It was nice that they upgraded me one level on the vehicle however it was not what I was expecting and this vehicle was a Toyota 4Runner and turned out to be a bit of a gas hog. If they were not so busy I may have gone back in and asked to be downgraded to a smaller vehicle as I did not need that size of a vehicle. The day after I picked up the vehicle I got in it and the low tire sensor light came on and the tire had 23 lb of pressure in it and I had to stop and put air in it. That was a Friday and the next day I had the same problem however the Budget locations were closed with the exception of the airport and I was too far away to drive back and swap the vehicle so I had to get air put in the tire daily as it appeared to have a slow leak and when I contacted budget my only choice was to take it back to the airport as no other locations were open. While I was waiting in line to pick up my vehicle there was another woman who was returning her vehicle for the third time in a matter of hours as every time she pulled off the lot she got a car that had the check engine light on apparently budget is not checking Vehicles before they go out check your dash carefully before you leave the lot or you will be returning for a new vehicle. Additionally when I called the budget roadside assistance they were the ones who told me I must take it back and that if I wanted somebody to come change out the tire that was faulty it would cost me $130 to do that which is ridiculous I did not cause that that was their problem. Probably not renting from budget again even though I have rented from this budget in particular many times. I think I will try somebody else in hopes that their service / vehicles are better

2.0 Poor

They failed to wait for the delayed flight while other agencies had reps there for their clients. We were forced to pay our own way to and from hotel to get back to pick up car in the morning. They should have delivered car to us. Drop off was easier but they could have combined the two reservations for the pickup on the second reservation. Again inconvenienced to have to come back to the airport to pick up another car for drop off at a different airport. HORRIBLE experience.

4.0 Mediocre

Julie, Jul 2025

The day before my rental I received a confirmation for 15 passenger van. When I arrived to pick it up they did not have one. I got a 12 passenger van instead and wasn’t offered a price adjustment. When I dropped it off I was the one who inquired about a cost difference between the two sizes and asked for an adjustment. This was very frustrating.
