10.0 Wonderful
I had a ten hr delay thanks to United Airlines. It was a rough day but getting my rental checked out at 10:00 PM was the easiest thing I dealt with all day. The gentleman at the counter was pleasant and made the whole thing simple. Thank you! The Jeep was fun to drive :)

2.0 Poor
We waited for over an hour and a half in line and still hadn't even made it to the counter. People who did make it, had to wait almost an hour for their car to be be available. We ended up taking an Uber to our event. Otherwise we would have missed it. Definitely do not recommend that office.

Got a hybrid EV Camry and it was great on the gas! Since gas prices at the pump are so out of control!

4.0 Mediocre
They did not have a car for me when I got to the airport. My flight was changed to a 10 pm arrival instead of 1200. I called Budget at midway and was assured I’d have a car. None was arrived when I arrived and their was no reassurance I would get one .

4.0 Mediocre
No car available at time of rental. Budget stated that they didn’t have time to get a car from time of booking the day before. Had to come back at the end of the day to pick it up instead of 1pm when it was booked

Quick and easy check in and check out.

10.0 Wonderful
There were 4 of us and we had a lot of luggage, too much for the mid sized suv we booked, fortunately the Budget agent was able to upgrade us to a slightly larger vehicle.

Every thing was good but the drop off. Did not have any direction where to park or an attendant to help with information.
A
8.0 Very Good
Airport shuttle, pick-up and drop-off were seamless. The vehicle was somewhat dinged up on the front passenger side, which is understandable. The only problem we had wa the vehicle experience an electrical malfunction and after the second day we were unable to use the back two doors and rear seat area. We probably should have called and swapped vehicles but chose not to do so. Otherwise the Toyota Corolla hybrid was an all around good vehicle.
