Look, “budget” is in the name and I had low expectations. I have a feeling that if they paid their workers better they would be friendlier.Reviewed 11 Mar 2026

This is the second year that I have rented a car at the West Palm Beach airport from Budget. This is also the second year that I have had to wait at least 30 minutes in line to do the paperwork and another 30+ minutes to actually have the car delivered. I thought last year might be a fluke, but unfortunately it is not. that location is extremely disorganized and understaffed. I will definitely not be renting from budget next year.Reviewed 11 Mar 2026

An hour in line to pick up at 10:00pm is not ideal, but after reaching the garage and the car not being there is unacceptable.Reviewed 10 Mar 2026

I ended up paying almost double the prepaid amount. Much of that is my fault for forgetting car seats but hidden fees made up the rest. Getting the car was also a hassle as there was a mix up between what car I was assigned and what was in the actual spot. The staff person was not particularly kind in assisting me.Reviewed 10 Mar 2026

We never received a car. When we got to the budget counter they told us they had been trying to contact us but didn't have the correct number. I'm not sure how that's possible since we provided it to kayak and through the website qeeq should have had it. We received no phone call, no email or text. The person at the counter told us that we would not be charged because they would not be running the credit card so we needed to do nothing further when we arrived and they did not have a car. We have now been charged by q e e q for a rental we did not receive. This is our first time through kayak, what a complete disaster.Reviewed 10 Mar 2026

We waited for over two hours to get our rental car at St. Thomas airport. 30 mins in line just to sign paperwork and then another 1.5 hours waiting for the keys, after we were told it would be a 45 mins wait. Desk agents were very rude. They continued to tell other customers in line that there was a 45 mins wait knowing that was a lie. We feel like we were being lied to or scammed. I will be sharing this experience on social media and We will never book with this company again. If you would like to discuss this further you may contact me at 8139199467. Thank you.Reviewed 10 Mar 2026

Full of surprises, they take me out the airport zone to an office where they told me that i need to pay a lot more in insurance REALLY A LOT MORE, then I refused cause that new price far away from the price i saw when reserved and I asked for they to take me back to the airport and they said they were too busy. I better made a walk in to HERTZ and get a car there.Reviewed 10 Mar 2026
