Car was not clean when received water bottles and candy all over.

Very Good|Jul 2023

Very good. I had a medical emergency while I had the rental car out, and Budget arranged for a tow truck to come pick it up where it was parked because i was in the hospital on the return date.

Poor|Apr 2023

The agent would not accept my license, which is a state issued real ID, and told me she could not rent to me until I fixed the problem with my ID. When I asked what I was supposed to do and how I was supposed to get to Chicago for my flight she responded “you’re going to have to figure that out” and offered absolutely no help. I then went across the street to the South Bend airport and had no issues at all renting from their Budget rental desk because there was, in fact, no problem with my ID. The first agent was extremely unprofessional to deal with.
