though, I was told differently by a Budget representative when I called the company’s customer service line earlier in the day. He also did not seem interested in my concerns regarding the cleanliness of the vehicle I noticed shortly after picking up the vehicle.2.0 Poor

Pros:
NothingCons:
The car given to me had very bad brakes and I was unable to drive the car. I took it back the next morning and they refused to give me a full refund for the car. It wasn't even the car I had intended to rent! The service was horrible at the counter and they didn't even have the car I wanted to rent. The customer sevice with Budget has been awful. I am still fighting to get my refund for the one day I did not even drive the car!!!9.2 Wonderful

Jan 2018
Pros:
Counter service was super nice and apologetic the type of car I reserved was unavailable.Cons:
The car I reserved was not available. Three new Subaru's in the lot would not start so I was given a just returned Nissan Versa. The car reeked of throw up and when I stopped down the road to fill up the gas tank which was on empty - I then saw the entire drivers side of the vehicle has throw up from the drivers window all down the car - now frozen in the lovely weather. It was a long ride from Mass to New York in a puke smelling tiny car.2 locations in Worcester
