Some interesting reviews


David O.Brien, operations manager, was the most helpful, efficient, friendly, awesome. caring employee we have ever encountered. I had a personal issue with the vehicle we were assigned and he jumped right in to help me get another vehicle. He truly was amazing.


Albany, NY Budget Car Rental was easy breezy. Our representative was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions. The paperwork was fast and finding the car was exactly per her instructions. I couldn't be happier and will always check out Budget in the future.


Budget/Avis Albany Airport employs a man who went out of his after hours to get me into a vehicle because another major competitor had dropped the ball. I had never rented from budget before but will strongly consider doing so in the future especially when at the Albany International Airport. Excellent customer service. Thank you Stephen!

The Budget Car Rental at Albany International Airport (ALB) will have you touring around New York’s state capital in no time. The convenience and selection you’ll find here is unparalleled, and the Budget counter is open until 12 am daily. That means you can hop into the perfect ALB car rental and start exploring Albany as soon as you land.


Albany is a midsized government and banking hub, and you’ll often find more people here for business trips than for leisure, but that doesn’t mean the city doesn’t have activity and fun to offer.


See all of Albany’s sights in one of Budget’s airport car rentals, including the New York State Capitol, which took 30 years to build. Also visit the Empire State Plaza, one of America’s most ambitious urban renewal projects. A complex of government buildings in the downtown core, it cost $2 billion to build, and features a performing arts center and impressive views of the Hudson Valley from the 42nd floor.


For more intimate accommodations, you’ll find the Morgan State House Inn a reprieve from some of the larger hotel chains. Visit North Pearl Street, one of Albany’s most happening strips, for dinner and dancing late into the evening.

I arrived with no line. The transaction went pretty quickly, and I was in my vehicle in no time. However, they just gave me the keys with no walk-around. I think I was lucky on timing though because as soon as I left the garage, there was serious gridlock and it was mayhem (7pm on 12/20). I thought to myself that I was glad I came to pick up the SUV when I did. The SUV was clean and very comfortable and I thought it perfect for our drive down to FL. After running a couple of errands, I jumped on the highway to head home to pack the car for departure the next day. As soon as I hit 60-65 mph, things didn't feel right. The alignment on the front seemed odd and there was a bit of a wobbly feeling and a pull to the right. I thought about it and really didn't want to deal with it, but realized it could be an issue dealt with now or we could end up somewhere on the side of the road sometime during the trip down south. As much as I didn't want to do it, I went back into the traffic. I put the car in the Budget return spaces and went to the booth and only the Avis person was there. I explained the issue, and I'm not sure he believed me, but I said I promise you if you take the vehicle on the highway you will understand. I asked him if we could get the same make and model and he said unfortunately that was the last one and I was worried we would have to pick from the last cars available. Instead, he upgraded me, without me knowing it, until I saw the vehicle. When I went back to return the keys to the broken vehicle after transferring my stuff over to the new SUV. He asked me if I was happy with the one he gave me, and I said that it was very nice, but I hope it is good on the highway. He said that he gave us the nicest one they have, and I agreed that it was a comfortable upgrade. So, it was an unfortunate situation, but he did the right thing by me, so that was the positive. Hopefully, all remains good on this rental going forward.

We have been renting from Budget for a while now because of their excellent customer service, we always get the car we select or are upgraded to a better car for no charge and drop-off is always quick. Their staff are friendly and very accommodating. There are other car renting companies available out there and we have used many, but have stayed with budget because they go on and beyond our expectations always, keep it up Budget!

One of the worst experiences. Had a reservation for a 3 row SUV. First car was dirty with stains on seats. Second was broken with dashboard not working at all. Third stunk with cigarettes, but as nothing else was available had to take it. The attendant acted with such an attitude like I asked for something unacceptable every time I would ask to change the car. Really bad experience.
