Great service
Staff is friendly and very helpful, interacted with several different people, sorry don't have all your names handy. Convenient location. Fairly reasonable prices. One rental car we had, the vehicle was not really clean. Had some dust etc, in the interior.But overall, all good to date, will update if that changes.
Really bad costumer service
Friendly and helpful service. I used this place to rent a cube van when I moved to St. Catharines. Staff were really helpful and processed my rental quickly.
Jas is great
They deserve zero stars. The service and car look good until you get your bill and see you've been charged 'MISTAKENLY' for the most stupid things. Just to give an example we've been charged a late day fee and when I checked the bill it said we returned the car on April 2nd, while we left Yukon on April 1st. Maybe I flew back in next day to return the car???
Despite all the bad reviews on here I needed a car and went with Budget. I was very pleased. Lady at Payless helped me out very fast and Got an awesome Clean Subaru for a week and got my $200 security deposit back as soon as I returned the rental. No problems Used Priceline reservation for discount
Just perfect
Super helpful when I need it. Went above
Only reason I rented a car at budget is because I was a little late and they had no cars left at enterprise other than a pickup. Both charge the same cost for the same car, but with enterprise, you get unlimited km whereas budget charges $0.12 per km after 350km. Of course, they don't tell you that when you call. You learn about it when you get there, at which point I was too much in a hurry to find another car. Given that I had to go to Quebec city, I think renting the pickup at enterprise would have ended up being cheaper. I have no idea how they stay opened with those rates, but never going there again.
I forgot the person's name who was in there when I rented the car, he was very nice and please do not completely base your opinions from reviews, definitely go with your experiences. We are human's and we do make mistakes.
Our rental vehicle was very dirty on the outside and was not that much better on the inside. The car had scrapes on pretty much of the entire front fender and had a chip in the driver's side of the windshield prior to renting. A note in the car said that it had been cleaned/sanitized, but it did not smell clean to us at all.
Terrible customer service. The front desk agent wasn’t helpful. We called the customer representative on a Sunday and he was rude, sarcastic and unhelpful. At the end of our rental they charged us for extra km for we were not advised at the time we picked up the car.
My rental was a Mitsubishi Eclipse cross. What a fantastic vehicle, and brand new to boot! The desk attendant was very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend budget to a friend or colleague.
(Translated) Friendly place, lots of cars, class 5 gdl is not available for rent. (Original) 친절한 곳이고, 차량의 다양성도 많은 곳이나, class 5 gdl은 렌트할 수 없다.
Had a really bad experience with Budget rental. When I arrived at the location in the morning I was told they didn't have a car and wouldn't be able to arrange for one inspite of me having reserved a car for the day a week ago. It's really tough to change all plans made for the day when you get such a response that too after waiting at the location for an hour. If you need a car for an urgent/ important purpose, do not come here.
The agent was helpful and accommodating, although she was out if cars but she made her best to find me one, I personally thank her for that.
The staff here were helpful, my car was nice, and the price was low. The biggest problem is their location. It's just hard to get in and out of, and their lot is very cramped.
Great service, especially during the lockdown. However their billing department has decided to take it upon themselves to charge what they want on my credit card, and I've had to phone them numerous times to get it corrected. If I hadn't caught it, I would have been out almost $200. Watch these guys.
The customer service is hit or miss. I had a woman who was super accommodating and kind when they didn't have what I wanted. Then there was a man who argued with me because he insisted that I had scratched the car even though the report clearly indicated that I had not. Pro: convenient location. Con: poor customer service and inconsistent selection to vehicles. I'd bring my business elsewhere.
I had rented my car from the Victoria BC airport and the staff there was awesome and friendly. When I was finished with the car, I was able to drop it off at this location as I had a friend who was giving me a ride to the BC Ferry. I like the convenience they offer.
Good deals
(Translated) I rented via the internet (June 24, 2019) on their site, a Dodge Grand Caravan of 7 places and paid by credit. On July 26, the date of taking possession, the Dodge Grand Caravan is not available and there is none left in Quebec .... So it gives me a Journey with half less storage, so I call Budget and customer service Yvan tells me it's either a cancellation or two vehicles instead. Unable to hear us, he decides to hang up and get me the branch the next morning to see if the Grand Caravan is available .... When I know that during the leave of construction, everything is already rented or unavailable. In short no real effort to resolve the dispute. Budget is banned from my list of auto rental company, Van, cube. (Original) J'ai loué via internet(24 juin 2019) sur leur site, une Dodge Grand Caravan de 7 places et payé par crédit. Le 26 juillet , la date de prise de possession , la Dodge Grand Caravan n'est pas disponible et il n'en reste aucune au Québec.... Donc il me donne un Journey avec la moitié moins de rangement, donc j'appelle Budget et Yvan du service à la clientèle me répond que c'est soit une annulation ou deux véhicules à la place. Ne pouvant nous entendre , il décide de raccrocher et de me faire rappeler la succursale le lendemain matin pour voir si la Grand Caravan est disponible.... Quand je sais que durant le congé de la construction , tout est déjà loué ou indisponible... Bref aucun réel effort de résoudre le litige. Budget est banni de ma liste de compagnie de location auto,Van,cube.
First time with budget oct 14-16 2015 I usually use enterprise. The service wasn't great or polite ...I didn't get navigation like I was supposed to ...for a Chevy Cruze the Bluetooth wasn't even enabled option and I got a dirty car -wasn't super dirty but had someone's garbage under the seat and dog food crumbs in the trunk .....during rainstorm could smell wet dog smell...my drop off was at the airport ....drop off box had no pen and neither did we and couple other people also rented....a budget employee was dropping a car off ...when we asked a question they swore at us and just kept walking away. Last and only time I would use budget !
First time using this location and had a positive experience. Amy was fantastic to deal with.
The lady the scanned our car for drop off yesterday evening was great. Helpful with directing us to the shuttle and so friendly. Thank you ???? ????
Staff very friendly. No issues renting and returning the car. Cars are neat and tidy- perfect for a weekend escape down or up the island if you're a tourist. many cars to pick, you can book online or just walk in. Will come back if I'm around next time.
Absolutely terrible location manager, he refused to switch the vehicle after I told him I had sanitary issues with my rental. I would suggest you spend your money at Hertz or Enterprise. 0/10 Rating.
This has to be the friendliest rental car outfit I've ever been to.
Fast courteous service, and good value!
I called to reserve a vehicle to rent, I was unable to rent due to age which is no issue. I understand its hard to find a rental car under the age of 21. However too bad I didn't catch the name of the man I was speaking with. he was quite ignorant and rude explained to me very aggressively that no one in the city will rent a vehicle to me. take your business to enterprise down the road where they value you money and treat you with respect. Even though I cant rent from there either the lady I spoke with was very kind and polite. Its worth the couple dollars more for top notch service at enterprise!
WINTER TIRE FEE CHARGED FOR FOUR-SEASON TIRES: They charged me $75 + tax and fee =$81.84 of Tire Mgmt Fee for winter tires on top of pre-paid fee for a five-day rental. The agent at the counter when I picked up the car said she could do nothing about it. Then the next day under bright daylight, I found the car only has four-season tires. I took pictures and send them to them after I returned the car (no agent at booth). However, they still charged me the fee, and no closed rental agreement, which was promised on the key box, was sent to me after 20 days. There are two other car rental booths at the airport. Avoid Budget.
(Translated) New car well maintained. The prices are quite low. (Original) Voiture neuve bien entretenue. Les prix sont assez bas.
Very helpful, got us on our way quickly following a collision in town. Very patient while I was tending to insurance during the vehicle pick.
If I could rate them lower I would. When renting from them in October they first gave us a vehicle with expired plates and as it was below the full tank line when we returned to the London Airport location to report this, they told us we either needed to drive it to get gas or pay their fee to fill the gas tank. This was after waiting for someone to come to the desk (the sign said they would be there at 5 but by 5:15pm we were still waiting.) No apology or anything. I don't know what the other locations are like but I would definitely not recommend renting from this location.
Great service. Highly recommend
Worst rental experience ever, even customer service is rude and angry af!! Trust me, the super long waiting, getting lied to and yelled at is NOT worth the few bucks you may save.
We loved the price (much cheaper than renting from the airport), yet we did have a few disappointments. 1) We were quite shocked that such a modern model did not come with cruise control. 2) Once we were out of province, we began having trouble with the wipers. We phoned and left a message, but never got a call back. Luckily the problem resolved itself. 3) We arranged to bring the car back the morning of Dec 31. Nothing was said about them being closed or opening late nor was there a sign on the door telling us their plans for the day. We simply had to leave the key and trust that they will see no damage on the vehicle and a full tank of gas. We will try a location closer to the airport next time.
Easy to work with, clean cars, great price!
Gaetano at Budget; good customer service hands down! Good attitude, and patient. I highly recommend him whenever you need to rent a vehicle. Enzo
Budget Car Rental customer service was great; both when I picked up the car and when I returned it. Thank you for having caring employees :)
Horrible experience. Nearly 2 hours waiting to be checking into a car for which I prepaid. Clerk at desk undertrained and seemed unable to type. Other employee unhelpful, as was the "manager" the clerk contacted by phone. The price did not offset the frustration and lost time I experienced.
Absolutely amazing. Easy to get and pick up our car. Drop of was super easy. Our flight was cancelled and they had not checked in our car yet so the lady came and found us to let us know we could still have it until the next day. Upon next day drop off the wonderful lady Kelsey I believe her name is, was super kind, friendly and accommodating for all the struggles we had had with our flight being cancelled. I highly recommend this rental company. Also the vehicle was clean and very well kept We used the Sydney, ns airport location Give Kelsey a raise
Worst car company ever! The service was nonexistent and they didn't have a vehicle as promised. I would recommend never using this company....hitchhiking is preferable ....(and I don't think anyone should ever hitchhike)...
The rental car was dirty, im never able to use the fastbreak at pick up, we have yet to receive our amazon gift cards, and turning the car in is not set up well. Im sorry, but this experience did not go well.
I always thought that U-Haul was the only option and luckily, I was wrong! These guys have a great range of vehicles, cars and trucks to choose from. I was able to make a same day reservation for a moving truck during a busy time and when U-Haul had nothing available. Thank you guys for providing me with what I needed when I needed it! I will definitely use Budget in the future. Their prices are very reasonable as well.
!!WARNING DO NOT GO HERE!!AWFUL SERVICE!!! Unbelievable! Was promised and confirm a rental rate only to be refused the rate once I went to pick up the car at this location. Understand things happen and mistake could have been made, but the older man at the desk completely rude and completely dismissive, absolutely no customer service skills at all. Rented with this company many times before , will no longer beuse this rental company as this location was completely disgusting in there service.
Booked online a couple of times and my car was always ready and there was always someone there to help me get on my way as fast as possible. Good clean cars and friendly staff. Try them you won't regret it
We did not see the employees wearing any masks. Neither they had any glass panels installed on their desk which could keep us away from their coughs/sneezes. Extremely disappointed as to how lenient the employees were behaving especially in the time of this pandemic. Expected much more sanitized and safe environment. Please visit this facility during this pandemic at your own risk
Mr. Ahmad provided me with exceptional service, and ensured a pleasant check-in experience. He was courteous and friendly throughout. Definitely impressed with how smoothly and fast everything went. I would definitely be sharing my experience with my friends and returning back to budget in the near future.
Has to be WORST experience I’ve had with a rental company. I paid for and reserved a Full Size car, they gave me an Elantra and refused to accept that their own website lists Elantra as an intermediate car. I was dropping off at a different location and the guy admitted that they like to keep nice cars for same city rentals so the car stays with their location. You are definitely better off booking with Enterprise/National, AVOID budget/Avis at all costs.
I should have listened to the bad reviews, but i decided to risk this place. Don't make my mistake. They allow bookings until 5:30, but close exactly at 5:30! How does that logically make sense?!? After taking the bus all the way there, and banging on the windows, the lady essentially told me that there was nothing to do because her computers were off! Seriously? Just turn them on. Not that hard. She was unhelpful, inconsiderate, offered no solutions, and seemed like she really couldn't be bothered to help. Never again Budget. Never again. Your customer service SUCKS!
The location is good for pickups, easy TTC and Go Connectivity. Rates could be better.
Absolutely fantastic service. Easy to work with and the car was spot on. I would highly recommend Budget at the London Airport.
Baylee Caswell helped us out with our rental. This level of customer service is becoming rare. Super grateful and helpful!
I have rented a vehicle from this location a few times. The location is very convenient, just a 10 min walk from my home. One time, I needed a van for the family, and I had reservations, but it took them an extra a few hours to get the van. The manager was nice, and understandably, it wasn't something he could control. All in all, its a good convenient place.
I specifically called ahead and discussed my flight landing late and if anyone would be there to pick up my car. They told me yes and they had all my flight information. When I got to the rental building no one was there and when I called customer services the first guy I talked to hung up on me. I finally got through to someone who could help me change the reservation to the next morning but now I was stuck at 1am in the ontario rental building. Horrible advise to give me and not happy st all that I was put in this situation when I specifically tried to avoid it. There were about 5 other families and individuals there with me who all said they called ahead and were told the same thing. NOT OK AT ALL!!!
Nice people at the counter. Well maintained cars. Prompt service over phone during the rental period. I’ve had to extend my rental duration and it was done in 5 mins.
Icbc told them they would pay. Had a glitch and they said they wouldnt pay. Before calling me to sort it out the scrambled to take a payment asap and screwed up my credit card. Dont you think they should have called me first. I called the adjuster and she had t sorted out. Also they charged ICBC an extra day ( i returned a day early) because they are scammers like that. I told them flat out I would not pay an extra day for the upgrade. Scammers.
Amazing service.
Good
Tldr; got charged 3 weeks after my rental and failed to get any info on why I was charged. I've had to file a complaint with my bank for fraudulent charge Long version- 3 weeks after renting a car I got charged $200 on my credit card. Their customer service call centre agent told me it's for a violation and gave me a number to call. That agent told me they don't have any info of a violation on my rental. They gave me someone else's number. Again no info on my violation. After 2 hours and 6 different calls, I finally got a number for Avis/Budget's local Vancouver Violation ticket office. No one has returned my call to even tell me why I got charged or atleast give me a ticket number. Pathetic service
Do not rent a car from this place. They are extremely rude! I made a reservation online, and when arriving 30 minutes before my scheduled pickup time they told me I have to come back in 30 minutes... So I came back in 30 minutes and they asked me what my rush was?!! What the rush is... I NEED A CAR! Simple.
An unusual problem cropped up when I tried to pick up my rental at the Fastbreak hut at Ontario Airport. I'd reserved a car the week prior and was unaware that the transaction didn't go through. Apparently my credit card was rejected as the address for the card was discrepant from my address with Budget. The manager and another employee attempted to use the two (debit) cards I had with me to no avail. The manager (a woman whose name I neglected to write down) was tenacious in trying to discover what had happened. Eventually, she found out about the discrepancy and was able to right the ship so that I could obtain the car. She stayed with the process for a good half-hour before working it out. That's one fine employee!
