Terrible. I recommend avoiding Budget in Baltimore. They first promised a car at noon from a downtown Baltimore location. When I arrived to pick it up, they told me my car wasn’t ready but maybe would be in an hour. An hour later, still no car, and the downtown location was closing at 2. They suggested I contact Budget and change the pickup to the airport, which I did. The person I talked to changed my reservation and promised a confirming email. I never got the email and when I arrived at the airport location, the line there was about 10 long and wasn’t moving. Eventually , I got a car at about 330 pm.Reviewed 2024 Jul 17

I reserved a van over two months ahead of time. They called me at 8 PM the night before I was going to pick it up and told me there is no van. I had to go with a different company the next morning and pay twice as much. Making a reservation apperently does not reserve anything - be aware of this.Reviewed 2022 Oct 12

Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Baltimore

  • Drivers looking to rent a vehicle in Baltimore through Budget will want to keep in mind the road and traffic conditions of the city. Driving in Baltimore is relatively straightforward, with its roads' grid-like pattern making navigation easy despite many one-way streets. However, congestion during rush hour, which occurs on weekdays between 4 pm and 7 pm can be heavy. Traffic can be equally backed-up during Orioles and Ravens game days. Be sure to check a local events calendar in order to avoid traveling during these periods. If you must be on the road during these times, we recommend choosing the most compact car to meet your needs. This will be helpful while navigating clogged highways, and will also make parking in the city’s downtown region much more simple.
  • Visitors to Baltimore will be pleased to know that Budget keeps the eco-conscious traveler in mind with their range of eco-friendly, low-emission vehicles. These vehicles are designed to minimize environmental impact while providing efficient and reliable transportation options. Budget's eco-friendly fleet often includes hybrid cars, electric vehicles (EVs), and fuel-efficient models.
