They didn’t have a car ready for me. I waited over an hour, I had to ask an employee to have mercy of me and ask another company if they could lend them a vehicle. I rented a mini van because I had 3 car seats and 3 kids so I needed a bigger vehicle. I find it extremely upsetting that they made us wait that long to get a car we were confirmed for in advanced. There were about 25 people waiting for customers to return vehicles so we could grab them. It’s extremely disappointing and stressful when traveling. Also the budget employees were extremely slow, spending over 15 minutes with each person so someone from Avis pulled me to take care of my reservation and it took her 1 minute to do it. Also, why would you guys offer insurance, I booked it and then at the counter the employee says “that’s a third party you won’t have coverage” so why was that offered to begin with?Reviewed 22 Feb 2026

I ordered a compact SUV and received a Toyota Corolla. The budget office in Georgetown had experienced a bad flood and they were preparing orders on a car. They did not provide the SUV I reserved even though there was considerable snow in the streets still. When I returned the car seven hours later, the Budget rep asked if I knew the mileage by heart which I did not. I had just put $6.50 of fuel in the car based on my mileage. She charged me an additional $15 because the Budget rep on the phone when I saw the $80+ dollars for the $29 compact SUV never received. I provided via email my receipt and SUV reservation as he requested. Then, I receive a lousy $30 refund. I will never recommend budget but will retell the scam to many. Use ENTERPRISE. They are more accountable.Reviewed 21 Feb 2026

Fairly easy pick up and drop off. Car was ok - car navigation and music screen did not work and made drive a bit difficult.Reviewed 21 Feb 2026

They didn’t reserve my car. They said they couldn’t fulfill my reservation because I wasn’t returning the car to their location. The staffer was rude, unapologetic, and offered no other solution.Reviewed 20 Feb 2026

I feel ripped off. The daily price of the rental didn’t reflect the actual price, especially when you factor in insurance. I don’t recall insurance being an option to purchase in advance and had I known how much it would cost, I would’ve budgeted for the trip differently. After this experience, I will advise people against Kayak and Budget when renting vehicles.Reviewed 19 Feb 2026

Forced to upgrade when we arrived 30 minutes early because apparently original car wasn’t ready yet. Had dents on all sides. Bought extra insurance from kayak/priceline from email soliciting it. Budget didn’t accept that and forced us to put a $3000 deposit or buy their insurance after we already bought insurance through the booking company. Very rude staff. Car was 4 time than quoted rate. Charged us $130 for 1/4 tank of gas. Terrible experience.Reviewed 19 Feb 2026

I never got to rent because when I unered to pick up the car I was told I needed an extra 250. For a deposit. The app guided me thru and no deposit was ever spoken of. Also... I paid 36 for insurance and it was never refunded even though I never rented. Scam scam!!!!Reviewed 19 Feb 2026