Good, but they intentionally add the insurance on my rental car.
Extremely helpful and very friendly staff. Came in after going to other rentals but these guys spent like 20 minutes trying to explain and find us the best possible deal. Very impressed and would highly recommend. Thank you guys.
Pick up was seamless and the car was clean. However, you should not be renting out a car that just wreaks of cigarette smoke. Having to sit in that for 6 hours was one of the worst experiences imaginable. I don't know how the car cleaning guy let that pass.
Mike Moore, the manager at this Budget location is awful. He is extremely rude and confrontational if anything about your rental gets changed. For some reason he personally believes that the cars he rents are HIS. He will attempt to bully you into paying outlandish fees, and blatantly lie about policy. Of all the rental locations I’ve dealt with over my many years of renting his location is the absolute worst; avoid it at all costs. Like other reviewers have mentioned he does not care about the customer and makes it abundantly clear. Respect yourself enough and rent somewhere else.
Great service here and a good choice of cars. Nice that they are open on a Sunday morning too.
Fast process and the car brand new. Everything was ok in this facility
No one working during hour of operation. Be back sign with phone number and never picks up
Best price with best serice Never been disappointed
Terrible experience . Not only did our rental car break down. But their roadside assistance told us to drive 3 hours in the car to another state to pick up a new car. Upon dropping off the car, the supervisor justin let me know that he could only take off one day, never apologized for our terrible experience. Poor customer service and poor experience. I will NEVER rent from budget again.
Very friendly, good cars at reasonable prices.
Got charged 87 dollars for a 24 hour compact car rental, what a joke.
Great hours means you can rent flexibly, always have cars available (at least for my needs) and offers consistent, affordable pricing. Cars are generally new and in good shape.
Great service!
I rented a jeep grand Cherokee for 5 days at the end of April 2016, as my truck was in the shop at Suburban Ford. I got a great rate thru Suburbans relationship, the Jeep was in new condition but the best part was when I returned the Jeep on April 30. I had left my parking pass in the jeep, Budget staff took the time to call me, advise me, and because I could not make it in until after hours the girl placed my pass in a mutually agreed hiding place. To my delight when I arrived at Budget my park pass was right where we agreed. It was this extra mile the girl took that has earned my future business.
Awesome people! Very polite and helpful. The cars are always clean!
These guys have great service!
Hamza did a good job to make my rental experiance go smooth.thanx
(Translated) The clerk called Ernst waited after hours to allow me to return the car and save a day rental even if he had to miss his bus and wait another hour! It made me happy to take him to the bus station. Thank you Ernst for a 5 star service !!!!!

I gladly gave him a lift to the bus station. Thank you Ernst 5 stars service !!!!

Excellent!
Superior service. Family from overseas came to rent a larger vehicle for four weeks. The exact vehicle model they requested wasn't available (although a very similar one was), but the attendant made sure all needs were met and offered much appreciated discounts to make amends. I've rented a fair amount and have almost never encountered such good service. It helped make their trip even better.
Excellent customer service. Justis was wonderful! He informed us that windshield and tire damage is very common in the Yukon and that the additional insurance coverage is a good idea. They also have a notice posted for their customers indicating the same message. It is evident that this Budget cares about the customer. Will rent again from here. Thank you!
It's extremely expensive
Good place to rent cars
Nice cars, all GM/Chrysler vehicles.
Although they did not have any cars available, the Branch person whose name I did not get, was very professional even reaching out to other competitors for cars and eventually gave me a ride at no charge to the VIA train station,
Rented from this location while visiting in Regina, thought the guys were great. Started out with Devon at Regina Airport who exceeded our expectations and then passed us off to Coldon who continued to help us! Gave them a 5 rating but still waiting for my air miles??
Limited selection of vehicles. Do not offer attractive deals.
We rented a Budget car for our trip to Newfoundland. We purchased third party car insurance. During our time, a bag containing the key to the rental car was stolen. We had to access roadside assistance. Of course, we were charged for the tow. We need to make a claim but what has been very frustrating is that Budget did not provide us with a breakdown of those expenses for insurance purposes. I had to call several departments for the an itemized list of expenses, but they all gave us the run around. Their billing department is very disorganized. I would suggest anyone other than Budget for your vacation.
Fantastic service. Omar was very helpful. We were able to extend our rental 3 times because ours was still not ready at the mechanic. Car was clean and price was good.
Pleasant and helpful staff
Staff is always friendly and courteous. Always happy renting from Budget
I had a great experience here. The car was great and the staff were very helpful.
At first I was happy cause i was able to get a pretty good deal for a full-sized carover the phone but, when I arrived from the airport, there were no cars available so they forced me to take a large, lumbering, gas-guzzling SUV instead. Not f***ing impressed. ???????????? Rent a car elsewhere.
These guys are liars and thieves. Be supper careful that everything they say is on the paper when you sign. They told me that the second driver was not charged because it was an ICBC claim and both insured drivers from our own car had to be on the rental. Then charged us the fee anyways at the end. Don't believe them on anything. Budget gets sued then any other rental company. ICBC must get a kick back since they insist you twenty from here. Totally immoral.
They were the best part of our trip. Heidi
Extremely slow service and the staff is pretty unfriendly, but the cars and prices are decent.
Pretty bad experience here. Be afraid for few bucks, they will be overcharging with no reason fees after you finish your trip. They stole your money. If you left a grain of ground in the floor. They charge you cleaning service. Read all the other reviews!! By the way. They did not have cars even if you have booked with time. I had to wait more than one hour for my car. Look for other rental place!!
They never pick up the phone. Tried 5 times.
Awesome prices and great services
We rented a pick up truck and it was a nice new truck but it didn't have running boards on it!!!! How on earth did you think we were going to get into it????? If you were 12 feet tall you could probably get in it easily. But not for seniors.
Best service we’ve had in a long time. The guys knows everything you need answers to and processes very fast. Super kind & polite. What a legend
I had a much better customer service experience with Daniel at Budget Victoria (airport location) than I had with the manager at Avis downtown Victoria.
Friendly staff, quick service,good price
The receptionist was nice and efficient. Got me in and out in a timely manner. Even when i dropped off the car the next day the lady that checked my car in was EXTREMLY friendly. I will definitely rent from budget again! The car was clean too.
My sister came to visit. She paid for insurance, and was the victim of a hit-and-run in town. The deductible on the Budget insurance was $15,000. In other words, there is no insurance. On top of that, they charged her a daily fee until the repairs were done. I would NEVER recommend Budget to a friend.
Nothing on website showing cars and prices . Guess they don't want any body to know
Fast rent and nice cars!
When I had to rent a car when mine was in the shop, the budget team offered me a free upgrade to a premium car at no additional car. Thank you budget for an awesome experience. You guys rock!
Clean and well maintained cars. Excellent and friendly staff. No pressure to buy any extras like insurance or counter products. Got a free upgrade as well. Really appreciate the communication and friendliness of the staff at this location.
Reasonable price, when my car was not available they gave me an upgrade, friendly employees, was shown how to operate certain features in the car I was confused about.
The staff here handled all details exceptional
AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Kaylyn & Jessica gave a very high level of customer service with their professionalism and friendliness. This made the experience much more enjoyable and confidence inspiring during the rental process. The vehicles at this location are in excellent shape, even the vans are kept properly clean! I have used this location 3 times in the past 3 months. Definitely will be revisiting this place for my next rental! A+
good services
They are the worst. I showed up on Dec 26th after hours of delays and when I went to the counter at 11p told me that they were "not honoring" my "same day" reservation. No previous notice or cancelation, just left me stranded at the airport. Reality is they overbooked theirs cars and left me hanging. I asked they at least get me a taxi but said their manager would have to approve. I waited for 20min but they never showed so I left and paid for a uber myself. Ridiculous.
Need a rent car.
Terrible customer service. I was given information over the phone then told something completely different in person, and was spoken to like the issue was my fault in a very rude manner.
Car was gassed up and ready to go. Got a free upgrade to a Honda SUV which was great because I was travelling to Haliburton. Your agents at the counter were pleasant and courteous. One man showed me how to use the four wheel drive option in the car if I experienced snowy conditions. Loved the car. Comfortable and easy on fuel consumption. No complaints.
(Translated) it is difficult to see the availability to rent a truck to move. It's as if on the site I can just rent a car or come from an airport ... I'm looking on the site ... it's really not easy. (Original) c'est dont bien compliqué voir les disponibilitéspour louer un camion pour déménager. C'est comme si sur le site je peux juste louer une voiture ou provenir d'un aéroport... j'ai beau chercher sur le site... c'est vraiment pas facile.
So, these guys really did a good job. Let me tell you why: it's December 28th, the height of the holiday season/madness is going on, and I forgot to make plans to rent a car until last minute. I usually rent from Enterprise, but including the drop fee, my 36 hour rental would come to $298. Cut to me phoning Budget the day I want to rent a car, without a previous reservation mind you, and they not only drive to my house to pick me up and take me to the rental place, but when I get there, I learn that they've been swamped all day with customers, and one of their shift supervisors hadn't shown up for work that day, so it was just two guys (one of them very new to the job) dealing with a horde of customers. English was neither of their first languages, so I was very impressed with how calm and collected they were while they worked their way through the long line of people. When they got to me, they ended up getting me a far better vehicle than I had hoped for, and at about a third of the price that I would have had to pay at Enterprise. Budget may not be the fanciest establishment, but those two were definitely working their butts off, and they deserve to know it. Cheers!
I usually deal with Enterprise. They are so customer centric. And the experience with budget I have is quite opposite. My dad was moving so he was using his Credit card to pay for the rental and for me to be able to drive I had to pay $10. The whole deal was dad pays for it but I will be the only driver. They couldn't make an exception. Where as Enterprise always make an exception. I will choose budget if I don't have another option.
This location is awesome its always quick but yet connected with thier customers. Would definitely recommend this location.
Good prices and convenient location (if you can find it) for a day rental near Old Quebec. It was much cheaper than getting a rideshare to Hotel de Glace and Ile d'Orleans that we wanted to visit. Upgrading to an AWD SUV because of weather wasn't an issue either.
Was in Ontario for my kids Softball tournament, had to leave the hotel at 5:30 am to get to the fields. Car had a dead battery and we waited 7 hours for Budgets roadside assistance to show up. They would not let me get another car till the one I had was picked up by the tow truck. Completely unacceptable to leave us hanging in 90 degree weather.
Great customer service, friendly, clean vehicles. I rent often and always have a great experience.
I had a good experience and staff is very quick and helpful. I got 2018 model and it was amazing. Thank you guys.
Friendly staff and awesome car selection
It was great experience. They are really professional and friendly. They give me 100 kms for free. Thanks.
Very nice staff, fast checkout of car
I reserved a car to be picked up at this location through Air Miles. On the reservation it asked me when I will be picking up the car, the time I put down was about 1:30 after my flight into the Kitchener Airport was scheduled to land. The day I travelled to Kitchener/Waterloo my flight ended up being delayed a couple of hours. Aparently while I was in the air, someone from this Budget location called my cell phone but never left a voicemail (I have Who Called from Rogers) When I arrived at the Budget location the manager told me they thought I was going to be a no show and already cancelled my reservation but told me it was not a problem and I will receive a card, which I did, and I thought everything was fine. Little did I know, after my trip to Kitchener/Waterloo, when I received my credit card bill I found out that I was being charged the Full regular price for the rental, even though I used Air Miles to purchase this rental. Subsequently everyone at Budget s customer support was unable to fix this mistake and give me refund, even when I contacted Air Miles support they told me that only Budget can give me a refund for this mistake. It was not until I disputed the charges directly with my credit card company was when I finally received a refund. What is completely ridiculous about this is this ALL would have never happened if the manager at this location did not cancel my reservation because I was only 2 hours late and did not answer my phone because I was in an airplane.
Was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Rented a Volkswagen Jetta. Performed like a champ. Drop off was a breeze
They had a car available for me at very short notice, which is great, but the car was a little dirty when I picked it up first thing in the morning (they could have cleaned it overnight) and they did not have a key drop for returns outside of business hours... Fast and efficient service though. But there is room for improvement.
best place to rent a car so far
The 2 girls that where working left the station with a line full of us. I waited 35 minutes before I decided to go to Enterprise and ask for help. It took a Enterprise worker to go ask a Avis employee to help me. I will never do business with budget again. I paid way to much money to be treated like trash. From budget on reviews, it states the customer is always right. I wasn't treated equal at all. I wasn't greeted and neither was the others in line because I was the 1st one in line at 2pm. Budget gave me a horrible experience
Booked a car for a one day Saturday rental. Got there and the vehicle we'd booked wasn't available. We were given a different one, but told that (despite what we'd been told when booking by phone) it would have to be a two day booking as they're not open on Sundays. Yet when checking their hours it turns out they ARE open on Sundays. They are greedy liars with horrible customer service.
Amazing experience overall! Great service!
This was good, I've had some bad experiences with other companies in Sault Ste Marie. They were up front, available when the plane landed. Thank you for making my trip a positive experience! The only thing I would have liked is a different car, but, that was a minor thing.
Good service
Easy to get to, even if walking from around the main downtown area that has the hotels.
these folks are always great everytime I need a rental. The cars/trucks are clean and ready to go when I arrive. The team are happy and helpful.
Fantastic experience. The person who was assisting me was either the owner or the manger and felt like he was practically a saint. Last summer I rented a car from Budget at the Pearson location and ended up with a NIGHTMARE. Luckily, this man took the time to listen to my story and take care of my problem on behalf of Budget. He cared about my situation, and was super pleasant to my wife and daughter. He didn't have to do this. He made no money from this, but he cared about the company brand and future customers. He called the district manager, solved my nightmare of a problem with billing and a botched inspection on pick up (my fault, should have done it before I took the car). If it wasn't for him, my vacation would have sucked. I wish I remembered his name, but I believe he came from Somalia(?) years ago. Great guy, super service. Thank you so much. I will rent from your location each time, and every time I am in Windsor, On. This guy will forever stay in my mind as an example of what customer service should be.
Hamza thanks for Best service!! Rental cars very good!
first class service & manager Gee too
People are a bit rude
This car rental place is a joke.I had to wait an hour in line to return my car.Got charged for it.Too many hidden fees and they even charged me for my 10% discount will never use again.
Couldn’t have asked for better service form Hamza and his team. First class experience
I rented a car from you guys I returned it a few minutes late and got charged almost the same amount I rented the car for I was late like 12 minutes all other car rentals give you a half hour grace period specialy with all the construction in the area
Amaizing staff friendly. I have never had a bad experience at this budget&avis location. The are awesome. So much better that any nearby rent car location.
At avis or budget If you don't open your eyes, they will open it for you, I hope ya understand what I mean
Very helful staff. The guy named Hamza was very helpful.
