One hour wait and the agents were surly and unapologetic. I will never use them again. Use Enterprise/National/Alamo instead! My experience with them was far superior and their counter had a faster moving line.Reviewed Dec 28 2024

Waited two hours in line to get paperwork. Computer systems were down so they wrote everything up by hand. No apologies and no offers to make it right. Once we got to the garage, an employee told us the express area was closed and sent us to the “preferred” area, only to find out that’s not where we were supposed to be. Finally, the girls out on the garage floor were able to help us. They were very kind and the only ones who seemed to know what they were doing. They finally got us into a car and on our way.Reviewed Oct 13 2024

Budget at Boston Logan International is Amazing! The people at the counter for pick-up couldn't have been nicer and more helpful to me and my family. All of them were. Literally every single person on every window at the Boston Logan Budget counter were smiling, friendly, efficient, gracious and kind, and got all of us in line - and there were a lot of us in that 3-Times around line waiting - served and processed quickly and easily, and with the most pleasanr of demeanors possible. Truly remarkable service at Budget Boston Logan International! Stephen GreenReviewed Sep 6 2024

The check in line was long with very few agents to check people in at peak time. I was given a car that was clean, but didn’t feel safe to drive (whole car shook when braking, accelerating was a task). The agent told me there was fuel “nearby” so I opted to prepay for a tank to avoid driving around or getting lost, however upon return “nearby” actually meant right next to/in the rental car area. Had I known this, I’d have spent $20 filling my half tank versus $75 for their full tank. That’s a bit of a scam.Reviewed Aug 18 2024

  • Driving on toll roads and through toll booths in a rental car in Boston can be tricky. To help you avoid the hassle of accidentally getting a toll ticket, you can add the Budget program Budget e-Toll to your rental agreement. Budget e-Toll automatically pays any tolls for you and you pay Budget the total cost of any tolls you accrue plus a small daily fee for every day that you drive through a toll booth. Investing a little extra into Budget e-Toll is a cost-effective alternative to accidentally finding yourself with a toll ticket.
