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
