Pros:The workers tried to help.Cons:Their rental desk in Seattle was closing at 1 AM, but I was not made aware of this during my rental, so I almost missed the opportunity to pick up my key. Once I had my car, I was unable to leave the parking lot since the barricade/gate was across and the power was somehow turned off to that portion of the exit. I sat in my car for nearly an hour while the staff and security worked to find a key or way to manually remove the barricade or find another way out of the rental car area. Eventually power came on and they were able to release me and my rental car at about 2 AM.Reviewed 17 Feb 2021

They don't guarantee your carCons:I arrived at the dealer to pick up my car in line with my noon time reservation. There were no cars available. There was nothing they could do -- this is their "corporate policy", they don't guarantee the car for the time you reserved. Since I rented the car to do an airport pick up (and timed it as such), I asked if there were cars at the airport and if they could transfer my reservation there -- it doubled the cost to do so and there was no way for them to maintain my rate as "that's corporate policy." They would however be able to cancel my reservation (though I paid for the insurance through a third party and that money would have been lost). Before me, they'd turned away another customer. Lucky for me I saw someone walk in and asked if they'd be returning a car. I was able to get this car but only after they confirmed it was in the same class/rate. I find this unacceptable customer service.Reviewed 19 Jun 2016

Pros:The staff member was not pleasant. Tried to sell and after declining he refused service.Cons:Fire him. Clearly he was having a bad day or just doesn’t like his job. He should be fired or put in the back where he is away from customers.Reviewed 27 Jan 2021

Pros:Drop-off was easy and the car was functional.Cons:Neither the car’s interior or exterior had been cleaned. There was trash in the cup holders and the interior surfaces clearly hadn’t even been wiped down. The exterior hadn’t been washed. The car was missing all four tire nozzle caps.Reviewed 18 Jun 2020

Cons:I booked on Kayak and printed out my confirmation sheet with the total being $48.15 for one day rental. When I left the counter at Seattle the total was much higher without changing any part of the reservation. The new total was $95.26. I was in a hurry and didn't have my eye glasses to dispute it. After searching for my car which was under an AVIS sign (apparently you had to know they are all one company) which was frustrating I got in the car to find out the fuel tank was half full with gas. I stopped at the counter and the person reprinted my rental agreement indicating that and he told me to return the car with a half tank of gas. The next day I realized that I would be late returning the car so I stopped by the budget rental and the lady rebooked me for another day instead of extending this reservation. It was cheaper and she quoted me at $48 dollars. When I got the final bill on my statement the total was $197.93 almost double as I was told or my reservation has. I learned that Budget has hidden costs and not to assume that your original agreement is valid.Reviewed 13 Jan 2017
