No cars despite a confirmed reservation - no effort to accomodate me. Terrible experience.

Picking the car up took 3 hours in SFO, which is beyond unacceptable.

The staff at pickup was excellent. The staff at drop-off was horrible - the lady was rude. The car rode fine - but: The car smelled like cleaning perfume at pickup but by the next day that smell evaporated and the car stunk like smoke the next four days. I had no smokers in the car but the people that I gave rides to all complained about the stinky odor. It was apparently not deep cleaned before they gave me the car.

Car was fine. Waited 90 minutes to pickup car at airport even though I completed the car rental check in the day before arrival.

Loved our car. It was clean and well kept. Pickup and drop off were great. The only thing not perfect was that the inside of the windshield was pretty filmy. But it was a great experience, and we already booked our return trip with Budget at the same location.

I picked up my budget rental car on a Sunday night at 9:30 in March 2026. I easily got onto the shuttle and went to the West Palm budget rental by the airport . As soon as I got there, I definitely saw a long line of customers waiting to meet with an associate to get their cars. There was no pre-check-in available that I knew of. That night there were only two attendants and I waited in that line for two full hours until 11:30 PM. The people that were elderly in line, we were getting chairs for so they could sit down because how many people can stand for two hours.?! it was a horrible experience. The two attendants were kind and said things had been like this for weeks. It had been busy. Someone questioned them and said stop renting cars then if you don’t have the staff to get us out of here.! It should be noted that I went with kayak because it’s a big name and I’ve heard good things. However, when I went to check out, it said I was with a subdivision company called Queeq?! I wasn’t real happy about that because I wanted kayak in the big name. The price was a little bit cheaper than other companies. However, nothing was worth standing in line over two hours for I would’ve paid extra. I would’ve gotten out of line and gone with another company however I felt that since I still had a reservation and confirmation that I would’ve been charged if I didn’t pick it up.
