Cleaning charge for smoking when no one smoked in the car I rented a car in Detriot from Budget. I traveled with my husband, sister-in-law, and her boyfriend, who was a smoker. The boyfriend did not smoke in the car but would often have a cigarette and then get into the car so we could drive to the next destination. I received a letter from Budget 5 days later telling me they were charging me for the cleaning of the car due to the smoke smell. No one smoked in the car and to charge me is just ridiculous. The amount of the charge was $450.00. What a scam. I'm never going to rent from Budget again. I called customer service and they did rescind the charges but it is too late.

Rented a car from Indianaoplis airport Budget here for a work trip Rented a car from here for a work trip. When returning to the airport I dropped the rental off, received my receipt after the person scanned the barcode of the car. Several days later received additional charges for well over $1,000.00. When I called up, they told me I haven't returned the car. I've now been dealing with their loss prevention people; four times I've called. The answer I keep getting is that, "We can't get a hold of anyone at the airport location." NEVER RENT FROM BUDGET

Not Too Bad an Experience at Las Vegas Airport Rented at the Las Vegas airport. Had to wait in line 1 hour. They had no cars ready for pick up. As each customer talked with an agent, the agent called Service and they prepared a car for the customer. It made the process very long. We got to the spot in the garage area and found someone else there, promised a vehicle for the same spot. We got the car; we don't know how the other couple fared. Budget did not include the Customer Facility charge in our prepaid rental estimate. There is no reason for that (it is a daily rate) except it makes the rental price look less expensive than it will be. Leaving the garage and car drop off were very smooth. Do me sure to look car over before you leave the garage; as you leave you have to sign a document indicating no damage on vehicle or exactly what damage you found.

Prepaid for rental but somehow it… Prepaid for rental but somehow it didn't show up in their system. Was charged again for the rental and then asked that I provide bank statement to receive a refund. When I picked up the rental at the airport, the rep offered a "free" upgrade. I was given a car that reeks of cigarettes smell. I exchanged it but they now charged full upgrade price. I don't write reviews but stay away.

Budget rental car- O'Hare Chicago We rented a car for a weekend in Chicago. We flew into O'Hare and went to Budget to get our car. The agent quickly went through the additional services we could get from Budget. Several additions were put on without our consent and added $137 to our bill. The next day I called and asked for a refund I was told no! Now I know my business is worth less than $137. In the future, I'll pay more for a rental somewhere else if it means never using Budget again. because I am worth more than $137.
