This ripple experience was disasters to say the least I missed the whole reason that I rented the car for so I basically drove in the car for 3 days for no reason.Reviewed 25 May 2026

Budget did not honor its contractual obligation and I could not rent the car one way (i.e. different return location) although it was booked in that way.Reviewed 25 May 2026

Budget has definitely become more budget over the years. My “upgraded” car was not Apple CarPlay equipped (1st time in years of renting that I’ve seen this). Wasn’t explained to me so of course I didn’t opt for gps feature. Turned into a bit of a mess as I was trying to navigate off my phone. Check in was quick, but not helpful in any meaningful was. Car was rather beat up. Scratches/dents/intetior all showing age. Drop off was supreme. I’ll give them that.Reviewed 25 May 2026

Pre-booked our vehicle weeks ago to move my child home from college. Flew across the country only to find out that they had no vehicle for us. Had to scramble to find another company that would help us…on Memorial Day weekend. Shout out to Enterprise/Alamo. I WILL NEVER USE KAYAK OR BUDGET EVER AGAIN.Reviewed 23 May 2026

It's a scam. They force you to buy insurance with them even though you have insurance. They come up with different excuses, the law, policy, .. even though it's not mentioned anywhere. Again, they don't accept insurance from third party. It's very disappointing dealing with them.Reviewed 23 May 2026

I had a ten hr delay thanks to United Airlines. It was a rough day but getting my rental checked out at 10:00 PM was the easiest thing I dealt with all day. The gentleman at the counter was pleasant and made the whole thing simple. Thank you! The Jeep was fun to drive :)Reviewed 22 May 2026
