Price was great and I was able to get a vehicle very quickly and easily. My biggest issue was that I selected a Tesla or similar luxury electric vehicle and was downgraded to a Hyundai Venue, which is a subcompact gas SUV. I also had to reach out to budget to ask for a bit of a refund for this downgrade.Reviewed Apr 12 2026

It was super easy. Walked off the plane, grabbed the key from the friendly staff member and went straight to my car. The drop off process was a breeze as well! 10/10 recommend.Reviewed Mar 25 2026

The experience was poor, I did the check in online to pick up the car at 8:30 am and I arrived around 8:45 to pick up the car and the front desk lady told me they don’t have the car ready and I need to wait 30 minuts. I wait for almost 2 hours. Delay all my trip.Reviewed Jan 19 2026

The company lied about inventory and had no trucks available for rental and sent me a text message. I called and customer service had no idea what I was talking about. They told me to cancell my reservation and try again at another location. Avis/Budget kept sending me messages as if there was a reservation in progress but there wasn't and no other locations had trucks for remotely close to the price I had reserved. Bad experience.Reviewed Aug 5 2025

I really enjoyed the gentleman who checked me in. I was unsure of what type of vehicle to get and he guided me in the right direction perfect. So grateful What could be better is I was unsure of where to pick the car up there was nobody at the budget desk so I had to go inside the airport and turn the vehicle in as well as check it out there was nobody at the office in the parking garage when I picked up and when I dropped off. Thank you other than that it was wonderful. Thank youReviewed Aug 15 2024

It was an easy experience. I had some wait time at the Budget in Baton Rouge but once I get checked in, I signed a few papers and checked the car. Then I was on my way. The car was a good and clean vehicle, tank was filled with gas. Pretty seamless. Drop-off in Broken Arrow was even easier. He checked the mileage and gave me my receipt, and I was on my way. Fast and efficient experience.Reviewed May 11 2024
