There were no cars available when I arrived. I waited in the airport for 2 hours. Can there not be something reserved when we make reservations?Reviewed 15 Mar 2026

The people were nice. But had to wait nearly an hour for the car. On the other hand, got a good, free upgrade.Reviewed 21 Feb 2026

Waited in line for 40 minutes only to hear they had no cars on site for reservations, so I did not get a car. I had to Uber.Reviewed 11 Feb 2026

We were provided what should have been a nice SUV, but once we spent a little time behind the wheel, it was apparent that the truck had serious transmission slipping. Every gear change felt like the whole engine might fall out of the vehicle. Our pickup was Christmas Eve, so we returned the truck on Christmas Day and we were told there were no other large vehicles available. We were then told we couldn't get a refund at the counter and that we would need to call the main number. We did that and filed a case and requested a refund and we were only given back half of our fee. I filed another case and asked for the rest of the money and haven't gotten a response after 5 days. I'll keep trying.Reviewed 5 Jan 2026

I had made a reservation and had a budget confirmation number. When I arrived at the desk to pick up my car, the clerk said that budget does not honor reservations made the same day, because they have to prioritize other customers. I had an hour and 15 minute drive ahead of me to a town where my high school friends funeral was occurring the next day, and it was too late for any other options.Reviewed 2 Jun 2025

Had a reservation for a car. After an hour in line they said they didn’t have a car for me. It was midnight and there were no other vehicles at other rental car facilities. Had to spend 3x the money on Uber.Reviewed 16 May 2025
