I was not given the car that I reserved. Instead the attendant switched me to a car that he told me was just dropped off from the East coast of FL where there was an apparent gas shortage. He told me that there was a quarter tank left and that I could return it with the same amount of gas. I got in the car and there was less than 30 miles to empty. The mileage and gas on the paperwork was incorrect, and they were too lazy to go get gas in the car, so they pawned it off on me instead of giving me the rental I reserved. I also wasn't told that the business closes early on Saturday. We told them that we planned to return it by 4pm. They put 2pm on our paperwork and they were already closed by the time we got there. There was no drop box for the keys. We ended up being charged until 9am the next morning instead of giving us the option of getting the car back to them in time on Saturday. I will not be using this company again. The entire process was poorly handled.Reviewed 24 Apr. 2023

Excellent customer service. The woman at the front desk was the best. If there was anything wrong she would turn any bad experience into a positive. Smiles, jokes. She’s someone you always want to meet when you first come into the store.Reviewed 13 Oct. 2022

The car smelled bad and had lots of stains. It seemed like it had a surface clean done, but it still seemed pretty dirty. It also only had a quarter tank of gas when I picked it up so I had to stop and fill it up. I ended up paying more in gas than I would have needed to had the gas tank been full upon pickup.Reviewed 13 Mar. 2022

Pros:Staff was nice. They just didn’t have any cars when we got there. Said it would be 3 hours or I could upgrade. We had planned on have a full size. I had to upgrade to an suv that cost $100 more then plan on.Cons:Just having a a car for me or budget making up the difference.Reviewed 11 Feb. 2019

Cons:Reserved for convertible- was told none was available. This is I spite of reserving it several months in advance. No attempt to try to find another vehicle in surrounding areas. Asked to call central reservation number for budget - they were no help at all. Did not even offer to reduce rates as promised vehicle was not available. Very poor service.Reviewed 21 Oct. 2018

Pros:Got the keys right away, was able to drop the car off after hours.Cons:After getting the keys, was told to remove the sunpass from windshield since I had my own and didn’t want the additional charges. I couldn’t remove it- no one was around to help. I saw a man that worked there and asked for help, then yelled for help but he ignored me and kept walking. Also, if you leave your vehicle there you have to park it across the street.... so walking across 6 lanes of fast moving traffic is a little unsettling.Reviewed 26 Mar. 2018

Pros:The auto was clean and economicalCons:We were informed that we could pick up the rental at the st. Pertersburg/Clearwater airport. At the Budget counter, we were informed that at the car had to be picked up at the Budget office 16 miles away in city. We wasted a couple of hours scrambling to find transportation in an unfamiliar city. The agent at the city Budget office was rude and inconsiderate The whole experience was awful. We will not use Budget to rent an auto again.Reviewed 5 Mar. 2018

Did not have a car for usPros:The price...I guessCons:We reserved a van for our family vacation far in advance. When I arrived on the morning g of the reservation, I was informed there were no vehicles. They didn’t bother to call me so I could make other arrangements. It was right after a holiday weekend so we couldn’t find any other vehicles and had to take multiple cars on our trip. Very disappointed.Reviewed 30 Dec. 2017
