My Tesla 3 was switched with an electric Subaru Solterra. It would have been nice to know that the charger was different than the Tesla.Reviewed 14 Oct 2026

Pick up in Tucson was fine but would have been nice to have a person to ask questions about the vehicle. It was 100% self service. Drop off was good, easy, and complete in 60 seconds.Reviewed 4 May 2026

Complete disaster. They would not let my wife pick up the car. Then when I arrived, they had cancelled my reservation. We never got a car. I want a refund.Reviewed 7 Apr 2026

The check in was amazing and fast. The car was a Nissan rogue. The car needed an oil change and kept sending warning messages that using the car without changing the oil could be hazardous. The car had no wiper fluid and that was a huge issue as we were driving through a dusty desert in Arizona.Reviewed 31 Mar 2026

Pick up was inefficient, about 15 people in line and 2 employees at the desk, waited about 1 hour. Car was nice and new. I almost did not get my requested vehicle, because they were out, but one came available at last minute. Drop off was super easy and fast.Reviewed 25 Mar 2026

This was awful. We got an intermediate SUV and it was a jeep compass that was so cramped and we could hardly fit our luggage in. The jeep compass is a compact SUV. The worst part was that at the start of our roadtrip, all of the safety features failed, the blinkers wouldn’t turn off and then the oil light came on. We had to find a Budget on the way to our destination and deal with the hassle of switching the car out. And of course they gave us an equally as disappointing replacement. Will not be using budget again. Spend the extra money and get something nice. Lesson learned.Reviewed 17 Jan 2026

Fast pickup even though i showed up early. Car was great for what we needed, drop off was seamless. Incredible value considering we were going from one suburb to another suburb, and they didn’t make us pickup or drop off from inconvenient locations like airports. Great rental experience.Reviewed 15 Jul 2025
