They should tell people up front that they don't take debit cards instead of taking the reservations and then not giving them a car when they get to their destination and leaving them to scramble to find something else. Will NEVER use Budget again.

Claim that I scratched the tire and charged me $500. Asked for pictures and still have not received any. I took pictures of the car because there was no attendant at drop off. No signs of damage in my pictures.

2.0 Poor
Budget had no cars when we arrived on time for our pre-paid rental at MSY. After waiting in line with 15 other clients (other vendors had no lines) for over 40 minutes, the agent laughed and said that they had no cars and it might take FOUR HOURS. She had never addressed the line to announce this actionable information so that we could explore other options. This is unprofessional and unacceptable. Worst possible marks for Budget's vehicle scheduling system and agent training and professionalism. Budget hast lost a customer for life.

I like that pick up process of getting to choose which car I got and how easy it was to turn it back in
A
4.0 Mediocre
Terrible. They gave a car with faults. On the motorway we almost crashed. Returned the car after just 10 minutes driving and they tried to blame us. Next car was ok but really bad smell. Don't they clean or inspect them? Disgusting

2.0 Poor
Car’s engine turned into safety mode and we called support number. This emergency support was very poor, basically not working at all. Long messages in Italian, no feedback if you have got our message, not keeping responsetimes at all. After calling the support line we have no clue if Budget has got the information, what the next step will be, is anyone working on our case etc. After 1h waiting we got a telephone call. We entered all information in the app, but the operator did not have access to this information. Basically unbelievable poor service.

My booking was canceled day before without notifying me, + 2h before pickup I received an email from them saying your car is waiting for you.
