Awful experience entirely. Company closed the pickup location and had to pickup at another location far away in traffic, so was delayed by an hour and late for work. The return was even worse, since I called to confirm that the location closer to my home would be open, I got there and they were closed again during normal business hours. Now I had to drive down to the other Budget location, again in traffic and lost another hour of time, because they were so slow to return the car when I got there with 11 people in line waiting with 1 person at the counter. Then, they tried to charge me for an extra day, because I was a few minutes late, even though they had delayed me on the pickup time and the return. Totally unacceptable and lacking any knowledge at all of what customer service is. This is totally unprofessional and as a shareholder, it is completely alarming.

Newyork recommended and gave me an electronic EZPass , that did not work in Ohio,India polis,Illinois. As a result a paid over $45 in tolls. That's in addition to what I paid for sn unlimited EZ pass. When asked from the Milwauki staff on return, they were absolutely rude and helpful. Asked us to sort it out with Newyork Staff. Really poor support and tactics.

They changed the vehicle pick-up location without prior notice. I had to walk more than 15 minutes to arrive the changed pick-up place. When I arrived, I had to wait for over one and half hour to rent a car. I was told that all the midsize SUVs I booked were out of stock. There was no other way than renting a Kia Soul, which is like a small car, at the same cost or waiting indefinitely until another car was secured. I ended up renting a downgraded car (Kia Soul) for the same cost. Even they did not offer discounts or other services. This is the worst rental experience I've had. I will never use Budget anymore.

I was 4 minutes late to my drop off location in Boston and the guy was very upset and rather asked me why I was late, etc. I was taken aback as this was my first trip to Boston. He asked me to leave the car and go in a rude manner. I was very disappointed.

Dollar’s website showed an abundance of cars available for rent. When we arrived to pick up our car, that was not the case. Thankfully their manager Lawrence was handling the abundance of customers in the same position with professionalism, courtesy, and patience. As cars were returned, he notified us that a car was available and we were very pleased with the rental.

We were allowed to reserve a car when this location did not even have vehicles available for us which stranded us in New York City. We actually tried to call numerous times and could never speak to anyone. Overall, a very poor experience.

I like all Alamo scope, the car, the service, the price, etc everything was super. What I did not like and rated overall experience low: our pickup was ordeed to downtown New York. The confirmed date was 1st Jan. I luckily called Alamo the day before just double check car availability. And they just told me that they are CLOSED the next day (although they see the valid confirmation in the system-but definately I can not pick it up). So asked them to hand over the day before and they were flexible to do it. If I would not call them, then we should seek for a car rental 1st Jan after realizing that the handover pick up point is closed. And Alamo also mentioned that this is a usual desconnect between their and other’s systems, so I suggest to make a better connection between systems.

Seamless and quick pick up and return, clean car. The only minor inconvenience - gas tank was not full, and returning 3/4th in practice means that one is overpaying for gas.

The employee charged my card +$1700 dollars for a car that was $105 for just 6 hours of use. I offer to use a different card but he refused to accepted because it was a Puerto Rico card even when it has the Visa logo and chip. My card got blocked and I had to call my bank and solve this. On the second attempt to get the car the amount was again over 1,700 and I asked to employee to check for any involuntary errors and he snapped back at me indicating he does not make mistakes. I was 30 minutes late to my event due to this.
