The Toyota Corolla and staff service were excellent; however, the original amount quoted at the time of the rental was a total of $112 and the recent bill being charged to my account is significantly more at $129.94. The final bill with the higher amount was emailed to me rather than provided when I returned the car so I was not informed of the increase at the time and could not request an explanation. Please reduce the charge to the original amount or provide a clear explanation

This was the worst experience I’ve had with Budget ever, at any location. 1. It was very important that I have a large SUV and they did not have the size of vehicle I requested available. 2. I was passed back and forth between an employee and a manager with little communication as to why. It was very confusing and time-consuming. 3. Although I’ve been a long time Budget customer, my information was re-input into the computer (taking even more time) . I’m also a FastPass member. 4. It sounds like there’s a disconnect between customer reservations and car availability at locations. THERE SHOULDN’T BE.

They were out of cars I didn't get my rental. Waited 40 minutes in line to be told there were no cars left.

Drop off was very hectic. First time to Huoston airport. Tried to return the car quickly as I had a flight to catch . Couldn't locate budget easily. It took me 40 minutes to figure out where exactly they were. I wish if there were clear instruction of their drop off location rather than the address they provided which accommodates dozen more rental brands. However , pickup in Austin was hassle free and exceptional.

Van was not ready cause of a smell they were trying to air out. 30 minutes later the van was still not there. So it must be an awful smell and I booked the van a month ahead. G

We waited in line for over an hour... there was 1 customer service agent and about 30 people in line. We reserved an intermediate SUV but were given a compact SUV, then told the compact SUV was in the same category as the intermediate. The reason I reserved the intermediate SUV is because I need a blindspot indicator and that is something that has always come standard with an intermediate SUV. The compact SUV category does not have this. Anyway, I tried to get a different car and they refused. The customer service agents were unhelpful. I called Avis, who acquired Budget and they basically told me to get lost over the phone. It was a disappointing experience to say the least so I won't be renting from Budget/Avis again if I can help it.

The staff was absolutely terrific. The type of vehicle we needed was not available(exposition)The staff upgraded the reservation to get us a bigger Van to comfortably accommodate 5 adults a baby all the extra luggage.

The car and rental was good.. upon returning the car i had some pictures of some slight damage. U couldn’t see it very good in the pictures cause of the sun. It seemed to me the girl checking the car thought i did some very minor scrapes. I guess i will see when they take the payment off of my750.00 deposit. I asked if i needed to sign anything and she said no that i could go with no paperwork. I thought that it was odd. So i hope all goes well. The car was great. Ran great and good on fuel
