Didn’t have the car I ordered. Car they gave me hadn’t been cleaned and it was blocked in by 5 other cars, so took 30 minutes to get out.Reviewed 2023 May 22

I booked the car, showed up, and they said they wouldn’t honor my booked reservation because they “weren’t doing same day rentals”. The agent was rude, unhelpful and dismissive. I’ll never book budget again. Enterprise had NO problem helping me out for a last minute same day rental. It’s obvious budget didn’t need my patronage so I’m fine to take my business elsewhere.Reviewed 2023 Mar 22

I picked up in Santa Barbara, CA and dropped off in Reno, NV. The pick up and drop off was easy. The car was clean and ran well with no mechanical issues.Reviewed 2023 Mar 16

We asked for no insurance as we carry our own. It was added and at $25 a day it added 25% to our total bill. As a courtesy the return assistant deducted $40.Reviewed 2023 Mar 07
