Jun 2018
Cons:
Person at desk lied about gas mileage for car I was renting. Told me it was going to be 15 and that I should get a more costly car with better gas mileage. I didn't believe her and got my original car and the gas mileage was 40. Also, they tell you that they will remove a 35 dollar charge if you return the car with a full tank. I did that, but I had to talk to several people and eventually the manager of budget at the airport to get them to drop the charge. Not a trustworthy operation.4,4 Mediocre
Apr 2018
Pros:
Not much to write home about here...Cons:
I refueled the car within 5 minutes of dropping it off at the airport. Despite having a full fuel gauge they charged me $45 as a 'refueling fee'. I called to have it corrected and they wouldn't adjust the bill unless I could provide them with a copy of a fuel receipt. So I drop the car off with a FULL FUEL GAUGE and they put the responsibility on the renter to PROVE they filled the car by supplying a gas receipt?! I have since sent in copies of my fuel receipts and waiting for a corrected invoice, but this is a really shady way to do business. My company uses thousands of rentals a year, I can promise you we won't be using budget moving forward.8,8 Very Good
Feb 2018
Pros:
Friendly service and the car was good!Cons:
The price NEVER matches what I am told I will pay. Its ALWAYS higher and this really gets old. If im holding a reservation receipt that clearly says the cost will be 120 dollars then why am I charged 135 dollars??????8,4 Very Good
Feb 2018
Pros:
My pick up was at MSP airport. There are two rental car terminals. My reservation was made for Terminal 2, which I wasn't aware of. I expected only to be one rental location. I went to Terminal 1 not knowing the difference. The agent was able to get me squared away without me having to go to the other location.Cons:
The agent tried to upsell me on insurance. Made me wonder if the insurance I elected would cover the entire car, in rental speak "just walk away". I had some concern about the limitations of the coverage. It would be a better practice for Kayak or the partner site to use the same language that the rental car company uses so that there is any confusion and to do so as the reservation is being made. Find the car was not easy. Since I didn't upgrade the car or the insurance as the agent wanted, he was less than helpful in helping me navigate or find the vehicle.3,2 Poor
Jan 2018
Cons:
Because my flight got in three hours later than the pick up time they refused to honor the original price and charged me almost twice as much. Will never use them again, no matter how cheap they are.5,6 Fair
Jan 2018
Pros:
It was comfortable and started when it was 20 degrees below zero. Check in and check out was quickCons:
They charged more than the reservation stated and the first vehicle had a "check engine" and "maintenance" light lit. It makes me not trust them because they are not paying attention just washing them and sending them outSixt
