I rented a car for my husband who was flying in late on Christmas Eve. I reserved a compact SUV because we needed it a car with a little more space for the holidays. When he arrived, the gentleman at the front desk gave him a compact sedan. When he let them know that was incorrect, Cesar was rude, telling him that it didn’t matter what my confirmation email said in terms of car type, but his system showed a class that was just a basic car. My husband called me to talk to him since I made the reservation, and he was condescending and rude telling me that he knew more than I did because he worked there for 20 years. He ultimately gave my husband the SUV, but charged him an additional $20 per day to do so. I am extremely disappointed in my experience this trip.

Staff was great. Some of their corporate policies are terribly inconvenient and make no sense.

The agent was extremely rude and gave me a dirty car. When I went back to the desk to tell the agent that it was dirty she gave attitude and canceled my reservation!

2.0 Poor
I am fighting with budget because I was overcharged more than $200. I waited over a week thinking that it was just the deposit hold, but the money is still not returned to me. It’s impossible to get anyone on the phone and I am very frustrated.

I was not informed when reserving the car on Kayak that I would have to pay additional parking fees if I returned the car after hours.
A
2.0 Poor
I reserved my car 3 weeks in advance for 12/26. Upon arrival, and after waiting for quite some time, we were informed that they were out of cars and we’d have to wait for 1-1.5 hours to see if they had any come back. We were put on a waiting list along with people who just booked a day or two prior and ended up waiting 1.5 hours to get a car which was smaller than what we paid for and smelled like smoke. Our luggage barely fit in the back. It really delayed our trip to see family and friends and was not what we paid for.
A
2.0 Poor
They charged me extra insurance without my approval. And refuse to resolve the problem.

4.0 Mediocre
The longest line, slowest/most old fashioned rental car pickup process. The wait to pickup WITH a reservation was well over an hour.
A
2.0 Poor
Worst experience of my life while renting a car. The staff at the counter was rude and misleading about insurance information. We had such a bad experience that we ended up cancelling the reservervation and charged a penalty as they cancelled the booking an hour later than the pick up time. I don’t recommend this company
A
2.0 Poor
On one of the busiest holiday weekends (12/27), at one of the busiest airports in the nation (Newarl) there were 12 desks available to help Budget customers, and only one of them was staffed with a human being. The wait to pick up the rental car was 2 hours. Never again, Budget.