Called for a rental. The Gentleman was so rude on phone. Forget it. Not going there
The only place where you can meet staff in the whitehorse airport
We were forced to evacuate our home in Fort McMurray and had no vehicle. The gentleman working at this Budget stayed open for an extra 1.5 hours so that I could receive a minivan we requested that had to be brought over from a different location.
I rent a car from here. when I return the car, they don’t give me drop off??????? I need walk to home. I can’t believe it. OMG????Does everyone rent car here like this? Another companies are way better than here!!!! I won’t never rent car from here. ????
Convenient, clean, and the agent who assisted me gave me great options with an upgrade since they had no more vehicles of my reservation choice
I booked online, and the car was ready. That's good!
Class act
Derek needs professional mental Help.. Unprofessional the way he speaks and very rude to customers .
Reservation booked online was forgotten, poor customer service at downtown location. Had to drive to another location to pick up vehicle.
When going to pick up the rental car I had to wait longer in line than it took for me to fly into the airport. The people that worked there were great, but the system they have in place does not allow them to send customers out of the door faster than they come in it. It's easily over an hour and a half wait if theres more than 5 people ahead of you. They have 7 computers and only 2 people helping. Then they share 1 radio to communicate to the car lot. They have backup radios they're not allowed to use because management wont let them. My company uses Budget for all of their travel and I will be requesting that we change to another rental agency that wont cause me to miss my appointments due to their poor operations.
Staff is amazing
Very courteous and great customer service. Good selection of vehicles, easy to extend.
amazing friendly staff and the vehicles are very clean and brand new .
Car ???? was great. Everyone working at location were awesome!!! Everyone!!!!! Gaetano amazing!!!
Good service
Amazing car rental agency. They do all that is humanly possible to help you and are willing to travel far too come pick you up. Great experience
Look for deals. Sweet new loaded cars.
Used this rental point 3rd time. The car corresponded to what I booked, clean and, operated fine. The guy at the counter was friendly, suggested additional insurance items but when I refused he was not intrusive. The facility is not luxurious but corresponds the neighborhood. Overall impression is positive - nothing to complain.
Really bad costumer service, I wish I could give them 0 star!! The lady that looks like being the boss/owner wasn't polite at all. She is really rude with the employees even in our presence! Try another rent a car for sure!!
The experience with budget was on like a 3 star at first, since the car was quite beat up and when it went over 80KM it would shutter like crazy. The reason for the 1 start was because when I looked at our statement they charged us to fill up our tank of gas when we returned the car.... even though we filled it up 100%. Apparently I was told that sometimes people will steal gas from parked cars. The issue was that after providing my receipt it took a month and a half to get a refund, and I had to pester the Manager Mike. Not super profession to tell people that we will get a refund in 24 to 48 hours, when it was, 24 to 48 days......
Very good customer service. Got a free upgrade.
absolutely TERRIBLE like most businesses these days! I can't even get a live person on the phone! The automated system tells me there isn't a tollfree # to call after I call the local number! DO NOT go with these people.
Your customer service representative at the Ontario Airport in Ontario, California are very rude and condescending. First, he was complaining that he couldn't hear me because I had my face mask on. But he didn't get up to come closer to me, he just kept sitting in his chair being rude and saying he couldn't hear me. He would have been able to hear me if he had just gotten up and came to the counter where I was standing. Im not sure what he expected.. for me to take my mask off and put myself and everyone around me in danger? Come on... Secondly, he said they were sold out of all cars, but I was able to make a reservation right there at the airport. I don't believe he was telling the truth, he was trying to get me to make a reservation for a more expensive car. I was able to make a reservation through the website, but he refused to release a car to me. He was very, very rude and it shows that your employees need to be re-trained in the customer service portion of their jobs. The way this situation was handled was unacceptable.
A bit pricey but professional staff and good units -- especially Toyotas
Quick service and staff was helpful. It shares the office with Avis car rental. Though parking is limited so have less cars here. Better to book in advance
The staff at the airport location we awesome ! Got me set up and on my way. Thanks guys!
Good car rentals and vans that only open Limited hours but easy to deal with.
Always helpful....Great vehicles in stock. Thanks
I rent a vehicle from here every year I come to the okanagan. Its fast and friendly service.
Excellent customer service! Requested a car last minute and when they couldn't find the category I wanted they offered me free upgrade! Will definitely come back again !
I have to wait a lot to get a car moreover I have to go to another place to get a car. The other location budget car rental receptionist tried to rip me off by charging me more. Finally, I came to know and I save my money. Please don't go there unless and until you have a promo code or discount, because you are paying the same amount to another place where you get good services. Don't go to this location 2746 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4N 2J2.
TJ at the front desk was EXTREMELY helpful, professional, and polite. He called to make sure we were still in need of the rental (we were late in arriving to pick it up) and then had everything ready for a fast rental. The car is in great shape and he was able to switch our date to accommodate us, with a smile! We will definitely use Budget when we are in Canada next summer!
never even rented a car from, 1 star for the qoute. $700 qoute for rental to Calgary. Disgusting.
fantastic
Check-in was a nightmare, took too long and cost more than expected; the car got worse gas mileage than my 2009 Cobalt; there was some kind of film and streaks on the inside of the windshield that made it nearly impossible to see through at night and burned my eyes whenever I turned the air on, and the car handled horribly.
Reasonable price. Nice car. No complaints at all.
Good car, good service and overall excellent
(Translated) Expensive and less insurance Service is unfriendly. The car was ok. But there's no reason to rent it here. 3 more companies (Original) 비싸고 보험도 적게된다. 서비스도 불친절하다. 차는 괜찮았음. 근데 여기서 빌릴 이유는 딱히 없을 듯. 다른업체가 3개나 더 있음
Booked a car online , pre paid and when I arrived to pick up my car they said they didn’t have any of price range available and i would need to pay more. And if you don’t pay more they wont do anything you will need to call Budget to cancel the reservation.
Rented a “LUXURY SUV”! A Ford Explorer. I know it’s expensive in the interior but for a 27hr rental at $425 it’s slightly ridiculous. Didn’t receive good customer service from the worker at the desk. Here’s the keys sign here, bye. Think I’ll hire a driver next time I’m there for work, probably be more cost effective.
Bad service !!! No cars !! What a joke !
Realy the best place to rent a car and they have a great service
Clean gassed up cars and great customer service
Don't even answer the phone
Great cars and service with very little fuss. Rates are pretty decent compared to competitors and they give free upgrades in case of unavailability of selected vehicle class
had really good service from them. The new manager is very helpful and I am a regular there now, good prices and service
Best customer service in town. Always friendly and look out for the needs of their customers!
We booked in April for an August pick up and PRE-PAID for the rental in full. Upon arrival Avis did not hold our reservation or have a vehicle for us - despite 4 vehicles of our class sitting on the lot. We missed our accommodations due to them no honouring the agreement. Staff tried to help but will not cover what we lost and have only offered a free 2 day rental in the future (in US only with loads of conditions).
Great customer service. Associate on site ensured and did his best to not just accomodate our request but went well above and beyond to ensure me and my family was satisfied with the car. Car we got was brand new and just under 1500kms. I have rented with them in St Albert multiple times and every time they have a nice new and clean car for us. 100% recommended for your rental needs. Keep up the great work Budget St.Albert.
Wonderful and helpful service. Even though it was extremely busy, staff was friendly and helpful. Will rent again there.
Use this location as a first choice regularly as I use veh rentals regularly through my work. The site always meets my varying rental needs. The guy I always deal with is great also. No complaints at all.
Best service Easy and best way to rent a car
Good friendly customer service. Explained things well and validated my concerns well.
Friendly staff. Location is hard to get in and out of due to local traffic
Good service picked up Budget car rental from the airport and I was able to drop it off at this location without any trouble. Decent price for 4 days booking direct from Budget website. Good location but a bit tricky to get to the place by vehicle but easily accessible by bicycle if you are renting a bigger vehicle.
I regularly rent from this location and have had no major problems. They have satisfactorily solved any issues that arise.
No rent for foreign drivers license holders.
very friendly staff. highly recommend
Simple& easy. Great experience
The manager, and his employees are very unprofessional and rude and they rip you off whenever they can!!! Be aware and never use this place to rent a car
Would only allow truck reservations 3 weeks out or less. I want to secure the truck now. Will have to take my business elsewhere.
Customer service was excellent. Counter Representative for Budget, she took care of my trip needs. I look forward to renting again from location on my next visit in area. A2B Entertainment/MTM Models/ Swagga Digital Magazine... Big Broom'???? A2B ???????? Blessings ????????????
Heads up that if you return the car early you won’t receive any money back. Wasn’t given a heads up before hand…buried in the fine print. Pretty disappointing.
Great staff and service at this location. Truck was in great condition and everything went smoothly with the rental. The only negative and the reason for the 4 rather than 5 stars is that I did not get a receipt. I was told to go to the World Wide Web site to get my receipt and was not able to get it despite several attempts. Customer should not need to struggle with technology to get a receipt for the rental.
Got me an SUV when a rival rental car company said they couldn't. They also gave it to me for cheaper. Would recommend.
I would give less stars if there was an option - after renting a car for nearly two months to deal with a death in the family, I returned it only to have to argue my way out of them trying to overcharge me an entire week; spent over an hour there fighting for the correct amount and they wouldn't give me a final invoice to prove the amount I paid (which wasn't a small fee). For my trouble, I was discounted a pidly amount and then they charged more money (including the discount) to my card a week later, after telling me they would contact me before charging me for any additional fees (which they didn't see me owing). DO NOT RENT FROM HERE.
The service agency operator Hamza Ahmad went above and beyond, making me, as a customer feel valued and assuring that all of my needs were met. The whole team was a pleasure to deal with. This is a busy location, and because of the great service they process a lot of customers, so when phoning for information, be patient if your call isn't answered right away.
.
Very professional people
Amazing staff, really take care of customer. The Yukon Xl is really one of best vehicle to take on the road. Definitely recommend. Most fair price in town. Thanks again guys
The staff at this location are great. We came for a rental with a revised time from what is said on the reservation so that created a bit of conflict. They didn't had vehicles at the time of pick up but they got us an upgrade for an SUV. Hamza did an amazing job and is pleasant to deal with!
(Translated) Gorgeous (Original) Splendide
Helpful staff. Friendly. Car was clean and reliable.
Worst location to deal with, already had a booking for rental at this location. Talked to a guy in the morning before booking uber to make sure everything is Ok, guess what they were closed when we arrived within 20mins of our phonecall. Tried calling them but no answers, waited outside for about an hour just in a hope that somebody might come back. Ruined our whole day. Will not recommend anybody to bring their business at this location. They don’t even deserve a single star????????.
“Budget Car Rental has fast and friendly service. We were happy to receive an upgrade for our rental reservation. The vehicle we received was a 2018 Ford Edge which was great on gas and very comfortable to drive. The staff were great and we would rent there again! Justice, the customer service rep at the counter was very helpful and courteous. Thanks!”
Well beyond customer expectations. Supper helpful, friendly and accommodating.
We were very impressed with the service we received at Budget Car Rentals. We had been confirmed with another rental agency with a reservation that did not get honoured. We ended up having to scramble to find another rental. Budget was sure to secure us a rental and was very friendly and accommodating. We were very impressed with their speed and organization. My next visit to Dartmouth I know I will be renting from them again! Also easy Airport drop off makes life so much easier! :)
They were able to fix a minor hiccup quickly and had my wive on her way. Thank you!
Stay away from them. They are involved in credit card fraud against customers. I'm trying to receive my money back and will have to go to court agaisnt them.
Wonderfull staff and hassle-free. Car companies usually give me headaches, but I had a great experience at Budget St.Albert! 5/5
don't leave your wallet in the car. they will steal it! they stole my 200 dollar cash and 900 dollar valued wallet and dumped all of my cards and driver's licence at the ocean shore. this is how they treat the customers in stupid and disrespectful way

Terrible service. Closed doors 15 min before suggested time.
Awsome food....will be back...
(Translated) Booked a car in advance, paid with a credit card. I flew in and ... the car was not given due to the fact that the credit card was prepaid, although there was money on it. And he offered to pay the security deposit in cash. In short, I had to travel by taxi and partly on foot. Now I will knock out the money paid back!

Very polite! Was relatively quick to leave with a rental vehicle.
the most courteous and helpful team
very informative with good service. quick & efficient..... the official choice when MoveALLofIT is traveling.
Speedy service, vehicle OK, no one to take you to vehicle pick up so best to photograph car condition, fuel etc for future reference. Reasonable price.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - Moving Day - "Sorry WE DON"T HAVE YOUR VAN FOR YOU" It was the morning of my moving day and my Mum had rented a truck to drive from St. Catharines to Burlington, make a move across Burlington, and back to St. Catharines. I had to get out of my current living situation and had asked for the help of family friends, one of whom had to be back in Niagara for 3pm. My Mum had called about four times during the week prior to moving day to make sure the van would be available first thing that morning. At 8am on moving day, Budget Rental called to say "Sorry, the person who had your van hasn't returned it and we can't get a hold of them." WHAT?! I needed to move and had to do so within a few hours, and suddenly we don't have a moving van? Budget offered NO solutions, help, OR discount. We had to rent from UHaul and when we asked for a print out of the receipt from Budget to see if UHaul would do a price match, Budget refused to give us one. What an incredibly unprofessional and unreliable company. They were hardly apologetic and had no extra vehicles available. Do not rent from this company unless you're flexible with your moving plans and don't mind receiving no compensation when your plans get messed up.
Great customer service, decent prices, clean cars!
Budget car rental in Ontario doesn’t care about their customers. The longest line I have ever experienced. And only one person at a counter, not even bother to speed up the process! What a waist of time and horrible customer services! The only good thing is a facility has a beautiful floor, you can stare at it for hours while you wait!
(Translated) Service counter no man with drugged man ... pure customer services still a place to avoid not to spoil your day .... it was the first time and it will be the last ...... (Original) Service au comptoire nul avec homme drogué...services à la clientèle pure encore une place à éviter pour ne pas gâcher votre journée .... ça été la première fois et ça va être la dernière......
(Translated) We received a damaged vehicle and luckily we had pictures taken before leaving, because when we returned from the rental, he tried to accuse us of having damaged the vehicle. If you have to rent a car, go somewhere else! (Original) Nous avons reçu un véhicule endommagé et heureusement qu'on avait pris des photos avant de partir, car au retour de location, il a tenté de nous accuser d'avoir endommagé le véhicule. Si vous devez louer une auto, allez ailleurs!
Terrible customer service , they can't do anything because of corporate rules
Fast friendly service
Reserved and paid for my rental online. It was quick and easy. The car I received was great and very clean! Will definitely rent from Budget again.
Well. Let me start by saying. I can never get anyone to answer the phone at any of the places I rent from. So much for fast track. I still had to go.inside to get my vehicle. I rented a van and did not get a van.
Quick, professional service. Car was clean. Extra Star for the Prius. Good business should succeed.
