Good service. No wait times.

many people would probably be happy with my experience, but not so much for me. I was upgraded from a sedan to our SUV at no charge. Did not know that’s what I was getting. Just not my personal preference, plus it cost two or three times as much for gasoline. Other than that, great experience

My flight was delayed, and when I arrived at the Dollar desk at the airport no one was there. No one was at the parking garage. I had to get a hotel room for the night and come back the next morning to get the car I'd reserved. It cost an extra $100. So much for saving money, right?

Booked flight into Pittsburg International Airport and booked rental car in conjunction with flight. When I went to Enterprise to pick up car, I was informed that my pick up location was on Babcock Rd which is 30-40 minutes North of airport. I was going to Clarksburg WV which is about 2 hours south. In addition I was informed that location closes at 5:00 and since it was already 4:45 that I’d never make it to location before closing. They changed my location to the airport and increased the contract price from $155 to approx $400 which is completely ridiculous.

They canceled our six-week two 15 passenger van rental, offered us no options, cost us thousands of dollars and a lot of inconvenience showing no remorse- after 10's of phone calls over three weeks time, at the last moment, they offered us incomparable vehicles (four 7 passenger vans- it was ridiculous, as if we had two extra drivers and could have our extra passengers commute some other way?). Due to high demand and very short notice, Budget helped us some and we had to BUY a van.

Reserved a mustang convertible (or similar). When it came time to pick up the car, my choices were SUV or pickup truck. My opinion, false advertising. Either don't offer what you can't deliver. Or, hold that specific vehicle in reserve, for such reservations. Quite disappointed.

I requested a mid-sized SUV. I got a Mazda station wagon. It had horrible blind spots! It had zero horsepower, I almost got hit getting on the highway! Before all that, I stood in the hot garage for 45 minutes in a line waiting for someone to get the car. The worker was so busy getting his belongings together to put on his motorcycle, finding cars for those in the hot garage waiting….wasn’t his priority. I will not recommend Budget, nor will I use them again!

Booked a luxury car and they tried to give me a truck. When I asked for a the vehicle I booked, they refused to give it to me. They said to call Priceline and sort it out. I asked for a lower end car instead of luxury since I needed a car and they said that it would cost more. I called Priceline and they told me to work it out with budget or cancel the reservation. Not a good experience.

Checking in at the counter was super easy - drivers license, a question about fueling the car and another about insurance and we were done at the counter! No pressure to ourchas ethe insurance. Easy access to the car out of one of the airport doors. Had a couple of minivans to choose from. Returning the car was even easier, pull in, let them check the mileage and the fuel level, and receipt in hand. They had luggage carts for us to use at no charge. Highly recommend!
