They did not have the car size I reserved but did give me a nice upgrade. The car was filthy and the gas tank was not filled. So I probably spent more on gas with the bigger vehicle due to a lower mileage rating but have to admit it was comfortable. Return was awful, they advertised online on their website that the office was open at 11:00 but the store the office was in did not open until 12:00 so I was stuck waiting an hour for the store to open to get access to the rental counter. When the attendant was questioned about that he said “well, I was here, take it up with the store”. And no, don’t ask, the drop box was inside the store too so that was not an option. If you were to ask if I would rent from Budget again, possibly, but not from this location.Reviewed 29 Apr 2024

everything was great, except for pick up. the service desk informed me that because my reservation was made for 2pm pick up time and I arrived at 110pm, the car was in the back of the lot and was not ready. I felt lucky to get the car at 139pm but it came only after being persistent. I felt like they were doing me a favor rather than providing great customer service. and the car had not been washed in daysReviewed 21 Apr 2024

There was long time to pick up the car. It took almost 1.5 hours to get the car. Car was not full tank but 7/8 tank. How do we fill up 7/8th of tank. Secondly, when we returned the car they charged us $60 for gas tank fill up despite i returned it 7/8th tank. I had to call customer service from airport. On phone they said you were charged because you did not return car full tank. I told them car was 7/8th tank and he wanted to see if I have photo proof (which i did) but I was like why do you need photo when contract says return car 7/8th, finally $60 was returned.Reviewed 22 Oct 2023
