At my pick up at the Ft. Lauderdale airport, they did not have my premium SUV available and told me they were upgrading me to a mini van for $20 a day. No one upgrades to a mini van and has to pay for it. Why did I have to get charged $20 a day for a be chile I did not reserve. I should have been compensated for having to take a mini van. I will not rent from budget again. I did not like the experience.

Originally were assigned a Chrysler Pacifica, which we liked a lot, but there was an issue with the license plate so we were sent back to the desk and reassigned a Kia minivan, which felt like a downgrade. Also, the person ahead of us in line needed to be reassigned a vehicle because the inside of hers was covered in cigarette ashes. The desk staff was super friendly and helpful, but seems like the vehicle maintenance team has some kinks to work out.

They had QR codes in the airport and sent an email beforehand to have you pre-register with your name date of birth and drivers license number. I did this while I was waiting in line for almost 30 minutes at budget as there was no advantage of doing this before hand because you had to wait in the same line, however, it registered me for my Rental at the time that I put in this information which added an hour onto the rental, and they charged me for it. Then, when I returned the car, they did not go out and inspect, just asked me if I filled up the car. And then received a charge for fuel service, even though the receipt showed that I returned the car full. It felt like they were looking for every opportunity to add erroneous charges onto the price line price in hopes that people would not catch it.

After making a reservation as well as confirming the reservation with a phone call and speaking to an agent on the phon, my rental car was not there. Upon arrival I was told my rental car was not available and they were not able to provide a rental car for me. It was a horrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend the company to anyone and I won’t use them again.

So, our flight was delayed and apparently they will only hold your rental car for one hour! There were 3 people ahead of us that all were charged and they couldn’t provide any of a car for this same reason. They said all of their other cars were already reserved. We had been traveling all day, had lugged our luggage around and found out we didn’t have a rental car but still were charged! It was so infuriating!

The attendant upon pick up was the most rude rental car person I have ever dealt with. The car has mechanical issues including gas over filling. There were so many dents and scratches I made my own videos. The attendant upon check out was VERY professional. I will still never use them again.

Had to wait over an hour in line to check in. They only had two people working and there was a very long line. When I finally spoke to a rep I was told it was going to be another hour to get my car since they did not have one in the type that I ordered. I ordered a wildcard which is basically dealers choice. After I expressed my displeasure in having to wait another hour they finally gave me a truck to rent. Unlikely to use them again. Saving a couple of bucks with them was not worth the hassle.
