The rental was over twice the cost as advertised. Bad for business. Won’t be using this service in the future

Extensive cue at the counter, nothing was moving for 2hrs, left without a car

6.0 Okay
Computer systems were down so the staff were doing their best but very overwhelmed. The car we reserved was not available so we got a different one … no problem at all… but there was only enough gas to go 30 miles before the gas light came on. I’ve never rented a car that close to empty before. Front counter staff was very nice but you could tell he’d been dealing with angry customers and it was going to be a long day for them all.

4.0 Mediocre
Not great experience. We had rented two 7 passenger “vans”. When we arrived we were told we could not rent two cars under the same name and they were not able to change it. We had to cancel one reservation and start with a new one. The 7 passenger “vans” were actually just larger SUVs. The two seats in the back were virtually unusable except for children or very petite people. When we returned them we were charged an additional 250 euro despite returning the cars full and undamaged. We will dispute that but likely never rent from Budget again.

2.0 Poor
Waited until we arrived at the appt time to say they weren’t renting out anymore cars since 12:30. I booked them around that time and why wouldn’t you call to inform us. Definitely terrible service….

Charged for fuel when it was EV and we brought back so no fee should have been charged

2.0 Poor
First car I rented wasn’t available, they then gave me another car which wasn’t in its spot, had me go look for it! Wasn’t there! Then finally after all that gave me a worse car. I was late to my meeting!
