I reserved a seven seater SUV and got a van. Van had many issues and wouldn’t start in the mornings, so returned it for a new one and got attitude from the budget representative. Eventually was given a replacement van and had no issues after that.Reviewed Jul 5 2025

I booked a van 4 months ahead of my vacation. Went to pick it up and was informed that the debit card i used to reserve the van couldn't be used to rent the van. Information like this should be stated in bold letters not buried in fine print. The lady was rude and looked at me like I was nothing. I WILL ABSOLUTELY NEVER USE BUDGET AGAIN FOR ANYTHING.Reviewed Jul 5 2025

Normally the car has a CDW. So we didn't check it this time. This time the car was not insured at all. That was an unpleasant surprise.Reviewed Jul 4 2025

Be prepared to wait in line for Budget in ABQ -- there's usually a single staffer working the counter for three rental companies. We were 5th in line when we got there on this past trip and it took about an hour to get our car. Now the price can't be beat and once you have your car all is good; you just need to be prepared for what you're walking intoReviewed Jul 3 2025

Overcharged by $6/day for a 62 day rental. Figured out I was being overcharged. Brought it to their attention. They refused to fix it. Promptly returned the car. Was then charge $580 after returning the car (after already paying). DO NOT USE BUDGET.Reviewed Jul 1 2025

Easy pick up and drop off. Conveniently located right in arrivals area. My main complaint is they left the windows part way down and it was raining when we arrived. Driver seat was soaked and passenger seat slightly wet. Also, car was not cleaned very well. Empty water bottle in back as well as cup holders had crumbs/sticky stuff in them.Reviewed Jul 1 2025
