Showed up with a reservation that was even pre-paid, only to be told there were no cars available. Went to AVIS instead. You should too.

They didn't have a car in the class that I reserved. They tried to give me a much smaller car that did not meet my family's needs. This car smelled terrible. Ultimately, I left the agency without a car. My other experiences with hurts have been okay. But this experience was not a good one.

They didn’t have any pickup trucks but still took my reservation, causing me wasted time and forcing me to have to find another option.

My Experience was not a good experience with Budget this was my first and last time renting with them . I was given a 12 passenger van that should’ve never left the lot . The passenger rear tire was a mess , and I hadn’t realized until I was in route to my destination i stopped several times to put air in that tire , and on the last time of filling the tire it exploded and burst my nephew’s eardrum. Which was very unsafe and scary seeing blood come out of his ear. When I returned the vehicle at the end of my trip the man at the front desk of the 101 west fayette location was no help .

No cars when we arrived after flying across country from Alaska to Dulles. We were tired and ended up Uber to Annapolis which cost $130 and then I still had to try and figure out how to get a car. Horrible!

I like the quality, cleanliness of the vehicle, and the ease of pick-up and return of the rental. Fast and friendly service. Would rent from this location again!

I DID NOT LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never finalized the rental. I hate their policy. I hate I paid ahead of time. I LOOK FORWARD FOR MY FULL REFUND. I left there HIGHLY UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND NO CAR......... The staff were not professional, and the place was dirty inside.

Their policy NEEDS a lot of improvement. The process was a long, drawn out ridiculous MESS!!!!! I felt like I was being FORCED to add collision to my insurance policy, just to rent a vehicle. I have Liability on my personal vehicle. I was NOT gonna pay more money, just to rent a vehicle for the weekend. I EXPECT MY REFUND, AND PROMISE NOT TO EVER DEAL WITH Next car, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Customer service was good car was pretty clean, the gentleman that helps us was great!

Perhaps a little faster service, we waited over a half hour just to start paperwork, there was also a high maintenance customer slowing up the line

Pick-up was the slowest I have experienced in over 30 years renting cars. Only 2 people ahead of us, but we were there for almost 1 hour! The car was dirty and smelled heavily to cigarette. It was cheap, though
