Price given by kayak didn’t reflect the price at the cash. Airport location is more expensive. I was charged $15 extra.Reviewed 2026 Sept 28

The original rental I was given had a heavy smell of cigarettes and pot. It was like a wall hitting me when I opened the door and I did not even get in the car. The Budget employee at the desk was very helpful and prompt getting me a different car but this should not have happened to begin with.Reviewed 2026 Sept 27

After I pre-paid and the booking was confirmed via text, I received a call from the counter at the budget location to let me know that they don’t have any cars. Fine, but the next frustration was they said they couldn’t cancel the reservation themselves and told me I had to call customer service and relay the fact that there were no cars. Why can’t the person at the counter cancel it themselves? When I called customer service I of course had to explain the whole situation and I ended the call feeling anxious. It’s frustrating that you are allowed to book a car online when they don’t actually have the inventory. It should not be this hard.Reviewed 2026 Sept 27

The staff at the Burlington office were constantly interrupting working with a customer to argue with other customers who were dropping off keys. At one point there was a stand still where nothing happened for a couple of minutes, I was too fearful to ask what was happening with my car because I thought they might blow up. The car was filthy, my water bottle rolled on the floor and it was so covered with dirt. The front window was covered with something that was difficult to see out of. I had to stop at a gas station to wash the windows. I couldn’t believe how filthy the car was. I appreciate the the price and the drop off location was better.Reviewed 2026 Sept 25
