When we got the car, we found someone else’s rental agreement in the glove box and their matching credit card left in the console in the middle. Our flight was changed by just a little bit so we requested an extra hour and a half with the car instead of dropping off at 8:30 AM we have to drop it off at 10 AM and they told us they would charge us an extra day plus insurance plus taxes to keep it till 10. We just wanted to take the kids for breakfast before the flight so that was disappointing. The representative at pick up was a little cold and not very pleasant to deal with wasn’t necessarily rude. But the representative at drop off was very kind.Reviewed 2 Oct 2026

The staff were friendly, but their policy for charges is poor in comparison to other companies. They automatically charge you for a full tank of gas before you even return it(which is credited back to you upon return of full tank)and if you go over your return time by even an hour they charge you for it. Poor customer service in my opinion. I will NOT rent with Budget again and I rent a vehicle every 2 weeks. I'd rather pay a bit more with Enterprise and get exceptional customer service.Reviewed 25 Apr 2025
