Terrible customer experience and customer service. I arrived early to pickup my vehicle (I needed to get a ride and the person needed to get to work so 9am was the only time window I could get there). My pickup was scheduled for noon (12pm). I was the ONLY customer there and the parking lot was full of cars. The front desk employee was not helpful and told me “your car isn’t cleaned yet, I could probably have it cleaned by 1130” I told him I didn’t care about the cleanliness and also stated he could upgrade or downgrade my vehicle as I didn’t care. He just stared at me and told me to wait in the lobby til the car is ready and there was “nothing he could do” I tried calling 1800 number to speak to customer service to see if there was anything they could help with because I could not wait around for 3 hours. Customer service was terrible and no help. They kept passing me to another agent, causing the phone to hang up 3 times. Finally after my 5 transfer, I spoke to someone in “rental trucks” who didn’t understand why I was transferred to him in the first place, told me (after I explained the situation) that my request was not unreasonable and there job was to help me get a vehicle even if it was looking at another location. He recommended I talk to the guy at the front desk again and see if he could help or ask for a manager. When I went back in and asked to speak to a manager, magically my vehicle (which was the same vehicle I saw in the lot earlier and it never moved) was “ready”Reviewed 29 Mar 2025

My scheduled pick up time was 6 pm. I arrived at 6:03 and Budget was closed and no one was there so I could not pick up the vehicle. Why would the schedule a 6 pm pick up when the leave at 6?Reviewed 14 Oct 2024

The pickup service was fine, but drop-off at the Orlando airport was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. And the only vehicle available was a gas-guzzling pickup truck, which compounded the price gouging for gas.Reviewed 26 Nov 2023
