I prepaid for the weekly rate but was charged extra because I didn't notify them I kept the car the full 7 days instead of 6 days.

The pickup spot is convenient and the employees were very helpful. However, given that wr booked through a third party, we were told we'd been booked with the "manager special" or something, and we were given a gas-guzzling truck to drive instead of a sedan or even an SUV. So very polluting and of course very expensive in gas. So be warned, the management can really rent you whatever they want to when it says "mystery car" in your booking.

The drop off is really complicated; Parking 3 levels down in a garage section P- only in spaces numbered 2980 thru 3085, etc. write down your mileage and time on the Budget brochure or else you may be charged more, etc. Make sure you take a picture of where your car is parked for your own proof. Bring the keys back up to the valet kiosk by taking the elevator up from the garage. It’s a lot! But everyone was very nice!

Everything was seamless with the exception of the final charge being more than double the original quoted price.

Got there and they required a huge deposit which wasn’t mentioned upon booking. I had enough between two cards and asked if they could do a split payment. They said no only one card. As I’m on my phone trying to send one card balance to the other one so I can make a payment on only one card, the employee said oh! And because you are renting an suv it’s even more of a deposit AND it has to be on a major credit card. Then he said they were sold out of everything else except the Kia Soul box car. I canceled my reservation because: 1. Undisclosed fees 2. Could not afford 3. Do not have any credit cards 4. Misleading condescending employee

First, I got the very last vehicle at the budget at westin, and this was at 10am. I lucked out. The vehicle was a newer versa, but it was dirty and filled with dog hair. I had to return it to the lb airport and exchange for another vehicle. I received a very hard driven 30k mile dodge charger, not in good condition, alot of dings, and dents and very dirty. Overall i was grateful for the exchange, but I had to go through quite a bit to get this 30k mile charger. Overall, it did the job and the workers at budget helped with the exchange.

I liked the friendliness of the rental agent; I do believe his name was Michael. The questions I asked, he was able to answer. Michael was very knowledgeable. I knew I would be dropping off the car early in the morning, and I needed to know what to do. He told me about the inside drop box for the keys, and not to give them to anyone who may approach me. My rental was clean and gassed up...nice SUV. I had no trouble with the vehicle, which lets me know it was well-maintained. In fact, the trailer where Budget is located, is clean, too. I had an enjoyable rental experience, and I would recommend Budget to my friends.

Would not pickup even though I thought that was their thing and would have been nice to know I had to have a credit card and not a debit card. Had to leave and go to Avis. They got me right in a vehicle! Thanks, Avis!

The only negative was that when I called the pickup location to notify them that we were running late, they didn’t answer the phone and when I called back 10 mins later I was put on hold for over 20 mins before a human ever came on the line. Once arriving for the actual pickup though, it was very quick, efficient and friendly.

I put in an order for a pickup at LAX, but when I arrived at LAX the rep told me my reservation was for a different office and charged me double of what I was quoted online. Afterwhich when I returned the car, the shuttle bus driver took everyone's Airline stop, but somehow managed to forget my stop and took me back to the Avis Car Pickup point - making me late. After I asked him why he didn't stop at my stop, he apologized for forgetting. He drove me back over to the Airport, but then dropped me off at the wrong terminal, so I had to run about a half a mile to the correct terminal. Just absolutely poor service!

Would have communicated better to let the person know that there isn’t a car available because I had to take an Uber there from my hotel which cost me 48 dollars and to find out that they where sold out. So I had no choice but to Uber back which cost another 48 dollars. Availability should be confirmed between both parties and not make the customer go through the frustration of going down there spending a whole lot of money only to find out that there isn’t car available? Would have been okay with any 🤬car!!!

A mixed experience where the staff was very good but the cars weren't: We took 3 contracts for a total period of nearly 7 weeks in 2 different vehicles. Both vehicles were delivered not washed, windshield were both smeared and had poor visibility especially at night. Both vehicles were COMPETENTLY empty of WINDSHIELD WASHER. One vehicle has a leak and air pressure constantly low within 3 days of driving.

Didnt have the car class or type I reserved. Forced me into an old, loud, dirty 2 doors clunker. Staff was rude and obnoxious. Didnt want to rent me other available cars, being an Avis president club member is useless, unlike at Hertz.

I wasn't able to get this car at all! Kayak booked it and yet Avis called me the night before we were due to leave to tell us they don't allow "one way rentals". (Where you get the car in 1 location and return it in another). Thank goodness they called, but when I went to rebook another car at that late notice, it was going to cost $1,200! We wound up driving instead which was a huge hassle and changed our entire trip... negatively. Kayak needs to fix this!

The car was clean and comfortable.

The service could not have been worse. We waited over an hour before we had someone finally pick up the phone and send an airport van. On our return flight, we turned our car in at the appointed 4:00 time to find a note on the desk that said “please place the keys in the Dropbox. We had expected to get a ride to the airport, but that was not to be. We walked 20 minutes or so to the airport and barely made our flight. The communication with your renters needs some work.

Nothing. Very unprofessional.

Sat and waited for an hour at the airport and the shuttle never showed up. Called 3 times, never answered. Took a $10 Uber to the office, and two young unprofessional girls were there. “I was at lunch”. After we took the car and got to the hotel, they call us and told us they left keys in our car so they came and met us and switched us cars. What a joke. The replacement car was a crappy, smoke smelling Kia Soul, nothing like the commercial with the hamsters. I had never seen a rental car in such bad condition.

Typically it is the lowest. For a reason. Even then I would not recommend renting from here.

The staff is untrained, unprofessional and many give you the attitude that they will probably steal your information. The prove of having insurance. In mist car rental agencies you just tell them the name is the insurance here you have to have a policy # and fill it out. Or they fir e you to buy insurance! Wtf!!! I’m getting the impression they are hiring the bottom feeders of tre employees with fishy background. All care more in their cell phone than try to help you to rent and leave the facility. I had a reservation d as Nd had to rebook at the car agency nearby. What a completely ware of time.

Easy airport access, fast check out with prepaid rental agreement. Fast check in when car was returned, both people were friendly and helpful.

Didn't know about all the toll roads in Orange County, wasn't sure how to pay them without toll booths anywhere- had to call Alamo and ask about them as we had already followed our GPS on the phones and used them multiple times that first day- would have preferred to know about them before hand.
