Some interesting reviews


Definitely recommended to this service. The process was swiftly smooth from reserving a car to pickup and return the car. The staff was very helpful and provided wonderful service enhanced more enjoyable experience to my family vacation. The vehicle met my family needs as I reserved. Although the inside vehicle needed a little more cleaner, instead of I cleaned when picked up; however, overall I satisfied with the service.


I have recently rented a Honda CRV from Budget Rental at Tampa Airport for 14 days. I had very quick service collecting the car after I booked it in advance on-line in the UK. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The car itself was very comfortable to drive, had plenty of room for all the luggage and was ideal for driving to Bonita Springs about 150 miles from Tampa. Overall it was a very good experience and I would happily book a car with Budget Rentals again.

Nice car and great experience. Easy pick up and drop off. However, no one was available for drop off and I wasn’t sure if I should leave the key in the cat or wait for an employee to receive car.

I returned the car on the same day as I rented it, but an hour later at 7:30 pm then the contractual time (6:30 pm) and was charged an entire day. For an eight hour rental with the same day return, this is extremely punitive and greedy. Budget is not a customer centric corporation and offers nothing better than bait and switch. Budget and its corporate officers should be ashamed of themselves. BTW, I would have been more than willing to accept an hourly, or even a partial day fee for being late, but paying twice the contracted cost was a joke!

Rented a full-size car at TPA airport. It was clean inside and outside. Almost felt like received a new car.

Couple of things to get 5 start:
- It took long waiting at front desk while agreement signing as Car assignment took longer. same for fellow renters at that time
- Car doesn't have mats pre-installed. I have do it my self from trunk. Those look like new though
- Car dashboard indicates battery maintenance needed. But didn't face any issue for the rental period(almost a week)

overall I had very good experience with this rental.

I rented a car with Budget for a few days just after Christmas.

The good: the was fabulous! I got a brand-new Toyota Prius with only a few hundred miles on it. The car handled very well and I was surprised how well the adaptive cruise control feature worked. The mileage was excellent. Turning in the car at the end of my use was also fast and easy.

The less good: I signed up for Fastbreak, and it still took quite a while to actually pick up the car at the airport. Part of this was because the Budget pick-up line was actually closed and the Avis counter was handling their work, but there was not a sign saying this. It probably took me 45 minutes to an hour to receive the car.

The really annoying: I received an extra $16 fuel charge, even though I gassed up the car right before I returned it. Now I will have to call Budget to complain about this. :-(

Wouldn’t recommend. When we got the car it had a dirty hair brush and trash under the seat. The check in guy tried to make it sound like basic insurance is mandatory and didn’t give an option to not purchase until I said no I don’t want any. Was told fuel would talked about at drop off yet I was charged $50 for being less than 1 gallon from completely full. Not happy and won’t use again.

The only downside car wasn't that clean at the time of pick up also the oil life Indicator was on looks like needed an oil change no good the car can breakdown on you than they will blame the customer.
