Pros:Locating the car was easyCons: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!Reviewed 6 Feb. 2021

Reserved a car that wasn't thereCons:When I arrived to the rental location (at 10:30pm on a Sunday night) the counter was so backed up that I wasn't able to actually pick up a car until over an hour later. No other company at this airport had any line at all (Alamo, National, Enterprise, etc). When I did finally get up to the counter I was told that they only had my reservation in one of the computer systems, but not the other one. I have no idea what this was supposed to mean. They definitely had a record of my name and confirmation number, but they didn't have any actual car for me. I was told that if I wanted to leave I would have to upgrade my reservation to a larger vehicle for an additional $20/day. There was no other choice offered, so I basically was forced to do it. Really not recommended, just spend a little extra for a better company.Reviewed 26 Aug. 2017

Over charged for rentalPros:The vehicle.Cons:I returned the van way early but no one was there to receive it. Was instructed to leave the key in the van. I got an extra day rental charge for the vehicle, opened a case and a refund was refused. I'm not done with them yet though, so will see if I'd use budget again...Reviewed 5 Oct. 2018

WAY TOO EXPENSIVEPros:I liked how friendly the attendant was at Budget and how simple it was too rent the vehicle.Cons:The cost came to around $500 for 35 hours.... That is just outrageous. I will not be using this service moving forward. I had very limited options as it was Christmas but this cost was unacceptable.. I will be using GO Car which would have cost me $170 for 48 hours. I wish I found this service prior to going through Kayak which I loved using and was happy with up until this point .Reviewed 27 Dec. 2016

Cons:I know it was 2:00am but the representative did not great us; just typed on computer, left and went into the back, came back out - only said "drivers license" .. told me I had two reservations and when I tried to explain that I was out of the country and was afraid if I cancelled the first one, the second reservation might be cancelled as well... he just said "it doesn't matter" asked for my credit card - went outside, came back in, pointed to the screen and I went through checking off and signing. he handed me the papers and my cards back and said the care was in C9 -- No customer service skills (but, was very quick)Reviewed 2 Jun. 2017

Pros:The price, customer service, vehicle performance, value for money and ease to pick up and drop off.Cons:Budget center was closed when I arrived and it wasn’t clear that Budget and Avis operates from the same counter. After asking some airport staff “where’s Budget” it was all simple and easy afterwards.Reviewed 15 Sep. 2020

Pros:Car was as expected. Fast dropoff.Cons:30-minute wait to pick up at Budget office at JFK. After I dropped it off, I walked by the Budget office -- and again the line was almost out the door. They would seem to need more personnel during peak summer hours.Reviewed 21 Aug. 2017
