I was unable to rent from Budget when I arrived at the airport having prepaid my full rental for $750 they denied the rental saying it was a credit issue . Insane . Do I went next door and got a much better car for $475 at Enterprise . Budget should not do this to people who book and prepay in advance its just a terrible business model . I will never use them !!Reviewed 11 Oct 2025
