Poor|Aug 2023

Terrible. Broken system. Waited 3 hours for car. Then my license “wouldn’t work” so I had to use my wife’s license to rent the car. I’ve rented with budget two weeks ago with no issues. I have a perfect driving record. Will not use budget ever again. Terrible.

Poor|Aug 2023

When I tried to check in using when prompted by an a Budget email, I kept getting an error saying that the rate was invalid. When I called Budget about this issue, I wasted several hours of time on the phone, but no one that I talked to could verify my rate or pre-check me in. One rep said that they thought that due to demand, that I wouldn't be able to get the car at the rate I had booked at anymore. Eventually someone just said to see if the rate I was booked at would be able to be honored at pickup time. It turns out it was (I different rate wasn't even discussed), but I had a lot of problems with the car that they gave me for my one-way rental from DTW to MKE. It turned out that 3 of the tires on my rental were bald on the inside which I didn't notice/check for when I picked up my rental car. One blew on the freeway and the tire was shredded on the inside. It was difficult to deal with Budget about this issue. Eventually I replaced the one tire that had blown and then drove the car on non-freeways to the nearest Budget rental to swap out my rental. I'm still waiting to see if Budget will reimbursement the money to replace the expensive low profile tire that I had to replace myself.

Poor|Jun 2023

I reserved the car for $101 and when I picked it up they tried to charge me $178. When I asked why the price increased vs my reservation amount, they made up a bunch of excuses. I had to argue with them for 5 minutes before the manager came out and adjusted the price back to the reservation amount. The drop-off experience was good and the person there confirmed that the final cost matched my reservation.

Mediocre|Jun 2023

Well, didn't get the car but got charged $50. That charge is buried in fine print that I had to "expand" to find. My flight was cancelled, 6 hour delay, trying to reschedule on my phone at the airport. Got another rental car but didn't cancel the Budget reservation. Yes, I see now that I should. But why did they ask for my flight number then ignore the cancellation? We've had other issues with Budget adding extra charges, etc. Usually met with "that's the way we do it", "that charge should have been displayed", lots of not my job kind of stuff.