Really great staff, affordable and great customer experience!
The person who manages the Budget downtown location is a really nice person and so easy to deal with. All my experiences with Budget have been easy. I also love their website and simplicity in booking a car online.
Not the greatest customer service. My fault, I know, but I got on the plane with my keys. Their response was: since they cannot rent the car until they get the keys, then I would be charged. I understand their thought behind this, and would agree if their fleet was rented and they had to refuse vehicle rentals, as this would be lost revenue and I should be on the hook for lost revenue. My issue is their fleet was not rented, not having access to the car did not influence their profits. If they truly cared about customer service, or their reputation, they would have said no worries, unless all other similar class cars are rented, in which case, they would charge me. That would be a customer first approach, as opposed to a profit first, customer second approach. Luckily I knew someone on the flight going the other direction and was only charged for an extra day, which still does not make sense as the keys were returned within the initial 24 hour window, give or take 20 minutes. Anyways, they are not interested in their clients best interests, which is why I am only giving 1 star.
The truck I rented was dirty and it needed new brakes. When I told them, they replied "ok the garage is right across the street. " We'll get them fixed. Never mind trying to makes things right for me. Not an offer of ANYTHING. So I guess from now on, it's U Haul I'll call.
I have rented from here more than once. It's a small place with limited selection but the staff is super friendly and the prices are reasonable.
Very very bad service and they are not reliable I tried to complain but, the supervisor was worst than the call center guy
Great FAST service, really great prices! Quick and easy, no hassle rental!! Will use them again everywhere i go! Friendly service, open late if you have a late flight!!!
Can't reccomend this place enough! Omar went above and beyond to help me out to get a rental last minute on a Sunday and was very helpful and kind.
(Translated) SCAM! Internet reservation at $ 53, on site we are asked for $ 80 for no reason! And a month later, without warning us, we were charged $ 35 for gasoline when we had refueled as at the start (it was only half when we got the car). It has been over a month since I have been told that I will be reimbursed and .. still nothing! After contacting customer service I am told that no refund request has been made by the Hilton branch. INADMISSIBLE. (Original) ARNAQUE ! Réservation internet a 53$, sur place on nous en demande 80$ sans aucune raison ! Et un mois plus tard, sans nous prévenir, on nous prélève 35$ de frais d'essence alors que nous avions remis le plein comme au départ (celui-ci n'était qu'a la moitié lorsque nous avions récupéré la voiture). Cela fait plus d'un mois que l'on me dit que je vais être remboursée et.. toujours rien ! Après avoir contacté le service client on m'explique qu'aucune demande de remboursement n'a été effectué par la succursale Hilton.. INADMISSIBLE.
Easy rental and a good price overall. Quite satisfied with the service
I was very happy with the kind of car that I got, which was a jeep. However, I left my office on a very stormy and snowy day at 8 pm and could do not find a scraper or brush to clean the snow. It was covered in snow and I had no choice but to start driving in unsafe conditions without brushing the snow away.
Worst experience here. Came as a tourist to Whitehorse and rented a car. They talked about everything about contract except mileage. Even in their email, they didn’t mention about mileage limit. I have been renting a car since last 10 years and first thing every car rental company talks about or takes sign on mileage. After dropping a car, they charged me 249 CAD for over limits of mileage. Felt cheated here. Not recommended. I called them but they didn’t resolve my issue and dropped email as well but no response yet.
A bit more then National, but still quite cheap
Awesome vehicle, great service. Forget airport rentals Go here.......
The sales associate was very helpful as we got a great deal with a free upgrade for the same price.
Terrible customer service. I went there twice, and both times walked out without a rental vehicle. There is an extremely limited choice of vehicles, and they don't seem to have anything but "premium vehicles" (since when is Subaru premium) with *limited* km. The man working there was extremely condescending, pushy and patronizing. I left, both times, and went to Enterprise, 800m away, where I received stellar service.
Car was ready on time Can't do returns on Sundays
The staff at this site are always professional and efficient. The vehicle cleanliness has improved significantly since 2019. The car was excellent and clean. There was insufficient washer fluid but that didn't pose a huge problem. The …
Used this company a few times. Great service and clean cars
A pretty positive experience renting a car from here. Staff were good and helpful. The only complaint I would say I had was that I asked for a compact car and got a larger vehicle than I wanted.
Booked a truck on the website, I was sent a confirmation that the truck was available, showed up to pick up the truck, there were no trucks at the Regent location, and the guy working the desk wasn't able to look for availability of a truck at another location due to the way their network is setup. Called UDrive and got better service from them, no truck, but at least they tried to help me out.
We’ve waited in line for over 30 mins and hardly moved. There is still 12 people in front of us. One of the girls at the desk doesn’t know what she’s doing , leaving one girl to handle everything. Then a guy comes and announces if we booked the same day they may not have enough cars for everyone. What a waste of my day. The whole experience has been a nightmare from booking being charged 2 nights and refused to help us when we only wanted one night. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Enterprise is always best, which is why they were booked up.
Quick, friendly service. Easy return.
I've rented from this location several times. Most of the time everything has gone well, but they have been out of the car type I reserved. I always make reservations days in advance, so it shouldn't be an issue to have the car type I need. I rent cars for road trips to keep the mileage off my own vehicle and always rent cars with good fuel economy so I do not want an upgrade to a gas guzzler.
I've never felt like I was taken advantage of so much in my entire life! $300 dollars charge to drive from Moncton to Charlottetown! I will never use this company or my staff ever again and wouldn't have if I had any other option!
I have rented from this location about 5-6 times within the last year. I previously rented from Hertz, however the friendliness of the representatives and attention to detail made me switch. The vehicle rented is always available or I've been given an upgrade. I have also been shuttled to and from this location which is very convenient. I'd like to personally recognize the manager Hamza for his excellent customer service, he even had the car warmed up for me when I arrived which really makes a difference in the Saskatoon winter. My only complaint is that the service location is quite outdated and could use a renovation for when you have to wait for service or a ride. Thanks!
Nothing out of the ordinary, a very standard Budget Rental. The access from the highway has been removed recently, so plan your route accor.

Terrible. No cars available for multiple people who had reservations.
I called at 9:10 to reserve a car for around 12:30. I was looking for economy but they only had mid and full sized sedans remaining (last minute so no big deal) so reserved the mid. When I arrived, one attendant was dealing with another customer and was saying to them "because you reset the mileage, I have to calculate the distance traveled TO UNDO YOUR SCREW UP" (not quite an exact quote but something with the same rude, accusatory tone). Anyway, that attendant couldn't find my reservation so had someone else come over (the only other person working there from what I could tell). I recognized this man's voice from the morning when I called for the reservation. He couldn't find it but recognized my name and admitted to me that he forgot to put in the reservation because got distracted right after I called. Unfortunately, there were no more sedans available anymore so they gave me a minivan (for the price of the mid-sized sedan I had tried to reserve). When I returned to drop off the keys, I saw every other car's windows were down (it was a hot sunny day) so I figured it was intentional so left my car's windows down too. The first attendant from noon (the rude one) was now the only one there. I mentioned the windows, thinking I was doing him a favour, but he asked me to roll them up for her instead. So overall, not a great experience. Their prices are not great either.
quick nice and good car great service at the desk real quick retuirn service next i will only use budget
DO NOT RENT HERE!!!!! IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE THEM 0 STARS. MANAGEMENT STILL HAVE NOT ANSWERED MY CALLS EVEN AFTER I HAVE SPOKE WITH CORPORATE HEAD OFFICE. PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE. LONG STORY SHORT I PAID IN ADVANCE ONLINE FOR 1 WEEK BUT ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS WITH NO REFUND OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. SPOKE TO MANAGEMENT ONCE AND WAS TOLD HE WOULD LOOK INTO THE SITUATION, STILL NO CONTACT. I HAVE BEEN REACHING OUT TO THEM SINCE DECEMBER. DO NOT RENT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF.
No help at all, locally, on the website, calling the "800" number (did not know the province or city I wanted to rent in), or from the location directly that I needed to rent from.
Not sanitized or even cleaned car Rented a SUV. As of a COVID-19 i was thinking it will be sanitized but was not even cleaned. We could easily see fine dust particles all around over the dashboard and interior.
AVOID! Be very careful with this Budget franchise! Upon an unfortunately late arrival early morning (~1:00AM) of Aug. 20/2018 due to Air Canada no one was at the airport rental depot. The Budget confirmation stated "Sun - Sat 9:00 AM - 1:30 AM". Tried calling the provided number several times earlier Sunday evening upon hearing of the delay but never got an answer. Monday morning finally managed to reach the assistant manager after several attempts to reach the manager only to find out that there was no record of my reservation and no cars available until the last week of August. Shameful business really,
Good service good atmosphere. Friendly and professional.
The staff is friendly and considerate. But make sure u call them before picking up ur car.
Best Customer Service. The most splendid Manager a business can have "Hamza". My first choice always.
Courteous, efficient and professional.
When I called to check rates I was quoted a rate without being told what size of car it was for - I hadn't specified. When I questioned a policy that had been formerly in place I was told they would check with the manager and see if anything could be done and then they would get back to me. They took my phone number but never called back. I went in person to double check and was told they didn't check with the manager but just read the policy. They don't seem to care if they rent to you or not. My family and I used to give this organization all of our business. The service used to be excellent. Sadly since the move to the Tudor Glen location the service has been terrible. We will not be renting again from this location.
Fast and easy. Good service with reasonable price
Handy place to rent a vehicle in Vernon
Unexpectedly needed the use of a second car for a few days. Budget had one ready for me very quickly and the rate was reasonable. The staff was courteous and quick. I asked for a small car and was fine with the car they offered, so I'm not sure about the selection.
Booked with my points and got exactly what I was expecting. There was a mix up with the billing and theu rectified it quickly and efficiently. Amazing customer service!
(Translated) excellent service (Original) Excelente atendimento
The processing at the counter was fast without too many questions and drop off was very easy. The car that I requested was the same I booked online. Price-wise very convenient.
Rented from this place before and never had an issue but this time the car was full of cigarette ashes all over and looked like it had not been cleaned.
Helpful and knowledgeable. Discussed what was the best option for what we needed a rental for. Street parking if you need to leave your own vehicle. Key deposit if not open when you drop off the vehicle.
I've had plenty of other issues before with BUDGET / AVIS, however this trip the car was clean, the Fastbreak program actually worked without assistance or needed help from staff, the return was quick, friendly and painless and everything was as good as I would have expected.
My experience renting a car from Budget was horrific. They put me in the wrong car then had me get out and get into a car that had just been returned to the lot. I was charged 3 times for the same reservation and the service was so slow, however, the lead at the front Luis was very very helpful in making things right and I appreciate people like him being there to turn these kinds of experiences around.
Reserving rental with your outside online company priceline is so misleading not only myself but other customers infront of me experienced that same thing of cancellation fees. Not knowing they are a 3rd party it will take who knows how long for reimbursement so far I have been waiting for 5 days. This whole time I thought I was dealing with budget rental cars. Priceline sucks.
I was charged a fee I was not explained I would be charged. When I returned the vehicle they explained they would take the charge off and call me back. Not only did they not take the charge off they never even contacted me again and just charged my credit card.
At this airport they close well before the last flight comes in. I am sure it said it somewhere on the website but it is ridiculous that the place closed an hour plus before the last flight came in. Families were stranded.
The best choice and location for renting a car in Winnipeg. Staff are professional and friendly, they have excellent services. They always with smiling faces. I rented cars very often during summer months two years ago, and had very good experience every time. And recommended to friends. I rented cars around/over 15 times, never had additional charge. The price is good. The staff are honest, be trustful. Highly recommend here.
(Translated) Impeccable service with each visit. The cars are clean and always ready when I arrive at the store. (Original) Service impeccable à chaque visite. Les voitures sont propres et toujours prêtes quand j'arrive au magasin.
Alma is so wonderful to deal with, she made the experience so pleasant. Highly recommend Budget Vernon.
Worst car rental experience ever. Got there literally a few minutes late and was charged for an extra day. They NEVER pick up the phone call. They also scam you if you use the toll road. Was initially told that there was a 6$ fee for using the toll and they ended up charging us 70$ for using ONE toll road. Don't get fooled by the lower prices you'll get charged a ton at the end.
(Translated) Thank you Mr Peter for your dedication in finding me a car at the last minute. Friendly, empathic and helpful. (Original) Merci Mr Peter pour votre dévouement pour m'avoir trouver une voiture à la dernière minute. Sympathique, empatique et serviable.
I've rented many cars and vans and this was the best experience I've had. I dealt with the Yorkdale and Glencairn locations and the staff at both locations were excellent and went above and beyond to help me. I rented an SUV to move a dresser, and the guys at the Yorkdale location were worried I wouldn't have enough space. Sure enough, they were right. I brought the car back and they helped me find a minivan at the Glencairn location and had the guys there put down the seats for me, remembering that I had mentioned I had a small child, so they left 1 seat up in the back for the carseat. Such great attention to detail and customer service. Super impressed - awesome staff at the Yorkdale location and the guys at the Glencairn location set up the minivan perfectly and were super nice.
The Budget Yorkdale location 3320 Dufferin Street is amazing. I have found their staff incredibly helpful and courteous. The manager is very personable and the people working there always are helpful and polite. I would highly recommend this location. I often reserve my car online and am always pleased with the vehicle they provide me. when I come in person to pick it up. I would not hesitate in recommending them to family, friends and business associates. Well Done!
The whole process from reservation to drop off was super easy and straight forward. Price was fair and picking up a car from an airport can result in an outrageous amount held for safety deposit. This is not the case for Budget at a Ontario Airport and that's why I will continue to rent from there.
Cheap and great service. 4 other rental places I called did not have any cars available and they were the big guys too like enterprise and stuff.
(Translated) Very good staff attention and good prices (Original) Muy buena atención del personal y buenos precios
The vehicle I got was good. There was a few minor issues. Like the passenger side back door didn't properly work. And had to be manually locked. And the ac in the back only worked randomly. But other than that was a good car at a great price
(Translated) very bad service, unheard of !! (Original) très mauvais service, du jamais vu!!
(Translated) Always a good service. (Original) Toujours un bon service.
Omar is very helpful. Awesome service nice car I enjoyed it. Way you go ????
Fast service
The only place I rent from now. Best prices and very clean cars. Also they seem to have more full size vehicles to rent then the other places. I just feel better in a full size then a compact car.
Dartmouth Budget is amazing and I've been using then for 3 years and will continue
Very poor customer service. They have made it clear that making a few extra dollars on a rental is more important than keeping there customers happy. I will not be returning to this location, and may well decide to stay away from budget altogether.
