Good value. Car could have been washed, but that’s OK.Reviewed 15 Apr 2025

Budget was great. There was a problem with the car they initially assigned, but they promptly reassigned us a different car. Drop off was super easy and so really appreciate that as the last time I rented from a different company (also through Kayak) the experience was horrible, especially drop off. Based on that last experience I was a little nervous about another rental, but Budget was great! Will definitely use Budget againReviewed 24 Feb 2025

We reserved a car for about $270, but when we got there, they changed our car and the total ended up being $555. I understand there’s taxes and fees but the website isn’t transparent about that.Reviewed 19 Aug 2024

Picking up the car took over an hour despite having a reservation, the line was just wrapped around the building, and only one person was allowed inside per reservation. The issue is that everyone forgot to bring in their partners license to add them as a second driver, so they had to go back outside to get it which took a lot of extra time. I was also charged for an 1/8 of a tank of gas despite having filled the entire tank up a few blocks away. No one wanted to see our receipt for gas at all.Reviewed 19 Aug 2024
