The car was easy to pick up but had pressure to upgrade. The car smelled like smoke which was a definite turn off.Reviewed 2024 Mar 14

Service at the pickup desk in the airport was friendly and helpful. The line was not long. Access to the vehicles was convenient, and we did upgrade for a small fee to a larger and new SUV which made the trip more enjoyable.Reviewed 2024 Mar 14

I was rented an excellent car, with very few miles on it. It was a great experience. It was the cheapest price I could find, but it could have been cheaper.Reviewed 2023 Oct 09

When we arrived at the Budget counter there was 21 people in front of us. Would have been over an hour to get waited on. Had no choice but to cancel and book with Hertz. No wait and excellent service.Reviewed 2022 Oct 30

Pros:Pick up/ drop off was quick and easy.Cons:The car got a flat tire. I called the emergency roadside number and was told it would be at least 3 hours before somebody could get to the car. I put the donut on the car and spent the next 2 hours talking to customer service and getting rerouted to another person/number before I finally just gave up. Drove the car on the interstate with a donut on it over an hour back to the Budget office. Nobody at the desk so just left the keys in the drop box.Reviewed 2020 Jul 21