(Translated) Very good service, experienced team (Original) Très bon service, comis d'expérience
Booked a car online had everything confirmed called the budget phone number about a certain charge. They fixed it and found out that the reservation was changed to TORONTO Pearson
Kathleen at the Budget kiosk saved my business trip. I had reserved a car with the other rental company in the airport. When I arrived at their kiosk, no one was there. No one answered the phone at their office in Whitehorse and the message box was full. Kathleen was leaving for the day and saw me waiting at the other kiosk. She drove to the other company's office in Whitehorse to tell them someone was waiting at the airport to pick up a car but no one was at the office either. She drove back to the airport and re-opened the Budget Kiosk and rented me car. Above and Beyond service.
(Translated) More expensive than Uhaul but worked well for my move. (Original) Plus cher que Uhaul mais à bien fonctionné pour mon déménagement.
Very happy with the customer service received by Amol. Great value for money.
Awesome service and pricing
I had to replace my car because the brakes had problem and the car was very dirty. The second car they gave me was again dirty and I had to tell them about scratches that they hadn’t mentioned. And I had to fill the tyres because they were not ready for my travel. Service was fast but quality ????June2020
Friendly staff, stinks inside
Terrible attitude and service
Good place to rent a car with somewhat good staff. Willl not drop or pick up on demand.
It was most horrific. Although my documents said no confirmation required our booking was canceled because we were 3 hours late. Budget blamed it on Expedia not giving our email or phone info. They would not credit my insurance fee. We went to another provider and they were excellent. After 20 minuted the Budget clerc came and offered us the same vehicle for $100 more per day. The clerks from two other rentals overheard and they commented that it was the 4th cancelation incident that day from Budget. They also said it was a common happening.
They need to learn customer service ! Very reluctant ! I booked here from Budget for the first time. The guy attending me was talking to the lady beside while helping me out ! A big time no no from customer service perspective. He did not even come outside to show me the car. Just said it's outside. And guess what ! It was not ! It was still in their garage and after wasting my time someone came, took the keys and brought the car from.the garage ! Very disappointed ! Worst customer service ever Then I booked from Avis. It's the same location. Different people this time but same franchisee. OMG! Always check your receipt before leaving. My booking G was from 5 pm Friday to 5 pm Sunday. Just because I reached there at 4:35 they charged me for an extra day and also added the damage waiver for that day ! Good thing I checked the receipt just before I left the place and told them that I would rather wait 20 extra minutes but to pay 55 extra cad. They then changed the receipt and only gave me a new receipt after repeatedly asking for that ! My suggestion would be be prepared for a bad customer service if u go there and always verify ur receipt so that you don't get charged extra. Three stars for their cars ! They are good no doubt ! I just wish they attend the customers carefully next time onwards. I will be happy to give them five stars !
Jas, Amy and the rest of the team are the best. They got me a moving truck with minimal notice at the end of the month! Great service and unbeatable price. Best rental company in the city. Thanks again guys!
They promised us a deal, than said the employee wasn't allowed to do that, so they wanted to charge us double. Terrible customer service.
Quick and easy pickup. great vehicle, low mileage and comfortable for long drives. I forgot something in the car and was able to get it back one week after dropping it off. Their service is friendly and efficient.
Great friendly staff, clean vehicles.
This place has some nice employees, but there are few employees to begin with, so I imagine they're all stressed. The hours are awkward. Closed at 4:30. It's also far away from downtown... though I suppose everyone is far away from downtown these days. Though this company was once great, I try to avoid it these days.
Excellent Customer Service at this location. 10 out of 10!
Excellent service and cars are in the good shape
Want to apologize.for.my.poor review. Hamza and budget didn't actually do anything wrong. It was.a.complete error on my side with billing. But that being said while I was a very unhappy customer for something that in the end was an error on my part. The whole.time they kept.calm and processional. Thanks budget and Hamza you did an excellent job and kept it as.professional as one could with me. 5 STARS . ASK FOR HAMZA !!
(Translated) Friendly service, I rent trucks 3 times to move in the last 5 years no problem or delay I plan to move this year and do business with eu again. (Original) Service sympathique, j'ai louer 3 fois des camions pour déménager dans les 5 dernières années aucun problème ni retard je compte déménager cet année et refaire affaire avec eu.
No care for safety of person.All they care is selling the insurance.I will never rent from them again and suggest no one does .
Awesome ???? service at this location
Great service and personable employees
The speed in which the customer service was delivered, at such a high quality. The ease of renting the car, the price and cleanliness of it.
(Translated) Car booked the day before for the next day everything is ok (only name and surname requested). When we arrive at the reception, our credit card is supposedly not supported by the company (a master card remember that it is international, and that so far we have paid for everything with this card). No possibility of paying in cash either. No solution offered we found ourselves without a car on a Saturday morning. Not professional. I will never set foot there again. (Original) Voiture réservée la veille pour le lendemain tout est ok (seulement nom et prénom demandé). Arrivés à l’acceuil, notre carte bleue n’est soit disant pas prise en charge par la compagnie (une master card rappelons qu’elle est internationale, et que jusqu’a Présent nous payons tout avec cette carte). Pas possibilité de payer en liquide non plus. Aucune solution proposée nous nous sommes retrouvés sans voiture un samedi matin. Pas professionnel. Je ne remettrai jamais un pied là-bas.
When I picked up my vehicle, I was greeted with a smile. My original reservation for a full size vehicle wasn't available the customer service rep upgraded my vehicle to a small SUV at no charge which was nice of her to do. Once I walked over to my vehicle the front license plate was crushed in, and there was the smell of smoke in the car. Unfortunately, my time didn't allow for me to go back in side to discuss another vehicle so I left with the Kia. I traveled to Utah an unexpectant winter storm happened with rain and snow falling. The windshield wipers were no good, I had to really focus to get through the storm. The windshield wipers made the window look as if someone had poured oil on the window because is was blurry the while they were on. Nonetheless, I called the 800 number to inquire about my options to turn in the vehicle three hours late or just to rent the car an extra day. I spoke with Mohammad who informed me that I would have to pay and extra 123.00 for the additional day which is more than my daily rental of 71.99 when I told him it was due to weather and if there is something they could do he said no. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he placed me on hold for 10 to 15 minutes and didn't return to check in on me. I hung up called back spoke to someone else, who got me a supervisor right away. The supervisor informed me that this was just an estimated price and that I should be charged the 71.99 of the original full size vehicle price. When I took the car back and tried to explain what happened, the front desk clerk over talked me and simply didn't want to hear anything I had to say. So I believe you get more bees with honey than salt. The overall customer service was BLAH and Shameful with the exception of the rep who checked me in when I went to pick up the vehicle. Personally, just make sure you speak up immediately when there's something that's not to your liking. I normally deal with Enterprise and Hertz and I will continue to do so moving forward.

We rented a Kia, mid size. It was great on gas. Very nice car. Fast and friendly service when we picked up to when we dropped off at the airport. Very pleased with Budget Rental.
Got a very good deal on dodge van when i booked through costco
Very good car, very accommodating staff. The car was in good condition and the price was reasonable. I would recommend.
Bills are not clear in this rental
These people are horrible. Do not rent there!!! I was there this past weekend and was most definitely discriminated against. My reservation was pre booked several days in advance. When I showed up to their Ontario airport location for avis budget group I was expecting to check out my rental like I have done many times with other companies. When I presented my ID and credit card I was told that I needed another form of picture ID in order to rent from them. This has never been requested of me in my life when renting a car or any other situation. I presented a valid drivers license and a valid credit card. All my information correct. Of course I didn't have another picture ID because normal people don't walk around with 2 picture IDs. When I ask why this was being requested they said that the computer randomly requests 3rd IDs. It made no sense at all. When I asked to speak to a manager it took them 20 min to come. While I was waiting I was also observing all of the other transactions after mine. None of which were asked for a second picture ID. When the manager finally arrived he (Eric Sosa-Ramirez) was very rude and short and refused to answer my simple question of why am I being asked to provide a second picture ID. All he kept doing was repeating the same answer of the computer is requiring it. When asked why no one else is required by the "computer" to provide a second picture ID he just parroted the same response. He refused to give me the phone number of his supervisor but instead gave me a scribbled email address that was not legible. I was not satisfied with his answer and my treatment by this HORRIBLE company. He also threatened to call security when there was no threat at all to him except his own cowardliness. In the midst of me questioning him he stated that he was declining service to me. With all of that, these low down scoundrels charged my card $50 for a non-cancel fee of my reservation! I will definitely be getting that back and than some!
Windsor airport is a good place to rent cars.
Car wasn't the cleanest thing I've rented before, had to confirm toll package after confusion at checkout.
(Translated) Wow !! What a customer service !!!! And when I talk about service I am referring to my friends: MEHDI, KATZ and ANDREW !!!! Keep up the good work! (Original) Wow!! Quel service à la clientèle !!!! Et quand je parle de service je fais référence à mes amis: MEHDI, KATZ et ANDREW !!!! Continuez votre bon travail !
Open Sundays unlike some unnamed green places
Friendly customer service, reasonable prices, but limited car selection.
Horrible! Beware gas tank not full when I received the car. Booked a car 3 weeks in advance was to receive compact car similar to Ford Focus. What i received was a huge beast of a Jeep. Injured my back trying to get into the vehicle. On 3 occasion called to see if they had something smaller. To no avail. Why could they not have a car like they said I would receive? Never again enterprise just down the road is far superior. If I could give a 0 star I would.
Excellent experience, came in request rental with short notice they were able to accommodate,. Clean, & well maintained vehicle. With convenient pick up & drop off locations. Would highly recommend.
A little dispointed. I should have read the comments here. It was ok to pick up the car. After returning the car (early in the morning and I was the only client), the employee told me that he can not drive me home (5min from the store) because it was only him who was working, he has to close the store if he drive me home. It does not metter, I called my wife to pick me up. But I was told that I can not wait in the store because he need to close it. Then I wait outside more than 10mins, luckly the weather was not so bad, only -6 degree. Before arriving of my wife, I saw there were 2 employees working there. What a Poor sense of client service!
Good experience.
One month before my parents arrive from another country, I booked through Budget's website a GMC Terrain 7 seater. One day before the pickup day I received an email confirming my rental and the chosen vehicle. On the arrival day, I went to Budget’s location to get the vehicle and I discovered that they didn’t have a GMC Terrain 7 seater, just a 5 seater. I asked why I was not informed about it one month before and the employee, with no empathy at all, just said that was not his responsibility because it was an issue with Budget’s website. I asked for another 7 seats’ car, but the employee said that there was none. When I asked if there was something that he could do it for me (as they already screwed my rental), he said “what you want me to do? I cannot build a car for you now. Go to another shop!” So… after this wonderful customer service received I took his advice and went to Enterprise car rental, where the employee was super friendly and got me the car I needed. If I could give -10 stars to Budget and their employee I would. Budget never more!!! Be careful with this company.
I absolutely HAD TO write a review here after the experience me and my family just had. It was December 23rd and my brother, while vacationing in Whitehorse, had been in a serious, life-threatening accident. My family all lives in Ontario so my Dad trekked across the country to be by my brothers bedside at the hospital. We were trying to find a car for my Dad to rent but they were all sold out everywhere until after the holidays. I phoned this budget and spoke to Mike, the manager (or he might be the owner? I'm not sure). Anyway, Mike bent over backwards for us and managed to track down a car by the next day, which was of course Christmas Eve. The shop was closing in 20 minutes when he had called me and there was no way my Dad would have made it down there in time by cab from the hospital so once again Mike came to the rescue and sent someone to go pick my Dad up from the hospital. He could have literally charged us anything and we would've had no choice but to pay it, but he gave us a great deal (I thought anyway, in my previous experience renting cars it was a lot cheaper than I would have guessed it would be, especially during the holidays and high demand). Every time we spoke on the phone he would ask how my brother was doing as well (spoiler alert: everyone survived and are recovering well now!) and Mike came through for us again when my brother's hospital stay got extended and we needed the car for a few extra days. I am just in awe of the hospitality that Mike showed us during such a trying time for our family and would 10/10 recommend this location. Thank you for everything Mike!
They were very helpful
Easy in and out. Very nice staff at check in and with Ms. Joy when vehicle was returned.
Great value and quick service
I always have a good experience here, friendly staff and a good selection of cars.
Very good
Had to rent a car since mine was getting fixed. Super nice and very helpful staff! I had no issues. I highly recommend going to them.
Had a car available on a Saturday.
Great experience! I booked online through a 3rd party company, I thought I had landed a pretty good deal. I get to this location and the Budget rep. tells me to cancel my online reservation because he can give me a better price AND he throws in a vehicle upgrade. Love this location, will be coming back when I need a rental. ❤✊????
Nice service . They are is Inside of comox airport .
Good
Easy access... good location
Disappointed by their service. I paid for an all wheel drive compact SUV and they gave me a FWD sedan to drive in the snow!!! On complaining they said they "upgraded me free of cost" which is ridiculous because I paid for a vehicle with 600 km and they gave me 200 km. How is that an upgrade??? I was so mad and they keep saying the same thing over and over like they are deranged. I couldn't do everything I planned because the car won't go to the places with high snow. It was extremely disappointing and not worth paying less if they are not going to stick to their words. They keep saying they can't guarantee the make model but that's not the point!!! At least give me a compact SUV like promised I am not even asking for guarantee of make model. It's so stupid. My booking says compact SUV all wheel drive or SIMILAR. How is FORD FUSION FWD similar to that? AND they upgraded someone in front of me to SUV!! While I was downgraded and I paid for it!!! I highly advise against booking with them.
Not sure why other customers aren’t happy, we had a great experience. We booked online couple days prior a car for one day, came to the office, got the car, had a blast visiting three parks around Quebec City and return the car. No complains at all. Just keep in mind the Budget and Avis are the same company, and their office is located in the lobby of Hilton hotel, little bit hidden but bellhop will explain you how to get there.
I had an average experience with this place, the two times I rented out of there in Dec 2018 and Jan 2019. The guy at the desk was just ok, not flexible in giving me a good solution. It was more like take it of forget it. In Dec 2018 I wanted to go to the US and I booked for a full size car (Impala). He told me that they have no cars and I could take the 10 seater bus, just for my wife and I. The manager was nice enough to interfere and give me a nicer SUV.
(Translated) I was extremely disappointed with the service and the strategies deployed to get more and more money from me. My level of trust in this landlord has dropped to zero. I will never do business with this company again. (Original) J'ai été extrêmement déçu par le service et les stratégies déployées pour me soutirer toujours plus d'argent. Mon niveau de confiance envers ce locateur est tombé à zéro. Plus jamais, je ne ferai affaire avec cette entreprise.
