The counter staff in deer Lake is always top notch! Friendly and helpful. The car (KIA Sorento) was a dealers choice as per my booking, and I couldn't have been happier with all that space while traveling the island. The car was clean and in perfect working order. Thank youReviewed 10 Sept 2025

Drop off was a problem. We were told to go in and wait in line while in fact we didn't have to. Also lots of dog hairs in the vehicle at pick up. Not great for our allergiesReviewed 9 Sept 2025

would like to get the car make and model that I selected on my reservation. Garage pick up station closed immediately after we picked up the car keys. would have liked to be able to ask a Budget employee a question or two on car operation before we left the garage.Reviewed 8 Sept 2025

There was a 2-hour line to pickup the car when we got to the airport. I had to cancel the reservation and book with Alamo (which, along with the 4 other car rental agencies, had a short line) to make our event on time. The Alamo agent told me that Budget does this every day, by offering low teaser rates without disclosing that you'll have to wait 2-hours+ to pick up the vehicle. That's really poor form on Budget's part.Reviewed 8 Sept 2025

I was sent to pick up a car from a far location where they brought the car from the airport and i could have just picked it up from there... bad allocation of resources. The gentleman at the Van Horne location is the kindest, sweetest and most helpful, but I was sent a heavy SUV when i reserved a medium sedan. Had to drive to the airport to exchange the car. The gentleman at the airport counter was also very helpful and professional. Not too impressed by the person over the phone (maybe a manager) that seemed lazy and unwilling to do the minimum work required, i overheard a conversation and the typical illiterate attitude towards customers that is inherited from the Middle Eastern person literally said" if the customer is not happy, they can go somewhere else".... Replace that kind of employee; they don't do anyone any good.Reviewed 6 Sept 2025

I left my suit coat in the back seat. I filed a lost-and-found claim, but they said they didn't find the suit coat. Someone obviously stole it out of the car when I returned it.Reviewed 6 Sept 2025
