The line to pick up the rental was unreal. Under-staffed, and it took well over an hour to pick up the vehicle. And the cost was too much for a small SUV.Reviewed 2026 Apr 21

I rented through kayak and thought I was getting a caravan. When I picked it up they said they had no vans as they were all in the shop. I was given a huge gmc Yukon Denali Nice car but too big for this grandma to drive and park. I took it but returned it 3 days later for a ford escape which was small. They were Nice about the return but the inventory was too limited. Big or small car. Easy rent and return.Reviewed 2026 Apr 20

The staff was friendly but the wait time was ridiculous. I did not get my car on time and paid for an extra day of rental which I shouldn't have been charged for due to getting my car later than I should have.Reviewed 2026 Apr 20

The car was severely damaged by hail at pickup. They tried to charge me $250 for a cleaning fee that once Budget corporate saw the photos showing that it was returned clean, they reversed. Will not be renting from this office again.Reviewed 2026 Apr 20
