• Am I able to pick my own Budget car rentals in Cleveland, or will I be assigned a vehicle by the company?

  When you first make your reservation with Budget, you will be asked to select the specific car model that you would like to receive. It’s important to keep in mind that you are not guaranteed to receive this model, as this will entirely depend on the availability of the fleet for the specific branch that you choose to rent from in Cleveland. If the branch cannot provide you with the vehicle that you have requested, you will be provided with a similar vehicle instead. However, it may not be a vehicle from the same auto manufacturer that you had first chosen.

The car I got had a wheel/bearing issue making constant noise, when I called about it they said I was outside my return window and that if anything happened to call emergency roadside... The tire felt and sounded like it was rubbing and grinding and I was worried they would think I caused it...Reviewed 2025 Jun 05

Slow process in getting into the car, as site cleaned cars as you wait for it, instead of ahead of time. Nowhere to sit while you waitReviewed 2025 Apr 14

Pickup and drop off was great. All fees were noted upfront. Only thing is it was a lot more expensive to rent a car. About 3 times more expensive than I expected.Reviewed 2024 Sept 29

Lady at counter was really nice but it took over 30 min to get car because flight was late so I picked it up next morning and rate was way higher. It took forever to straighten that out and almost made me late for what I rented car for.Reviewed 2024 Jun 18

The car was filthy dirty when we picked it up had a cooler and parts from the car in the back and when we dropped the car off, the agent was the rudest person I’ve ever dealt with in my lifeReviewed 2024 May 27

Car was dirty, dusty and smelled like old rental car smell. Maybe it’s been in rotation too long. 37K miles. Sounded like an old taxi cab in NYC when I hit a bump or I applied the breaks. Will definitely stick to Sixt or Hertz. Much more reliable car quality and experience. Saving a few bucks wasn’t worth it in this case.Reviewed 2024 Apr 11

Good service & value. Exit was very confusing: green lit “customer” exit was not accessible. Red lit gates were the real exit, unclear at night.Reviewed 2022 Oct 29

My biggest complaint would be the run around I got with the pickup to where I had to go back home and come back cause it wasn’t told to me until I got there that I couldn’t use my debit card and I needed to go thru a credit check before I could rent the vehicle. Good thing it was sorted out with the unfortunate raise in the cost but afterwards everything was fine, even though the time wasted was stressing initially.Reviewed 2022 Oct 25
