the pressure applied at the izmir budget counter when you rent through a third party is not good at all. I regretted my decision of renting through kayak on budget and would just walk at the counter next time to see if others have better service. I tought coming through kayak would make it easier. It did NOT.Reviewed 27 Jan 2026

When I showed up to pick up my vehicle, the Budget agent informed me that he had no one-way rentals available even though I had made the reservation 10 days earlier through Kayak. He told me that they are a franchise, that he cannot control Kayak or it’s website, and that if I wanted a one-way rental, I would need to go to the airport. I explained that I intentionally made the reservation at an off-airport location so as to avoid the airport hassle. By Budget not informing me of this dilemma the time I had made my reservation 10 days earlier, my hands were strapped, and I had to instead purchase a one-way flight at the last second to go home (from LAS to PHX on Southwest for $279 and a day later). It appears that Kayak and Budget have a communication malfunction, and as a result, I have zero confidence in ever trying to rent from Budget again. If Budget would offer me a free 3-day rental to win back my trust and make amends for the unplanned expense and hassle that they caused me, I would consider giving them another chance. I will not accept a token marginal discount.Reviewed 25 Jan 2026
