Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Brooklyn
When you book with Budget car rentals in Brooklyn, keep in mind that there are a few different car models that you can choose from which might be particularly convenient for certain activities. For example, an economy or compact vehicle often comes in handy when driving through Brooklyn, as it makes it easy to maneuver through traffic and park in tighter spaces. For larger groups or those that are traveling with a lot of luggage, you may want to opt for an SUV or van instead.
One major benefit to booking with Budget car rentals in Brooklyn is that you can select the company’s optional Extended Roadside Assistance. This service means that if something pops up that isn’t normally covered by basic insurance, like a key replacement, running out of gas, or a flat tire, you will immediately receive help without paying an additional fee. Choosing this service will make your trip stress-free and let you focus on having fun.

Keep in mind that if you would like to benefit from this, you will need to let the company know in advance and potentially fill out additional paperwork as well as pay a small fee.

Am I able to pick the model of car from Budget in Brooklyn or will I be assigned a vehicle by the company?
When you book a car rental through Budget in Brooklyn, you will usually have the option to pick the specific car that you would like to book. However, this typically depends on availability at the time. If they have the specific model that you have requested available, they will provide you with this car. If the model is not available the company will then provide you with a similar model instead, which may be from a different auto manufacturer than the one that you had originally requested.

If you are in need of transportation between your selected rental branch and a secondary location, Budget offers a free pick-up service to bring you directly to and from their offices.

Waited a full hour in a line in a dark, dirty car garage to pick up rental. Definitely the worst pick-up experience ever and will avoid at all costs in the future.Reviewed 21 Oct 2024

It was clear vehicles are not cleaned or evaluated for road worthiness between rentals. First vehicle I rented had such a bad cigarette smell it was unbearable to sit in the vehicle. They had tried to put in air fresheners in the vehicle, but that only made the smell worse. In addition there was paint pen writing on all the windows, not sure the reason behind this. I had to ask the attendant to remove the paint on the windows otherwise it would have been unsafe to drive. I requested a vehicle change because this one was unsatisfactory. They didn't have any other vehicles in stock so I had to go to another location to change the vehicle for a new one. Once I drove 45 mins and picked up the second vehicle that new one immediately had issues. One of the tires had a slow leak and it cause met to have to stop 3 times to refill the tire on my way to my destination. Again this vehicle was unclean as well. One of the seats was covered in syrup. Overall a poor experience and I will not be renting from them again.Reviewed 13 Oct 2024

Got there and they didn’t have CARS! Not just didn’t have the car I had “reserved”. They had NO CARS AT ALL. So it completely threw a wrench at all my plans because I could get anything, had to scramble to try to make it on time to my friend’s wedding in PA (didn’t make it on time). Overall TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The lady from the office there didn’t seem to care not even a little. Didn’t provide options, call other offices to see if someone else had a car, nothing. I will of course never be trying to rent there again and maybe recommend this to somebody I really despise.Reviewed 23 Sep 2024

The location was easy to get to. The price was great. The car had just been washed when I picked it up- there was still water dripping from it. I was not warned about the extra deposit at pickup but it was refunded the day I returned the car.Reviewed 20 Oct 2023

Vehicle in poor condition / high prices / rude service at counter (quoted higher price than in my email confirmation and would t show me breakdown before transaction was processed on card — budget later refunded me for this unbelievable scam at counter)Reviewed 11 Sep 2022

Pros:They charged me the wrong price (over $600 more). They told me they'd fix this but still have not. The display was broken (kept restarting), including the backup camera, which is a safety issue. And then the battery died. They couldn't get a towing truck there for 4 hours. And refused to book me a Lyft to the airport. I had to pay out of pocket, and we'll see if they refund me that price, or if I have to do it through my credit card company. Literally went wrong every step of the way, and they handled it terribly every step of the way.Cons:EverythingReviewed 20 Apr 2021

Pros:Eventually I got a car. It ran fine.Cons:Counter staff tried to up-sell me on everything. Initially, he told me that there were no cars like what I reserved. (I reserved a compact) tried to get me to take a pickup truck or sports car for significantly more money. told me that the extra insurance I purchased wasn't worth anything and that I should buy their extra insurance on top of that. He finally "found" a car (larger than the one I wanted) and told me the wrong floor of the garage to go and get it. This all added 20-30 minutes to the pickup process. Inspecting the car was difficult because the garage was too dark to see anything. After leaving, I noticed a dent on the roof, dirty seats, and a slight smell like someone had been smoking in the car but then it was covered up with an air freshener. Also, their tolls policy is written strangely, possibly to convince you to opt into their overpriced unlimited tolls service.Reviewed 2 Apr 2021

Pros:Staff very helpful.Cons:Not many people working, so line moved slowly. But it's a pandemic. That was probably just a safety precaution, which is appreciated.Reviewed 5 Feb 2021