We needed a rental car to go to Ottawa: 8 July 2015: My husband talked to Hira at avis budget group St Catharines, On 436 Saint Paul St. she gave him a price for 3 days rental no credit card or payment was required we only needed to do that on July 24 the day we needed the car. We went to pick the car up and a different person is behind the computer he did not say his name but in a business card I took there is a name (Maj Siddiqi – Agency Operator) the person there asked my husband name an appeared that he was looking at the computer as if my husband name was not there, “sir your name is not here, so we don’t have a vehicle for you” – “what do you mean we have no vehicle I reply, I’m going for a job interview and I cannot miss it” - “I don’t know It is not my fault, I was not here and I do not know anything about it” he replied. We were so disgusted by this situation that finally he call Burlington and ask the guy there (Avis Canada 1400 Plains Rd E) if he had a vehicle for us. He added that this was like a Big favour since I was going for a “job interview” “I felt so lucky for such a big favour,” driving to Burlington and paid a lot more for the last minute rental !great! Personally we think that was a trick they play to new customers that are not use to rent cars, I pretty much could be in his computer and he did not wanted to show us the computer screen, he likely rented the car to person before us or Good knows what they did there.
I had a very good experience with this Budget location. I booked online and paid the same amount as my booking (no added surprise costs later). For my economy car, I was given a brand new VW Golf (only 900kms on it when I borrowed it). The staff brought it to the front door of the office with the heat on and seats warmed (this was during the February cold snap of 2015). The staff was friendly and efficient on both pick-up and drop off. Convenient location near Yorkdale Mall.
When i originally booked the rental it was supposed to a full size car, but when we arrived they gave us a Nissan Pathfinder which actually worked out better since we were there for a family funeral and we able to take extra people in one vehicle. The check in process was great since we became Fastbreak customers and the return was a breeze. We will only use Budget from this point forward.
Good folks
excellent service, helped with all my questions, picked me up and dropped me off from my home, good vehicle and friendly staff
Made a reservation, showed up at the pickup time, they were closed. Claims to be open until 2pm, definitely aren't.
First of all, I am giving 1 start because there is no 0 star This place has the worst customer service ever. I called them to get some clarifications but the lady at the other end was so rude that I just cancelled my reservation and booked from Enterprise. No AWD, no cars with winter tires. Why are they even keeping these stores open? And can't you at least be polite to people who are calling? I usually book through Budget because the cars are clean but never again coming to this place. Why should I spend all this money just to be insulted by these people?
Superb service and best customer service representative. I appreciate the service provided by Budget.
Great service!
Cheapest rent a car in Belleville
Good staff always helpful always excellent service.
Great price, awful customer service. They gave me a Chevy Spark saying it was comparable to a Hyundai Elantra. When I said i wasn’t made aware of this on Budget website, she said sorry but they are a franchise and had nothing to do with the Budget website. I thought a franchise was supposed to be in overseen by its franchisee… never renting anything from Budget again!
Idk this place
I prepaid for a full sized vehicle for a week in Palm Springs. Our flight was delayed. I tried to call from about 7pm PST when we found out about the delay to 10pm PST when we finally departed and no answer. I finally got ahold of someone at the help center at 1230am they told me the Ontario car rental was long closed and we would have to go in the morning but that we had 24 hours to get our car without our reservation being canceled. Because our Air BnB was out in Palm Springs we paid for a hotel near the Ontario airport so we could pick up the car in the morning. Once I arrived at the car rental site I was told that my reservation was canceled and they would have to rebook it and I might have to pay any additional charges. Fortunately the amount was less probably because it was a day less but I couldn't get reimbursed the difference. The agent offered to put it toward coverage since I couldn't put it toward gas like I wanted. I said fine. Then what really irritated me was I was given a Ford Ecosport which has to have been the crappiest car on the lot. It barely fit our luggage and only after I piled items on my kids in the cramped back seat. A very disappointing customer experience that has convinced me not to prepay again.
Great people, went above and beyond when we ran into an issue with our vehicle.
Walked in on Canada Day without a reservation since my reservation down the street at Thrifty got bungled badly. Staff behind the counter was smiling and friendly, able to help. Gave me a free upgrade to a larger car. Didn't charge extra for a second driver. Was the most delightful person ever. Thanks for saving the day!
The staff was excellent
Just wanted to say,*ROB** is my contact for the last4-5yrs,and he does excellent service,except the fellow who did wash vehicle forget to check if windshiel washer is full,i have to fill it this time.Last summer/my tire was showing low as i drove SE most of MB.I think they should do Check up first before handing vehicle to the next Client.Thank everything good otherwise.
We had ZERO drama with budget. They were very courteous a kind. We travel a lot lately and we have had some problems in the past with booking/reservations it's a good feeling to have things to to finally go smoothly. ????????????
The line to check in and get the car was really long and slow, however the lady helping us was very friendly and pleasant. Once we located the car, we were very disappointed with cleanliness of the car both inside and outside. We found someone on the lot who was able to run the car through the wash but the inside was not clean. Based on the cleanliness of the car alone I would have only given it 1 star.
Upon my arrival the car was wet and floor mats were missing Once I got home I had to dried the mirrors, side mirrors and front windows for better visibility, with residue of dry water it's hard for me to see, I was surprised the car was giving to me like that. I honestly believed Budget car rental was more customer satisfaction. The app it's great thou, the staff in the check in desk very patience and friendly.
Very bad service, I called more than 5 times and no one picked up, then a guy named Hamza picked up and said they he will call in five minutes and he never did. I hope to see improvements with their customer service and respect for the customers
Brutal. Don't rent from here! We filled up on Fraser and 25th, drove straight to 8th Ave and they're charging us for gas. These people aren't friendly and they'll do anything to Nickle and dime you. Go ANYWHERE else. Bad service.
Best place to rent a car in st.catharines. Amazing customer service. Rubina is the best, go to her she will make sure everything is taken care of. I am a usual customer there because of Rubina never failed me. Thanks Rubina
Never been treated so bad. Charged for damages before ICBC even sees it and lied to saying vehicle was out of town when I could literally see it. DON'T rent here
Great service...nice cars...very accomodating
We were a little worried after reading the reviews but the whole process went smooth for us. We reserved a small SUV but ended up getting a large one for the same price. It was nice to have the extra space but it was tricky at times driving on some of the narrower roads.
Booked our vehicle for the weekend through Airmiles. Arrived and was helped by Hamza who went above and beyond to get us settled in and excited for our trip. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating to us. And it was the quickest process I’ve had in renting a vehicle! I usually rent from other companies but now we will definitely come back and refer our friends to him and Budget.
Honestly, some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Enterprise just a few minutes away is the best alternative.
Open on Sundays, great location. The agent named Ernst offers the best customer service of any car rental agencies on the South Shore. Keep up the good work !
We always love using this location for our personal and company rentals. Great work, as usual guys!
Good location
Prompt service, fantastic price (especially for a one-way rental). The car was clean, well maintained, and the return was quick.
Easy pickup and drop off place located in Vancouver airport
Excellent service! We took our car in for repairs and booked a replacement vehicle with Budget at 16 Garland Street, Dartmouth, N.S. When we arrived our newly washed upgraded rental car was waiting for us. When my husband returned the car they kind enough to drive him to the VW dealership to pick up our car.
Helpful in all aspects and great deals on the vehicles I was looking for. Even offered alternatives they had that might've better suited my usage.
There to pickup a car at eight, office is to open at seven thirty but no one there.This has happened before.They show up after eight, and after booking in give the keys to the car, no explanation etc. It's nineteen below, car is frozen, I guess the customer can thaw it out and scrape windows, all this and we get to pay for rental!! Never again, sorry. If I ran my business like this, well we simply wouldn't have one.......
Quick service.great rates!!!
I have always used this company when flying back home, that was until this weekend. After arriving from a late flight the rep at the desk was extremely unprofessional on so many levels. She was under the avis sign, we asked if budget was there and her response raising her voice was "I am budget" and she asked why it took us so long to get up to the desk. (we had waited in the wrong line for 40 minutes) She then said our car wasn't booked until the following morning, extra money to have another driver on the rental, spoke to us in such a degrading way as if we were stupid to her. My mother asked if we were still getting our original car and the lady looked at her and basically yelled "what, no you messed up your rental" After being told we were getting a different vehicle my mother asked what it was like "well i'm sure you wouldn't want an SUV so you're getting a luxury car you know because you screwed this up" I'd probably need six pages of paper to write about how disrespectful this woman was to us but i'll save you the time. Lastly, getting out to our car that had A FOOT PRINT on the front windshield... yes a bare footprint. The vehicle looked as if it was a personal vehicle that hadn't been cleaned in a year, I was disgusted enough that I had to go buy wipes to CLEAN the areas in which our bodies would come in contact with. I will NEVER go back to this place, being as it was always my number one place to rent a vehicle 5 times a year out there I am saddened by this as I've never had a problem but thanks to this employee that has changed.
Scheduled a pick-up and no-one showed up. I had to call in 3 times and they finally came to pick me up 35 minutes later than originally scheduled. Guy was talking on the phone while driving. Also got a car bigger and hence high a higher fuel consumption than what I wanted. Expired registration on the vehicle for which I was forced to contact Budget to get a different car.
(Translated) Ppir an easy and hassle free rental (Original) Ppir une location facile et sans tracas
Used them a few times and never had a problem.
Quick and easy. Car ran well!
Run of the mill car rental.
The car was great! But even though I returned the car at the agreed upon time I was charged for another day! The location seemed under staffed and apparently didn't follow check in procedures correctly and I am being penalized for their mistakes.
Convenience is there game !
Great service and a good price
(Translated) It took 30 minutes to get service (Original) Il a fallut attendre 30 minutes pour avoir du service
Saw a board on the budget desk to approach Avis desk. So we went to AVIS. A complete nutjob was present at the Avis desk. Doesn't understand what we're speaking, speaks barely understandable English. He was very arrogant, rude and seemed like he was swearing at us in his regional language. When we asked him to give us 5 minutes to decide which car to choose, he was like... "Ahh!! You take as much time you wanna take. I give you 1 hour. I'm gonna go wash car outside.. you guys wait till I come back after 1 hour." What the bloody heck!? It's not like you're saving the mankind. You're just working to feed yourself. No one's forcing you to work there. Never ever going to this brand.
A long wait, but customer service was excellent. First class. Everyone was friendly. The car I wanted was not available, they gave me an upgrade at no extra cost. Excellent vehicle, low on fuel, which I did not expect since I did a lot of driving and it was a jeep. Thank you Budget for making my stressful trip enjoyable.
Pretty smooth services. But I got over charged for one-way rental, and called 1-800 for refund.
very worst car rental experience. knowledge-less stuffs and rude manager. avoid!
Great service every time!!
Awesome customer service
Customer service above and beyond! We received an upgrade with an already cracked windshield so we got a discount and didn't have to worry about it happening to us. We picked the car up at the airport but returned it to the airport and they were very relaxed about the time of the return. And they tracked me down when I left a small purse behind in the car. Thanks, Mike, you're a champ! The vehicle was fine!!
These guys are great and takes the time to remember who you are when you return, this is a rare concept. Totally satisfied.
Atrocious. Booked my rental months out, when I arrived for my 7 day rental, was denied because I have a N license. I have rented at nearly every rental company in Vancouver & I book rentals daily for my guests. NEVER, have been denied or been told that because of a N license that a person can't rent. Not once was it ever said or printed on my confirmation that this is a policy. The man showed no empathy, accused me of arriving late for my pickup. I arrived at 4:15pm, which I called days before to confirm with a woman at the location. I changed my reservation time so I could pick my car up after work & make my ferry tomorrow a.m. to Vancouver Island. I am now stranded. I have planned an extensive vacation and need this car. The rental office closed at 4:30, I asked if there was any way my partner who has a class 5 license could come and put the rental in his name, that he could get there about 10 minutes after close. I was in tears with nowhere to go with a prepaid rental and the man just said "no" and kicked me out the second the clock hit 4:30. ...which is ironic because when I arrived at the location there was a "back in 20" minutes sign on the door & "thanks for your understanding" note. ...I waited patiently, but he couldn't do the same?? Now I have no rental and a prepaid reservation. Absolutely atrocious customer service. I called Budget and they said their policy allows N license holders to rent cars and that this was a personal choice of this location. I will never recommend this business.
Very unprofessional and lair. The owner promised me to pick up my car from the storage and he made me to wait a week and still not able to pick up my car from the yard. As as result, I was charged an extra $105. I believe he wanted me to wait so the storage fee would accumulate and then I abandon the car, so he could pick it up for free for himself. I would recommend to stay away from this scammer...
It was very busy and we didn't get the vehicle that we reserved. We ended up getting a smaller vehicle than what we needed and didn't get a discount, just got charged for an SUV when we got a car instead. We just didn't have the time to take it back and complain but they're were others who were complaining about their rental being dirty, the company ran out of vehicles but yet were still giving out what they could even though the wait was over an hour.
Car wasnt really what i was after...upgraded to a full size Charger, which was nice but had booked a smaller one. All in all ok
Had a good experience
I had a reservation my husband made me. We've used Budget and others for the last 25 years using his employer discount code. Your agent wanted my husband to be with me to show his ID. He wasn't with me on this trip so how could he? He said I couldn't have the car unless he saw ID. My husband is a pilot so if he was on a trip what would I have done? Luckily he was able to send me a picture of his ID but the agent made it clear it was just an acception. The agent said it because there are so many issues with car rentals, you can't trust people and using the discount codes for just anyone! We have the same last name!! So you would have left me stranded without a car if he was working?? I rented it for a week!! I'm not happy at all!
Very helpful
Good service
Easy process. Car was clean in good condition
(Translated) Confirmed and prepaid reservation, when I get there, no cars available, the man at the counter tells me that he doesn't know. What must be done, that he is just a franchisee ... I call budget, they only reimbursed me half the amount 1 week later ... very ordinary service ... (Original) Réservation confirmée et prépayée, quand j'arrive là, pas d'autos de disponibles, le monsieur au comptoir me dit qu'il ne sait pas. E qu'il faut faire, qu'il est juste un franchisé... j'appelle budget, ils ne m'ont remboursé que la moitié du montant 1 semaine plus tard... service très ordinaire...
I had a great experience with Budget. The vehicle I booked was there and ready to go. Easy pickup and drop off. I was extremely happy with the Jeep Cherokee I rented which had a large tank for great driving range, especially up north. Nav system was awesome. Easy to drive. Overall worked beautifully!
Helpful people
Always a pleasure going deal with the staff.
The process was easy and simple. The staff was wonderful. The price was PERFECT! I needed the vehicle for a quick turnaround trip to Las Vegas. I left something there and needed to retrieve it. The vehicle with all airport fees was only $23. It was a fuel efficient vehicle so the total cost including gas was only $65. That saved a lot of wear and tear on my truck which would have required more than $65 to fill my gas tank. I will continue to rent vehicles from this location. I am ALWAYS happy with my rentals.
After years of renting cars with the exact same card, the person in charge just refused using it, forcing me to go to their competitors. There was absolutely no issue with the card at Enterprise, so avoid Budget.
it took almost 40 minutes for someone to bring up the rental. when they brought it the van reeked of cigarette. i made a reservation for 12 noon pick up left 1.5 hours later. Some of the employees were running around while one of the workers sat in a van looking at her cell phone until she saw a supervisor, then she quickly started checking in the car.
