This vehicle is compact but spacious enough for your family's needs. It has enough room for groceries and other supplies, as well as for passengers who may be riding along with you.

And in school zones and neighborhoods, the speed limit drops even further to 15 mph.

    Surprise has a lot of great places to park your car, so you won't have to worry about it not being safe. There are two main ways to do it: you can find a garage and pay for it, or you can just park on the street. If you're going to be in Surprise for a while, we recommend looking into garages. Garage parking can be expensive but if you're in town for a while and don't want to worry about moving your car every few hours or overnight, it's probably worth it to lock it up in a garage. You might also want to check out free public parking lots near your destination if you're planning on going somewhere specific.

Our check in agent was extremely cordial, knowledgeable and patient. I had a problem with my pin and he found a solution by doing a manual transaction which was most appreciated. Car return was equally good. Basically drop keys and and run. Thank you Budget.

Pros:

Caravan we got was able to fit all of my family including luggage, however it over heated half way through the trip. Heater didnt work. Aux/usb didnt work. Brakes shacked and smelled.

Cons:

The van obviously was not checked before it was rented out. This EXTREMELY is not ok and blows my mind. This puts peoples lives at risk and could have caused an accident very easily. Once we got to our destination, the local enterprise was able to exchange the vehicle. Once we returned the vehicle at the end of our rental the manage was able to discount 50% off. If anyone actually reads these responsive i would love a reply. Thank You so much!

Had a 12 PM rental time on Saturday, but they close at 12. Got there a few minutes early and they were already closed. When I attempted earlier in the week to move my appointment up an hour to 11 I was told I’d be charged, so I kept the 12pm time. How can you expect to pick up the car at 12 if you are not open past 1150? Horrible.. Did not get my car and will never use them again
