The pickup was a little hard bc there was no one to show me where the car was and the lot was blocked off and difficult to get out of. But the car itself was great. A little pricey.

The inside of the windshield was absolutely filthy when I got the car. I mean REALLY bad. I had to stop at the store and buy glass wipes to clean it as I had trouble seeing through it when driving into the sun. The electric tailgate didn't work and would only open or close the gate part-way. Other than that the car was good.

I ended up getting a car from another company because the line was ridiculously long at Budget- longer than 2 days previously when my friend waited at least an hour to get to the front. There were also people waiting for cars out by the car pick up.

I reserved a car. They did not reserve me a car. The only vehicles they had were pick up trucks. My experience was awful. The attendant at the rental counter had a rude, “Take it or leave it” attitude and did not care that I am 74, 5’3” tall and weigh 105 pounds and had reserved a car. He said it was too bad. I was not given a receipt on pick up so I had no paperwork. Additionally, I paid my “TOTAL RENTAL AMOUNT” at the time of reservation and they increased the amount by $112.56 at the time I turned my truck in. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RENT a VEHICLE FROM BUDGET! I WILL NEVER DO SO AGAIN.

Got the 1st car and the screen didn't work so at 11:30 pm I'm changing cars and then when I went to drop the car off, I was charged for the second time. Still not refunded told I have to send in proof, so I did. I was told when I picked the car off, I paid upfront which I knew I did, so I don't' understand why I was charged again.

Absolutely terrible experience the other day at this site. The Budget counter was unmanned. Sign stated to use the Avis desk, which only had one rep on duty. Significant line/wait. I was in line for 45 minutes waiting for a car, and after finally getting a car assignment, went upstairs to find that another patron had been given the same car, forcing the other patron to go BACK into line again. I returned the car with a full tank of gas and was still charged 31.97 for fuel service. I will never, ever, rent from Budget ever again.

We needed extra handicapped assistance, clerk went and got the SUV and pulled it up front so we could load. That really helped. Fast and friendly staff. Would use again.

Car was ready, clean, ran well. Pick up and drop off was smooth. Great experience.

I am normally a very patient person as it pertains to the service industry as I have been in the service industry for a number of years. But this particular location was sub par across many spectrums. They only had 2 desk staff to handle the rentals on a Sunday. There was construction (painting) going on at the same time as people leaving and coming which caused confusion with no signage or instructions. Just yellow tape everywhere. Average wait time for each party to get a rental car was about 25 minutes, where other rental car companies can get this done in 5-10 minutes and some in less than 2 minutes via a kiosk so I don’t understand how Budget hasn’t looked at a better onboarding of customers. The major point of all this is that their Point of sale system and procedures only allows inserting the chip of a credit card. I explained to the desk salesman that the insert functionality doesn’t work you will need to tap or swipe. He said well then you are out of luck. No solution, no other option. We have a credit card but no reservation. I booked through Kayak so if we paid via kayak then what would be the difference of being able to insert chip or not. This was the cherry on top. I get procedures must be followed but when your point of sale system does have the swipe, how in the world can budget say no to that capability. We went to enterprise 5 minute walk and were in and out with a rental car in less than 10 minutes. Budget needs to reflect on their POS systems and train their employees to be solution oriented.

These are the best prices for 8-15 May.
