Good as a whole. Pickup was dreadful. It took almost an hour and fifteen minutes to pick up car. There were not enough people working and they couldn’t seem to find the cars that had been reserved. It was better for me than the folks who had prepaid because their cars weren’t ready and they were very angry. Budget knew how many people had reserved cars and yet they couldn’t pull it off. The wait was unacceptableReviewed 21 Oct 2024

Flight was delayed, the budget employee called saying to pick up the car from the airport instead because they would be closed. He said he told them and reserved us a car. We got there and no car was saved and no communication. We ended up having to pay budget $500+ more in the reservation for the car. Which was dirty, trash left in the car.Reviewed 24 Sept 2024

Long pick up line. Little information from agent on Tesla utilization (charging, charging rates…in small print contract but nothing to drive me to read slower or longer despite me saying I’d never rented a Tesla). Car was dirty. Charged barely above the limit.Reviewed 2 Sept 2024

Ever got a car. The line was at least three hours to get to the front. Apparently, they way oversold what they had available. I ended up renting with Dollar who had cars.Reviewed 27 Aug 2024
