The supplier choice is apparently an EV even though I didn’t select the EV option. They require you to bring the car back charged. For a one day rental to the airport, that is not realistic. I was also charged for gas, which I had stopped near the airport and filled up. I eventually got a credit but the whole thing was a hassle and didn’t leave me feeling good about renting from Budget in the future.Reviewed 29 Apr 2025

Long line, and the wait was over an hour. They also scramble to get me a mini van. They were offering me another vehicle. I reserved the mini van weeks in advance.Reviewed 24 Mar 2025

everything was great, except for pick up. the service desk informed me that because my reservation was made for 2pm pick up time and I arrived at 110pm, the car was in the back of the lot and was not ready. I felt lucky to get the car at 139pm but it came only after being persistent. I felt like they were doing me a favor rather than providing great customer service. and the car had not been washed in daysReviewed 21 Apr 2024

There was long time to pick up the car. It took almost 1.5 hours to get the car. Car was not full tank but 7/8 tank. How do we fill up 7/8th of tank. Secondly, when we returned the car they charged us $60 for gas tank fill up despite i returned it 7/8th tank. I had to call customer service from airport. On phone they said you were charged because you did not return car full tank. I told them car was 7/8th tank and he wanted to see if I have photo proof (which i did) but I was like why do you need photo when contract says return car 7/8th, finally $60 was returned.Reviewed 22 Oct 2023
