They cancelled my vehicle at 5pm the day before and left me to find another vehicle . That facility then let me know around 1030am , while we were confirming with another rental company. Very poor customer serviceReviewed 14 Dec 2024

I was unaware that a credit card was required for the pickup foe the vehicle I rented, I personally do not own any credit cards so it was a hassle during pick up, on the other hand the vehicle I rented was great, no issues at all and drop off was quick and easy.Reviewed 23 Oct 2024

After my flight was delayed and I didn’t get to the rental office till 1 AM. They told me because I was using a debit card. They couldn’t rent it to me nowhere did it say anything in the booking process? I couldn’t use a debit card so I waited six hours for another dealership to open so I could rent a car at the airportReviewed 16 Jun 2024

Budget in Houston went above and beyond during our rental experience to make sure we still made our international flight at IAHReviewed 15 Apr 2024

Experience with the San Antonio Budget airport staff was phenomenal. They were very accommodating and helpful. It was quite inconvenient that they did not have the car I reserved available because of a conference. I'm not quite sure what the point of booking a vehicle is if it's not held for you. I had to go back 2 days in a row after pick up to check if the car I booked was available. I eventually received it, but it was a hassle and interrupted my days.Reviewed 30 Jan 2024

My price was double the price quoted when I got to the rental counter. After standing in line for two hours. I decided to take a Lyft to see my mother at the hospital. I didn’t have time for last minute hustle and haggling. I would have spoken to a manager, but I was too frustrated and I needed to make good use of my time. As a professional, you should honor the price that you quoted your customer. It was a disappointment.Reviewed 12 Dec 2023
