The ease of picking up and dropping off the car was great, My only reason for not giving an excellent on all of my ratings is that there was no inspection at the time of pickup to review any existing damage to the car (small chip in windshield, paint damage to the bumper) so I was worried as I noticed things along the way because I was afraid it was going to be blamed on me. The service light also popped on once I got to my destination and it indicated that it was 5k over the last service. I know these are typically just oil change reminders most of the time, however I was paranoid the whole time. I must add that the two gentlemen working there were both very kind and professional. I would use them again, but I would make sure to inspect the vehicle with them.Reviewed 9 Jul 2025

There was not enough, active staff, helping move the very slow line at Charlotte airport. We waited in line over an hour. The car was barely clean.Reviewed 24 Jun 2025

Car was dirty with bugs crawling around in it and we found a previous occupants dirty underwear under front seat - when looking for a hotel key. Also low air pressure on Left rear as well as low on windshield washer fluid. Manger at HHI airport was courteous, but more interested in charging g me and my insurance for a low tire vs trying to make the situation better for this customer. You probably lost a customer as a result of that interaction.Reviewed 14 Jun 2025

The lady at the desk at CLT airport treated me badly. She went from bubbles and buddies with the two previous clients. I think it was their ethnicity versus mine. I was promised and paid for an SUV and was put in a compact. She said none were available then back peddled and said I would have to wait if I wanted a larger car. When I got to the deck there were several SUV’s parked around me. I am a 300 lb Chinese American. I attempted to be pleasant and engage in a friendly manner and she never smiled. I did NOT get what I paid for and her service was awful. She treated the two black people before me totally different than I was treated. If you trace cameras back you can confirm this by her mannerisms and body language.Reviewed 4 May 2025

They called an hour and a half before pick up and canceled the reservation. This is simply unacceptable. No one should ever book anything through KAYAK or Budget.Reviewed 3 Apr 2025

Charged me fuel service even though I returned the car right after filling up by the airport. Had to wait over 20mins on the phone to get in touch with someone to get the charge reversed.Reviewed 20 Mar 2025

I wasted 90 dollars and 3 hours with round trip cab rides from the airport due to them not having a vehicle for me, despite having a reservation weeks in advance. I’ve never had an issue with budget in the past. Absolutely unacceptable to waste of a customers time and money.Reviewed 6 Feb 2025
