I had the most horrible time getting to budget. The shuttles at the st.Louis airport were all separate so you had to take a shuttle to each company so I had to take 3 shuttles with a baby in a stroller/car seat. The online process was confusing it automatically put me back in St. Louis for drop off so I had to drive 2 and half hours to save 669.00. When I called customer service you can’t understand any of the people on the phone and they give you the wrong info as far as fees go which was scary because I was told I would be charged 900 at the end I was only charged 350. It was a huge mess. I am so dissatisfied and stressed out from the whole situation. On top of that the service desk person at the airport was not helpful at all to get the rental.Reviewed Aug 4 2025

The confirmation did not clearly state that I could use the fastbreak pass so I waited on line for over 30 minutes to check in when I could've gone straight to the front. The agent who checked me in did not even tell me that I had a hybrid vehicle. I was unsure if it needed to be charged before returning it.Reviewed Jul 14 2025

I was given a van that didn’t have working brake lights or turn signals when I requested a new vehicle was told it was the only one available and I would have to take it to a mechanic shop myself. Feeling like I had no options I went ahead and did as they asked and spent 2 hours of the time I was supposed to be on my trip sitting in a mechanics waiting room. I left the mechanic only to find the problem was still occurring. Had to go back to the rental agency and demand a new vehicle. From the time I first pulled up to the time I got home with a new van was 6 hours of stress and headaches. The return of the vehicle was a headache as well and took 2 hours and multiple phone calls as the drop off location was closed and only corporate office could change my drop off location. However they entered my name in their system wrong and said they couldn’t make that change due to my information not matching. After two hours on the phone the best they could offer was to just drop it off and call them again after the charges clear and dispute the late fee and change of location fee because they couldn’t preemptively cancel them.Reviewed Jun 16 2025

When I got there they said I’d have to wait 2 hours for a car, they didn’t have any. Even though I reserved one weeks ago. Instead of getting a mid sized SUV that I paid for, they ended up giving me a Chevy Malibu. I took it because I didn’t want to wait any longer. Budget/Avis person waa super rude to me & dismissive of my questions. Very disappointed.Reviewed Mar 11 2025

Filled up tank -apparently it wasn’t tiptop full, but it had stopped so budget charged me $5.00 for gas. Pretty chapped about it actually. Staff was ok, but it was confusing to pick up/drop off in a tent. ? Wasn’t going to say anything about tent service but since they are being petty about gas. Travel a lot, never had as much confusion as to where to pick up/drop off and never in a tent.🤔Reviewed Oct 21 2024
