Book Budget car rentals in New York

Pros: Quick pickup.

Cons: The car I was given had a tire that started going flat once I was out on the road, and then I had to refill it several times. It was losing air fast enough that it should have been noticed. Dirty mirrors and windows. And there's an extra charge on my account now and I can't reach anyone at customer service to resolve it.

Cons: i was lied to on my kayak reservation

Pros: Yes

Cons: I ordered a compact car and was given an SUV. Budget likely regards this as an upgrade. I do not. I was over charged for refueling.

Cons: They didn’t have any economy cars available, so they required us to pay for the next class up. We were then given a car with only 12 miles in the tank, which made it pretty tense for getting out of Manhattan to a gas station in NJ

Pros: Drop off was super easy

Cons: Car needed to be cleaned. Workers needed to wear masks at all times.

Pros: Friendly staff, but that’s it.

Cons: Car died in the middle of the street in Midtown. Had to wait three hours for a tow truck that was promised in 90 minutes, in the freezing rain.

Pros: Pickup process took forever. Car didn’t have wiper fluid and there was salt on the streets so i couldnt see well. I had to stop at a rest stop to get water for the windshield. Quite dangerous.

Cons: Better organized pickup. It’s just such an ordeal every time.

Cons: Budget offices were closed at JFK New York and Providence Rhode Island, but these were not indicated in the booking confirmations. As a result, much time was wasted during the pickup at both of these locations (it turned out that we had to pick up at an Avis location instead). Unprofessional!

Cons: Only one person was working with the customers, I wait like one hour and a half for my car.

Pros: Locating the car was easy

Cons: I had to wait 45 minutes even though there were only 2 people in front of me. Car smelled like an ashtray covered up by artificial air freshener. It was nauseating during my 4 hour drive. The inside of the window was very dirty and dangerous once it got dark and oncoming lights made it more difficult to see. When i stopped at a rest stop the key battery to lock the car didn`t work and I had to leave my luggage unsafely in the car. When I dropped the car off no one was around, I had to walk around to find someone and the whole process was confusing and unclear. Terrible experience and not at all worth the expense. I should have been paid to drive that car!
