The car had a faint smoke smell, so I assume a previous renter smoked in it. I wish people would follow the rules.

Pros:

drop off was easy, the rest of the experience was not good!!!

Cons:

make it more known that you are going to be closed at noon on a SATURDAY and not open on SUNDAY Some people can only travel on those days, honor the price agreed on, at a different location if not going to be open an the other location, and quit gouging people on the price, (prices were outrageous)

Pros:

Drop-off was fine

Cons:

I scheduled my location in May and the store had been closed since February. They moved my pick up 2 days prior to my trip and it was a $40 Uber ride to the location to get it.

The pick up and drop off system were both great. My only complaint is the car smelled like cigarettes and we had to get a car freshener to mask the smell. Other than that, everything else was good.

Other than the pushy attempt to upsell me, everything else was perfect. Car was clean, drop off was easy. Loved it.

Jeanne, May 2021

Pros:

Staff at the counter were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Our car's lift gate was not working properly. It would open and then shut. We were not going to ruin our vacation by taking it back to Budget to let them take time out of our vacation to fix. Thankful someone did not get hurt. Car needed to be checked over before releasing it to customers.

2.0 Poor

Patricia, Apr 2021

Pros:

It was quick. The drop off was easy.

Cons:

The Budget rep forced me to “upgrade” at the ticket counter since I was dropping the car in another location. (That was known when I placed the reservation.) She tried to get us to pay more for car I reserved or more for an upgraded car. I declined. She then said I had to pay for XM radio at $6 per day or the car I reserved couldn’t leave the lot. I was tired from traveling so we just swallowed it. When we got to the car, it had been smoked in, damaged on the body, and had 56k miles at the start.

Disappointing. The car broke down on the side of the highway 3.5 hours into a 14 hour drive. The roadside assistance department couldn’t come up with a solution any sooner than 6 hours of waiting on the roadside. I self-rescued and after securing a refund, Avis customer service did nothing to make up for the fact that their primary charter of renting a safe reliable car failed and had no compassion or interest in making up for the inconvenience and delays.

4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, May 2021

Pros:

We asked specifically for a car that seated 8 and we got a car that seated 7. There were no cars that seated 8 so someone had to ride illegally and unsafe the entire trip.

Cons:

The lady that helped at Pickup was not helpful on instructing drop off after hours. The car stunk. And giving people the amount of seating they request is pretty vital.
