Over 50 people in line, hour and a half wait to pick up car. Does not have nearly enough staff to handle volume. Some renters returned back because the tanks were not full. Very frustrating experience.Reviewed Jun 20 2025

Only one person at the counter and a long line of people. System went down for a long time. Told us that they closed at 1:00am and were would have to wait till they reopened. Finally they got the system to work. The car I had was very noisy to drive.Reviewed Jun 1 2025

The wait for a car at Budget was over an hour (after a 12 hour flight with 4 kids). The agent rushed me through the process and had me add extras that I didn't need (tolls), which ended up being a complete waste of money. When I returned with the car an hour later, they refused to help. Customer service didn't help either. Cost was not worth it. Bad experience. Will not rent from Budget again.Reviewed May 28 2025

I didn’t get a car because the wait was so long. In over an hour (I timed it) I had only moved up a spot on line. Walked next door to a different company and was out with a car in less than 10 minutes like usual.Reviewed May 11 2025