The service here is just ok. Most often the staff will not come out and inspect the vehicles with you. Several times my vehicle would not be ready when I arrived.
Excellent customer service by the whole team especially Hamza. Highly recommended
(Translated) My wife and I had a black Ford Edge instead of a white Sedan Crysler for a total cost of $ 176 instead of $ 90. Never paid back in full. Charges made on the credit card without prior agreement. No bill to justify the whole thing. (Original) Ma conjointe et moi avons eu un Ford Edge noir au lieu d'un Crysler Sedan blanc pour un coût total de 176 $ au lieu de 90 $. Jamais remboursé en totalité. Prélèvements fait sur la carte de crédit sans accord au préalable. Pas de facture pour justifier le tout.
Excellent service and customer care. We rented a bigger car for weekend away and very convenient to park our car at their location, they also upgraded our booking to better vehicle at no charge.
Flew down from Vancouver, to spend a week in Vernon and decided to get a rental car for the week. We booked online, and picked up the car in the morning in an efficient and seamless manner. The car was clean, tank full and smelt fresh. The service was also great, friendly and clear. My only complaint, is when asked for assistance on how we will drop the car off at their airport location, as our flight is at 7am and the location is closed and we of course do not want to risk missing our flight. The response was quite the joke, as because they’ve never dropped it off, they couldn’t help us. Although, we were assured there SHOULD be a key drop off.

Best service EVER!!! I can’t remember the last time I had customer service like this before. ????????Super helpful people that give you the right advise for your trip. Moving forward, I will always chose Budget for my rental needs! Thank you Budget.
Just rented a new caddy love it
My car was black exterior and interior. The AC was not working and the passenger seat was broken. It made a very uncomfortable ride for myself and my daughter. When I called the local number for the rental counter it rang for several minutes and then disconnected. No one ever answered the phone over 4 days. The 800 number was equally unhelpful. I was offered to have the car exchanged at a fee of $280 and a 6 hour wait, if they could locate a vehicle. I should also mention that I waited over an hour and a half to pick up the car in the first place. Worst customer service I have ever experienced.
I have to say this has been the best car rental experience! I use the Orbitz portal for all my rentals needs and by far Budget customer service has been the absolute best! The counter service rep Lorraine at the Ontario Airport Budget was super friendly, helpful and took her time to explain other options for the rental Thank you !
The car was dirty inside and out. Also the passenger seat belt was broken ..we are in the middle of a pandemic and the car had a sticker saying it was clean for covid . what a joke ..
My preferred rental company but this time at Ontario I had to wait 1.5 hrs to get to counter but employees had no problem taking breaks even when they see line was extra long. Once I completed paperwork at counter I had to wait another 20+ minutes to get car from being cleaned. During return of car employees where sitting in another car and I had to wait several minutes for 1 of them to come over and return car. Employees where nice and friendly but didn't care about timeliness of service. Not what I have come to expect from Budget service wise.
Hamza was very helpful to choose the right vehicle with great price. Appreciate his professionalism and excellent customer service.
After having problems with Budget at the Toronto Airport, we brought our rental vehicle to Budget in Belleville. The gentleman behind the counter, upon learning of the situation, was quick to act and determined to make it right. Not only did he offer to get us a new vehicle that better suited our needs, he offered an upgraded vehicle to help smooth things over. The gentleman we spoke with was efficient, courteous and certainly customer-centric. Will be renting from this location for all future visits.
Cant believe they have a liscense to operate. Dont even bother with these guys, take your business eslewhere.
Drew do not rent both cars there's no cumunication with in budget
We rented a ford ecosport. It was a great little car. Clean affordable and great on gas.
Best service and experience I've had with a car rental. Will make a point of using budget in the future because of the friendly and helpful staff who helped us.
Excellent service. Really helped my girlfriend and I when we were in a jam. Classic Whitehorse friendliness and hospitality.
The best customer service I have experienced in a long time! Really went the extra mile. The staff are really helpful and they have a good selection of cars! Will definitely be back!
Got side swiped by an idiot driver. Took the insurance and walked away with zero responsibility ????????
Thanks so much to Amy and Curtis today! Thoughtful, relaxing and quick! See you in a week for dropoff!
I am here for twenty minutes already, and no car yet. It took ten minutes for someone to even talk to me, and now they can't get the safe open. I am in a rush, and this is unacceptable
Fast and efficient service
Was charged extra for gas even When left receipt that was filled Up. No proof that they filled up another car and charged me. Not all charges fully explained At time of questioning cost. Poor response when I called.
The manager Ashok Pillay is a complete gentleman and a professional. I recommend him for promotion. He deserves to be recognized.
If I could rate this place lower, I would. Place is supposed to close at 4pm and I had a reservation at 230pm. The place was already closed when we arrived!!! Completely unacceptable!!!! I went with budget because of it's great reviews in the past. No one is answering the phone and the hotline is not helpful. What an awful experience. I will never rent from Budget again nor recommend this place to anyone.
Friendly staff. Clean vehicle.
Double price of booking with a different car. They hold the amount from credit card without asking that I will take the deal ... I obviously cancelled with hope of having the money back within 5 days ...
Excellent customer service! 10/10 for this location. Ran into some difficulties on a 1 way rental Florida to Toronto. After 45 min on the phone with budget rental company 1-800 numbers I still had no answer. Called this location in Belleville and they had me fixed up in less than 2 minutes.
Ridiculous, terrible long line. Charging double the normal rates for cars, yet they can't have a few more staff on duty? This is customer service at its worst. People are paying twice. For the car, and with their time. Many of these people have important places to go and deadlines for connections.
The guy that work here I don't have a clue what his name is (could care less) has an attitude problem . I went to herts instead they are cheaper .
Car was clean , but windows were covered with water spots. I didn`t have anything to clean them with. Side mirrors had water spots too, I am old I can't handle any vision distortions. I keep my windows and mirrors on my personal vehicle clean and spotless.
Easy reserve and pay online, Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable staff. Exactly what I reserved, on time, ready to go! Bonus- Open Sunday until 5 . Highly recommend this location. Thanks
(Translated) Excellent service even on Sundays. Many thanks to Peter. (Original) Excellent service et ce même le dimanche. Un gros merci à Peter.
Great customer service
They stole my money from the card
I use this location for rentals multiple times a year, Friendly and fast service every time!
(Translated) Very good service (Original) Un très bon service
Great rental vehicles and great service!
Clean vehicles, and competitive rates and easy to deal with staff
Good to deal with, usually upgrades without too much extra costs
Reserved online and Ken (very personable staffer) was at the airport counter to greet us. We had Roadstar insurance so he did not pressure us to get the extra budget insurance. The car was bigger than expected, but was comfortable to drive. No surprises on checking the vehicle out or back in. A very pleasant rental experience.
Ontario Airport Budget , first you have to take a bus from the Terminal , dont be surprised, it goes through the parking lot before, before it goes to the actual rental car location. Total waste of time and confusing for a first timer to the airport. Car was dirty inside (seats Stained) not sure if there all like that , but you know if there is one there is more. I rent a lot of cars. Come on Budget you can do better.
Those guys told me for 10 days rent 408 dollars I rent from may 19 to may 29 And they told me to dive 2000 km But I drive 300 km only Then I give them back the car on the time But after they take 655 dollars ???? They charge me extra 250 dollars The are very very robbers Please be car full guys when you rent a car from Those places If I can allowed me I can give him 0 review in the Google
The staff are awesome! Super helpful, super friendly and 100% highly recommend to anyone needing a short term vehicle rental.
Great customer service. Especially when returning vehicle. Representative very helpful.
The worst auto-rental experience I've ever had. Schedule two vans months in advance and get informed the day-of that one is 'damaged'. No alternative was offered, and phone calls were ignored for several business days. The call-center for Budget RAC Canada is a nightmare in itself, and the 'customer service' representatives have absolutely no idea how to treat a client. I will NEVER deal with these folks' again.
Gee is always a great help. Please to work with on any occasion
Amazing service. Loved it
Refused to offer ride back to work after returning vehicle. ????

(Translated) Excellent service. I was initially assigned a vehicle. When I saw another model that interested me more, the counselor was happy to change it even if the contract was already drafted. In addition, I liked the vehicle so much that I bought it. (Original) Excellent service. On m'avait au départ attitré un véhicule. Quand j'ai vu un autre modèle qui m'intéressait d'avantage, le conseiller s'est faire plaisir de me le changer même si le contrat était déjà rédigé.

(Translated) impeccable service, clean car thank you peter and denis !! (Original) service impécable, voiture propre merci peter et denis!!
I rented the car for two days and I did return it late, expecting to pay for another day. But to my surprise Budget charged me for another day as well as a $20 late fee. I think this is double dipping and will never rent another vehicle from Budget again. The vehicle was nice and the entire experience was great up until return. Thank you Budget and good bye.
Small, but convenient location. They didn't even think twice to offer me a free upgrade because they didn't have the car I had reserved - much appreciated! Thank you! There is a gas station right across and another one a couple of blocks away in case you forget to refuel. Traffic around (especially during rush hour!) is probably the worst thing about this location.
(Translated) He deserves no bad service no personal who speaks good French I ask questions very simple to the girl on the phone she hangs up on the nose really frustrating it is poorly organized. My recommendation is to avoid renting center. (Original) Il merite pas d etoile mauvais service aucun personnelle qui parle bien francais je demande des questions tres simple a la fille au téléphone elle me raccroche au nez vraiment frustrant il sont mal organiser .

First Day the Computers went down and I came from NY to Ontario California in which i never been. I was unable to make it to my room until 5:30am and I Was Stuck waiting to see who will be willing to take me because apparently where i stayed out was too far from airport and all cab service refused me for hours and i was so fustrated. I payed someone 150$ just to acrually take us and not refuse us. Same i had to do to come back next day to finally get my rental. My trip was ruined all because i couldnt get my car and we missed out on the concert i even paid to go there for. I wouldnt be doing budget ever again. Especially on vacation.
Staff very friendly and accommodating to my last minute request. This is the ONLY place in courtenay that I will recommend.
Do not rent here. They do not answer the phone and add false charges. They take advantage of their location at the airport so they know almost all customers will be people needing to catch a flight and on a time crunch...they abuse this by not being available to help. Don't use them!
If I could give this location more then 5 stars I would. The young girl working the counter was the sweetest, young lady ever!! Left enterprise angry and full of rage right before I walked into budget and my mood changed 100% with my experience with them. Got an amazing car and for a great rate, with no BS run around like enterprise was giving me. Will definitely use budget again in the future and definitely this location.
Had a fantastic experience at this location. I hope every customer gets to work with Ashok, one of the best Budget sales representative! The car was very clean and Ashok was extremely accommodating with our requests for drop off at another location. This generosity is all that you need in difficult times like this!!
Great rental place
(Translated) 2 hours of waiting, we are told that it is possible to bring the car back at any time because a valet is present in the evening, but this was not the case. We were also told over the phone that it was possible to divide the payment over several credit cards, but this was not the case once we got there. Service more than mediocre. (Original) 2h d'attente, on nous dit qu'il est possible de ramener la voiture à n'importe quelle heure car un valet est présent le soir, or ce n'était pas le cas. On nous avait également dit au téléphone qu'il était possible de diviser le paiement sur plusieurs CB, or ce n'était pas le cas non plus une fois arrivés sur place. Service plus que médiocre.
I don't think they put much effort into cleaning their cars. The inner door handle and steering wheel were sticky, there were receipts on the floor from a previous renter and wrappers in the rear hatch area. It was kind of gross. If you have to rent from them, bring some wipes.
Great service. I met a man there his name is Pill and he was amazing and very helpful and cooperative.Thanks Pill.
Great fast service. Present staff
Usually love renting from here, but our last time (during COVID) found a used mask, water bottle & food from the previous renter. This definitely left me second guessing future rentals.
Clean car. Polite salesmen.
This is a story of two halves. Thank you to TJ manager of budget car rental in Belleville for helping resolve the problem created by Budget at Toronto Pearson Airport who allocated me a car of the wrong category without explanation. In fact they were extremely rude and had zero customer service. They then didn’t answer their phone which meant I had to spend precious days of my holiday trying to find a suitable car that was big enough to get us back to the airport. TJ at Belleville managed to source me s suitable car and was extremely helpful when we arrived to do a swap. Thank you. I will be contacting Budget Toronto Pearson direct to complain about the service I originally received and would never recommend you use the branch at the airport Lucy Partridge .
Needs to change the receptionist, the guy was definitely drunk/high.. was talking like a junky. I have dealt with this company before with no problems.. but this location is run by rude messed up staff. The corporation should look into it
The most rude person i have ever dealt with, and the price was insane compared to Hertz and Enterprise when I've rented with them, it was 700 for 5 days for a bloody corolla would have been cheaper to get a cab all over for 5 days.
Absolutely amazing service. My car is being repaired so I needed a rental. They went above, and beyond in helping me. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Booked car a week in advance. Was told I could call for pick up the day of. That day they had no driver available. I took a cab there at my cost. They took my paper work then said they only had one monster jeep which I couldn't physically get into. They said no option was avaible. I left walking. Worst customer service ever!
Une arnaque téléphonique! SI vous appelez pour des renseignements, attendez vous a ce que la personne au bout du fil récite son texte par cœur, et si vous lui posé des questions il recommencera sa charade du début. Le but de cette manœuvre? Vous gardez au téléphone le plus longtemps possible afin de vous soutirer un maximum d'argent. Mon expérience personnelle: 14 CAD les 4min d'appel pour n'obtenir aucune informations....
It was OK.
Staff are very friendly.
This guy here is extremely unprofessional and rude. He just doesn’t care. All he was boasting was not his fault and he didn’t care. This is a very unprofessional and rude approach to change the location without noticing the customer.
This car is not at all good. When we hit break car is shaking and making lot of noise. Also rear camera is not working. I have complained to store associate and he said he is unable to help.
I received the best customer service while Hurricane Dorian was hitting the area. An employee of the car rental agency waited for me to drop off my vehicle and called me a cab while the winds and rain started to increase. I am extremely grateful to Kelly for her assistance and the company and operator of this location for her assistance in my moment of stress. I was humbled and will always remember her act of kindness. Wishing her all the best.
Excellent check out staff
Car has big mark on the door when I rented at the airport and there was no check sheet to hand in. Used the car and returned to different location at downtown hotel. Worried about the existing damage but no one I could talk to during the rent out and retune period although return period fell into weekend. Hotel has budget office but closed. Great rental company not doubt about it but no clear system or procedure checking the state of the vehicle.
Corporate car rental was a breeze. Fantastic service. Will definitely be renting from Budget Taschereau again, for both corporate and personal. Highly recommend!
It was quick and easy from start to finish from the Ontario Airport location. This is my 2nd time going through Budget at Ontario Airport, and both times were great! Will only go through them in the future when in SoCal.
