It was very difficult to find the office. It turns out it was inside a mall and there is no sign anywhere outside or inside the mall telling you where it is. We had to ask several workers at other shops in the mall - although we weren’t even sure it was even in there! Never had such a frustrating experience trying to rent a car. Once we found the counter everything went smoothly. The woman said they are not permitted to hang signage (!?)Reviewed 2022 Oct 28

When I rented the car I told them I wanted to pick it up at the Ashville Airport. When trying to pick up the vehicle I was told that my car was at a different location. I had to get a taxi which I had to pay $55.00 for. Also the car was dirty and the gas tank was not full. I was told that I could not drop the car off at the airport without paying $250.00 fee. Because of My early flight I was forced to dod this. My experiance with Kayak Sucked Big time. I would never use Kayak again.Reviewed 2022 Oct 25

Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Asheville

  • When you make the choice to book Budget car rentals in Asheville, you offer yourself the opportunity to explore this amazing part of North Carolina on your own schedule. If you're exploring the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway or embarking on outdoor adventures in the Appalachian Mountains, an SUV or a crossover can provide ample space and comfort for both passengers and luggage. For those navigating the city's vibrant downtown and historic districts, a fuel-efficient compact or midsize car might be more suitable, making parking and maneuvering through city streets more convenient. Additionally, considering the region's diverse weather conditions, especially in winter, opting for a vehicle with all-wheel drive can enhance safety and stability on mountain roads.
  • Budget Car Rental provides a loyalty rewards program known as Budget Fastbreak, offering fantastic advantages for those who book Budget car rentals in Asheville.
