No problems. We had to wait a few minutes for someone to arrive in the office for both pick-up and drop-off, but the person who helped us was friendly, efficient, and helpful.Reviewed Jun 13 2024

Nothing, it wasn't at the airport, so I didn't rent from budget.Reviewed Oct 10 2023

It was hard to find both pick up and drop off locations. The air conditioning did not work. The temperatures were in the 90s and my phone kept overheating so I lost my map. When I stopped for the day, I called Budget. They would bring me a new vehicle but I would have to pay to have the current one towed even though someone would be there with the new vehicle. I was in a dangerous position and they were not helpful.Reviewed Oct 4 2023

The car didn’t have AC. Also the website must have switched locations. I had to leave the airport to pick up my car-very inconvenient.Reviewed Oct 11 2022
