The rental location closed at midday but we weren’t informed of this when booking. As a result we couldn’t pick up our car. The Budget location at Sacramento airport wouldn’t honour our booking either se we had to cancel and use another company.Reviewed Feb 18 2025

The person who rented the car to me assured me that the credit card I presented would only be used to put a hold on the rental but not pay for it. This was important as a different credit card was needed in order to rent the car without additional insurance. She turned out to be wrong. Luckily our rental was accident free so this mistake did not end up backfiring on us. It was distressing to me that she gave me the wrong information.Reviewed Nov 25 2024

My experience with Budget was great but my experience with kayak was disappointing I was charged for supplemental insurance by a third party which gave the impression that they were associated with budget. When i spoke with the associate at the time of renting the vehicle I specifically stated I didn’t need supplemental insurance and they said ok. I was still charged because the insurance offered on the website has nothing to do with Budget and is basically a scam. You can’t even contact a representative in person to cancel or dispute the charge totally unacceptable business practice. Will not be patronizing Kayak any longerReviewed Sep 24 2024

This location tried to up charge the vehicle charge from 120 to 600 and when I showed him the booking confirmation he claimed it was a mystery car and then came back with oh it’s and EV we have 6 of those available otherwise everything is sold out except the suv for $600/a day.. not what the booking confirmation showed so we rebooked with Enterprise no hikes, gimmicks or price gauging. Simple straightforward and for hundreds less!Reviewed Jul 21 2024

Rental company tried to force me to take an electric vehicle saying it was their choice. I was told the car had a driving range of 200 miles and must be returned with 70% of battery life. Rental companies are stuck with electric cars that are not wanted by renters. This was a bait and switch situation. I was forced to take the large SUV at a higher price.Reviewed Jun 4 2024
