I didn't like anything about this experience, I feel I was ripped off I lost one day of the rental and I spent 10 hours waiting to pick up a car after a very long flight! I didn't even get the car that I paid for. I'm really frustrated and disappointedReviewed 9 Jan 2026

No where listed that you had to be 25+ to rent an EV vehicle. I was put in a vehicle I did not want and also my drop off time was changed to an earlier time than I had listedReviewed 18 Dec 2025

Be careful when renting from Budget in LA. These guys add a “fuel option” to your bill — they say it will not be charged unless you return it with the fuel tank empty. This is NOT TRUE. If you bring it back full, they will still charge you the $100+ for the fuel option unless you physically go to the office to dispute the charge. The guy at the counter even told me that this is a way the guys at the counter “try to make more money” — so be aware.Reviewed 15 Sep 2025

Extremely long wait to pick up rental car!! It took about an hour and a half. Also saw a representative secretly taking random people in line to give them their rental car while everyone else waited. Absolute waste of time! Never expected this from an agency like Budget!Reviewed 1 Sep 2025
