They booked the wrong car so I never got it and had to book with another company last minuteReviewed 2026 Aug 17

Pickup and drop off were a breeze and the clerk was friendly and efficient. Found my car easily and was off to my destination within 15 mins from walking up to the counter. Price was so so and the car smelled like weed (and air freshener) but otherwise a great experience.Reviewed 2026 Aug 16

Car rental process was perfect. Only recommendation is for Kayak to verify confirmation of the vehicle before it sends a confirmation vehicle. The original confirmed vehicle was not available, so we had to make separate accommodations.Reviewed 2026 Aug 15

Budget did not have a car ready for us when we made the reservation two months in advance. They sent us to the airport location and gave us a cigarette smelling car with a cracked windshield so we turned around and received a Chevy Traverse which was great. Alex helped us greatly and gave us some reimbursements due to all the trouble.Reviewed 2026 Aug 14

They denied my reservation unless I paid for a scam additional insurance despite the fact that the reservation had full CDW and LDW paid for. They ended up not honoring my reservation and leaving me stranded in the airportReviewed 2026 Aug 14

Took 45 waiting for key to vehicle. Man in booth decided to help people with directions at their car for 20 min. Bringing car back, there was no person there to receive the car. There was about 30 to 40 cars just lined up and we all just left the cars there, but there was so many they were going into the roadway. There was a guy just collecting our keys at the very front, but it was a fiasco.Reviewed 2026 Aug 14

SUPER BAD EXPERIENCE: I rented a car in Austria and returned it today on time. Now I just discovered that budget are trying to charge me €3144.79 what is this amount for? The car has not even a small scratch on it. I am now struggling with emails and they are not replying. So I paid the rental amount. The deposit of 569 euro is still stuck. On top of that they are trying to charge me 3144.79 euro for I dont know what.Reviewed 2026 Aug 14

The associate failed to include the eToll pass I requested at the pickup location, and the car's interior was in poor condition, notably missing floor mats and featuring heavily stained seats.Reviewed 2026 Aug 13

Felt like a bait and switch when the website gave me a Tesla Model 3 as the example of the car that would be available and then it turned out to be a Chevrolet Bolt with over 35k miles. The Bolt turned out to be a pretty good car, just not in the same category as a Model 3. The price was too good to be true in the first place so I should have known, I just don't like the bait and switch. The interior screen had big streaks on it and the Bolt takes forever to charge but the rest of the experience was pretty good.Reviewed 2026 Aug 13
