10.0 Wonderful
Great staff even pulled the vehicle to the door. Of the terminal
A
2.0 Poor
I went to return my car and they only take payment by a credit card. I came back to pay cash and they told me no we dong accept cash, so I went to pay debit and they told we dont take debit. You can only pay by a credit card. Im like I dont want to pay with that card. It does not say anywhere in the agreement that I have to pay with a credit card. Also when I was picking up the card there was a guy there that was so frustrated with them and spoke out that he will not be renting from them again. Nut sure what his problem was but he was not happy at all.

8.0 Very Good
Car was not cleaned inside or outside. Pick up was 3 miles from airport, the train was easy to use but had to leave my family and bags at baggage claim and come back with the rental.

Perfect pickup - convenient, quick, friendly
A
2.0 Poor
No where listed that you had to be 25+ to rent an EV vehicle. I was put in a vehicle I did not want and also my drop off time was changed to an earlier time than I had listed
C
2.0 Poor
Had the worst car rental experience, bad service at LAX location. Car had 40 miles left on the charger.
N
2.0 Poor
Charged us for the toll pass when we didn’t need it. Since they charged us for the toll pass we decided to take the toll. The toll pass was then invalid and we couldn’t use it. We spoke with Charles and Evelyn who confirmed they would reverse the fee and send and email for confirmation and never did. Horrible service.
N
2.0 Poor
The service desk was awful. The rep at the counter was rude, openly annoyed, extremely unhelpful, and seemed to revel in charging us more when we needed to switch from an all electric to gas vehicle. No where in our reservation was it started that I was renting an all electric vehicle. When needing to extend the reservation, the customer service line was completely unhelpful and suggested the website. Overall horrendous experience, will not be renting from Budget Savannah anymore.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Per Kayak and the Budget confirmation I had a Mitsubishi ready for pick up at noon. However, when I got there to Budget there were no cars available. I am also fighting to recoup my $39 Rental Cover fee for a car that was no available. I ended up going to Enterprise instead.
