First of all the car was filthy. Dirt on the floor stains on the seats and used toothpicks stuck on the door. For as much as we paid that was ridiculous Charlene harbin 5025238713Reviewed 23 Apr. 2024

Loved it. The wait time at the Budget counter was longer than I would have liked. I had to wait for a car to be prepped as there was a shortage of SUVs when I arrived.Reviewed 18 Mar. 2024

Dropped off vehicle at 6:05 PM at the location. No one was there, however, there was no box to leave the keys. There was a box that said, for trucks only and not to leave the car keys. I had no choice but to leave the car keys in the truck box. would I run there again? Absolutely not. Very frustrating. I was there 45 minutes trying to figure out what to do. No one would answer the phone and when I talk to someone on the phone, it took me a half hour to wait to get to someone. Too much time out of my day, and my time is valuable.Reviewed 16 Feb. 2024

Unfortunately I left my house key on the rental car keys and it’s impossible to get through to speak to someone when you call the Budget phone at the SW Florida international airportReviewed 30 Jan. 2024

the drop-off early in the morning, to a dark unlit area the drop-off box was crammed with keys, and was just barely able to get it in the slot.Reviewed 30 Oct. 2022

After looking at my credit card statement I realized that I was overcharged. Since no one would answer the phone st the rental location I had to call the 1-800 number. After waiting on hold for 15+ minutes, the agent tells me I was charged for the damage loss waiver, which I had clearly declined, as I had a copy of the rental agreement in my hands. First she told me she was unable to refund me, then she offered to refund me 50% of the damage loss waiver cost. She finally refunded me the cost of the damage loss waiver, after I told her I was holding the rental agreement in my hands. I will try to avoid Budget next time I need to rent a car. Trying to rip off unsuspecting customers, not nice!!!Reviewed 23 Aug. 2022

Cons:Too much time spent up selling. At 10pm, I want to pick up and move on. Not stand in line while others face up selling and I rehearse my lines to address my own up selling. Even pizza carry out was closed by the time we reached our accommodations...Reviewed 17 May 2021