Car was ready when we arrive. Clean and almost brand new 13300km. Return went also very fast and easy. We make good choice by renting in Budget Thanks
Great customer service , super clean cars , waiting time 0.0
The female manager is super nice, I am very beginner in car rental, she is very patient and helpful, I have never met such as a good people. Thanks for her all assistance all the time. The male employee is very friendly and patient as well. Nice team and incredible service.
Not very good . Blame you for breaking window . That you didnot do cost over 500 for rock chip . And charges my credit card . When I could have paid cash . Not impressed at all. The first time was accused of fill with gas up in the summer . When showed recite for it was still charge .
Good service.decent trucks. Good price
The customer service here is absolutely amazing along with the cars. Rubina does a great job. I'm very pleased.
Service can be better.

Never use them again.

Absolutely ATROCIOUS customer service. The Manager Hamsa will not return phone calls. Half of the time they don't even pick up the phone in this location. Budget of Canada you should be appalled to have a location run like this, it's bad for the brand
Was good..
Convenient location and friendly staff. The car selection wasn't as advertised thus only four stars but the service was efficient and friendly. Good covid-19 safety guidelines in place and when we returned car looked as if they had stuff set up to deep clean cars, like to see that - awesome
They were the only place that were able to guarantee a vehicle with winter tires. It costs slightly more but the guarantee for safety was worth it.
After receiving a confirmation email that a minivan was reserved, I drove half an hour to this location only to have them casually say "Oh we were unable to secure a minivan for you" There were three male employees that sat at the desk and not one of them offered an apology, another vehicle nor solution. They said they tried to call but the number on file was the wrong number yet they did not try to email me. I handle a lot of major contracts and I will never book this place again or recommend it to any of my contracts. Totally unimpressed and left scrambling at the last minute.
Great counter service and customer service.
Each and Every time i had the best experience. Amazing customer service.Glen is the man!!! None of the other rental places had a jeep wrangler available that day except them. They are so happy to help you.
I travel once a month a least to California for my Medical treatments, and this reservation gave me Budget Car Rentals for the first time. I have had a couple issues with the other car rental place that I always get, so coming to Budget I was a little nervous, so got to the counter the teller was very polite to start off with and I could not believe it it honestly maybe took 5minutes no longer then 10 to complete everything. Thank you all so much you have no idea how I felt walking out to get my car. I will be using you on all the rest of my trips!
I was given a high mileage silver Toyota Camry which looked really bad inside and outside. The car needs to be sent away or thoroughly cleaned. The outside was dented and scratched up. I took plenty of photos so I wouldn't be charged. The interior had burn holes in the seat fabric from what I assume was cigarettes. The seats and headline had stains. It was not what I was expecting. I've had better experiences from Budget.
I will rent here again. Loved the new roomy truck.
G has exceptional customer service and always accommodating !
un helpfull
Terrible! We reserved a car to go on a short vacation, showed up at the rental in Vernon and they said they didn't have the compact vehicle that we had reserved for us. They offered us a huge SUV that would have been out of the question for our fuel budget. Now we have to drive all the way home and get our own, un-roadworthy, cramped vehicle. I have been a faithful Budget customer for years, but never, never again!
Hi. My husband and I just had the BEST experience ever with Budget. Our rental wouldn’t start, and Kathleen - the clerk at the downtown Whitehorse branch- went above and beyond to help us. She was amazing and helped my husband get the car going by getting her own husband to come to help him. While They were busy, she kept me company at the store and filled me in on all things Whitehorse. I have never felt so cared for by a company. EVER. a huge warm thank you to Kathleen and her knight in shining armour (her husband Beau) for treating us like family and getting us moving with our car rental. I will never forget your generosity, kindness and professional courtesies. Kathleen is a wonderful ambassador for Budget. Thanks a million.
I have to use Budget for work and have found the customer service extremely disappointing every time I have dealt with this location. They rarely answer the phone and don't inspect their vehicles for cleanliness (I have to go out on my own and report issues with the car if I want them to keep them on file). They also do not ever send me a receipt if I drop the car off after hours - I always have to call and request one. All that said, I have to use them for work but would never consider them for my own personal use.
(Translated) 7-seater vehicle reserved for one day and confirmed via Rentalcar. Arrived on site, they tell me that no 7-seater vehicle is available. After calling the manager, the only solution would be to bring a car from Montreal, it will take 4 hours, canceling our day trip. Impossibility to make a gesture and to rent us two vehicles 5 places for the same price. We went to the competitor 800m further. (Original) Véhicule 7 places réservé pour une journée et confirmé via Rentalcar. Arrivé sur place, ils m'annoncent que aucun véhicule 7 place n'est disponible. Après appel au manager, la seule solution serait de faire venir une voiture de Montréal, cela prendra 4h, annulant notre sortie a la journée. Impossibilité de faire un geste et de nous louer deux véhicules 5 places pour le même prix. Nous sommes allé chez le concurrent 800m plus loin.
(Translated) To avoid absolutely, do not trust this trader! He gave us a damaged vehicle from the previous client and did not take any pictures before we left with him. On return the merchant tries to pass us a part of the invoice and refuses to refund the deposit !!! (Original) À éviter absolument, ne pas faire confiance à ce commerçant! Il nous a remis un véhicule endommagé par le précédent client et n'a pas pris de photos avant qu'on parte avec. Au retour le commerçant tente de nous refiler une partie de la facture et refuse de rembourser le dépôt de garantie !!!
I had to change my form of payment and staff was very attentive and explained everything. Great transaction as opposed to a terrible experience with another car rental agency the same day.
I can't believe this place is still in business. We rent vehicles every week and usually call here first as they're a bit cheeper but more times than not we can't even get them to pick up the phone. As a test I called and let it ring for an hour and no one could be bothered to answer. No answering machine, no, please hold, nothing. This guy should do himself a favor and just retire because he sure as hell shouldn't own a business. Even when we have interacted with the guy he's rude or angry at life.
The guy at the customer service was great! got us really good deals and was very helpful!
Very bad experience. The staff are very rude and they just look for ways to charge more. They even threatened us by saying that all customers return the cars damaged anyway and must pay for it. After that we were charged 100 dollars more than than the receipt we got. I am very disappointed and I can't believe this actually happened!
Horrible. We rented a jeep as soon as we got to freeway it started over heating. Had us drive all the way back to exchange it. They offered another jeep wrangler but as soon we entered you can smell the cigarette smell. Don't even bother trying to call them tried calling for two hours they never answer their phone! Never renting from this place again. We are now stranded waiting for a ride back home.
Efficient service clean car good price
Good service. Good condition cars. Accessible locations.
It’s no Granite Curling Club.
Customer service is an area where people complain more than they compliment. I believe in acknowledging good customer service. The location manager...Hassam...is a pleasant/accommodating manager who wants the best for his customers. I …
Expensive for just two days I paid 400 dollars. Wow. And it's even called budget car rental... How? It was not even a budget saving car rental. Don't go. Go with Carla instead or something.
So tomorrow I have to return my rental. There was a little mix up picking up a car on Friday but the problem was resolved immediately! I want to thank the person that looked after me..Because of my situation I was treated with great respect and my car was upgraded as mine was not in at the time. It was a bonus for me! I got to take a brand new BMW to London to visit my daughter! I don't want to return it tomorrow! Thanks again for everything! My trip was amazing and I got to drive in style! Definitely would recommend this company! Also the rates were cheaper than other places!
Small location with a limited supply of vehicles. Vehicles are clean and ready as requested on a regular basis.
G runs an exceptional rental location.
I dealt with this company back in February of 2020 and rented a car for the week for about $500. The car had some slight problems that I told them about, and all they could offer was a car exchange which wouldn't have worked as I needed the current car for BC as it had winter tires and the replacements did not. So working at a parts store, I fixed the problems myself and carried on. A week after I returned the car they tried charging me an additional $300 for alleged oversights which I quickly refuted as I went over the agreement before renting and the price I was quoted was what I was sticking with. Now, in the end of May 2020, 3 months later, I have a surprise charge of $250 on my card and I can't get ahold of them to figure out what exactly they think they are doing now. Very displeased. Never again will I ever deal with such a poorly run scam of a company
Rented from this outlet. Staff Chris and TJ were excellent. Will rent from them again. Thanks!
Utterly impressed with the level of service. The manager was in on his scheduled "day-off" and was working even though his family was in town for a visit. When I got there five minutes before closing he had a line-up of five people trying to get on their way. He was patient, soft-spoken, kind, and courteous to all the customers despite what was clearly a stressful situation. I would rent here again without hesitation.
No proper response from the representatives
Sarah was very nice and efficient and the process was quick. Met the manager Erick outside and he made an upgrade for us so quickly and easily I can't imagine ever dealing with any other company! Top notch !!
This location is extremely bad at everything. They charged $90 for full tank gas as if I dropped empty tank car. Also this location did not enter my drop off on the system so I received "car not delivered" letter from Budget. I am not done yet! They charged me extra because of late delivery although I dropped the car 2 hours before. So do yourself a favor stay out of Budget, this location amateurs.
Great service
STAY AWAY from these guys. Here is my story: A week before I was moving, I called them up to book a 16' cube moving truck. They told me that they have a truck ready for me, and that it was guaranteed. The day of my move, I called them early in the morning to make sure that they had my truck that I was going to pick up at 3pm, and the guy told me there is one truck parked right in front that he is looking at with my name on it, so it will be there. Everything is great and calm so far. However, when I show up at 3pm to pick up my truck, there is NO truck available..... They have apparently RENTED OUT MY BOOKED TRUCK to someone else. The guy then guaranteed me that he will call me later on the same day to let me know that a truck is ready when one comes in. I did not get a call back from them. 7:30pm rolls around (they close at 8pm), I ended up going to Uhaul and getting a truck immediately so that I could still move. I had to pack the truck through the night because of these people who cannot run company properly, and whom have redefined the word GUARANTEE for me. Stay away from them and go with a different company, or at least a different location!
Friendly staff, fair rates, great cars.
Terrible, Manager is rude and they don't follow the policy's on their website or rental confirmations.
Sad to hear they will no longer be open on Saturdays
11 pm and waiting line more than 40 people! Only one tailor!!! We already waiting for 1 hour and still half to go. Worst experience ever. Do not make reservations with budget. There are a lot of other operators, but I can’t cancel reservation...
(Translated) Very good service and great discounts for repeat customers. (Original) Très bon service et rabais intéressants pour clients réguliers.
Watch these guys. I reserved a compact car, not the bottom line, and when I got there they said I had reserved a Smart car and insisted on me paying and extra 7 dollars a day for a Cruze, which is a compact car in my opinion. When I looked online later found out that 7 dollars a day is for the full size car. The corporate office was unhelpful and the people at the counter were surly when we arrived, and totally unhelpful. I would not rent from Budget again. They gave me bullshit excuses that don't fly. I believe it is false advertising and will be contacting the Better Business Bureau.
They are not truthful , had a reservation on line through a 3rd party and they declined to provide a car so I asked for one but they said they are all booked through August , then I went on their website and they show that they do several options , I would rather walk than rent from them .
Very happy with the help I received. I was upgraded to a Ford Edge. Nice vehicle. I'll be back when I'm in town again.
No specific directions for Budget car return after or before hours. Called customer service and was told no difference in charges to leave keys in drop box. Could not locate drop box almost missed flight. Had to walk fast-paced over 1/4 of a mile!
Declined fuel option and brought back full with gas receipt. You charged me fee option. On phone for over 20 minutes to discuss with no expectation of talking with anyone soon.
We rented a car !! Spent $1000.00 for 12 days , drove from Calif to Missouri WITH EXPIRED TAGS!!! We was very very disappointed we was driving across united states like this !! I explained all this the 3 times I called budget , with no fixing this problem !! Thank god we was not pulled over by cops !! There is a pandemic due to covid but that did not stop me from getting tags on my vehicle !! I will never use budget again and I will tell friends as well !! Deborah and David Mullins !!
I never ever rent the car in the Budget St Catharine In 436 St Paul ST. It is not trust and cheat customs Budget in St Catharines. I rented SUV Hyundai for vacation. the server promised gave unlimited mileage, and then checked car quickly nothing scratch. so we rented for 7days and 7 days insurance, but we returned only 5th day. When we return car the charged us over mileage about $200 fee, and 7day rental, and 7day insurance fee. But we had receipt for evidence but it is unlimited mileage. Finally, we got mileage charge off. charge 6 days insurance.........the worst thing is he check it have a tiny scratch in font class, but my friend told me, it existed before we rental. it charge us $700. we were freaking out. But we bought whole coverage insurance( road system insurance). so we safe again. the worst thing was the server ask me to described about the damage by his way. that is "when we driving in highway, the small stone hit the class." it was ridiculous. I have 6 years drive experience. never have this kind accident happen. I felt be cheated.
As a first time customer, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of the entire process and great customer service provided by all Budget employees. I always expected Budget to be a feel like an economy-class service, it felt premium.
Good fast service but was quoted different price than I actually had to pay
Good friendly location
Came from out of town for work. Great service great rates will deffintly use this location again
Hours posted are incorrect. Nobody answers the phone. Do not book or drive here to book based on posted hours. Just go elsewhere.
I have never dad such good service like this. Omar is just so friendly and did everything to accommodate me . Thank you so much ????
Each time I rent a vehicle from Budget my experience is phenomenal. And it's not just because of the cost of the rental. But more so it's the Budget staff. Their employees, regardless, of the location, are genuinely kind and accommodating. They go above and beyond to engage each customer as an individual and not just as the next person in line. That's a quality that cannot be taught. It can be enhanced, but not taught. My hat is off to Budget for the quality of the product they produce, great rental vehicles. And the caliber of people they employ. See you again for my next great rental!!!
(Translated) Poor service at 4232 boulevard Bourque in Sherbrooke, Peter charged us $ 60 + tx because we parked the truck in the back and the garbage truck did not have enough room to pass. However when we call the company sani Estrie, the lady confirms to us that no the truck did not come twice and that there was no bill of $ 60.Bravo my Fart, you got caught.Is it you other person who are done doing the trash or other bogus ???? (Original) Service médiocre au 4232 boulevard Bourque à Sherbrooke,Peter nous a facturer 60$ +tx car on a stationner le camion à l'arrière et le camion à déchet n'avais pas assez de place pour passer.Pourtant quand on apelle à la compagnie sani Estrie,la dame nous confirme que non le camion n'est pas venu 2 fois et qu'il n'y a pas eu de facture de 60$.Bravo mon Péter,tu t'es fais prendre.Y'a t'il d'autre personne qui ce sont fait faire le coup des poubelles ou autres faux frais????
very satisfied with the service I received. easy to pickup and drop off the car.
I booked a full sized sedan with the Impala as an example. But I was given a Camry as the man at the counter insisted that the Camry was full sized sedan. Online the Camry was a mid sized. I feel cheated.
Very disappointing experience; I made a reservation by September 3, 2021, on Oct 22, 2021, but when I arrived at Ontario International Airport in Ontario California, I went to the Budget Counter and they were not able to find my reservation, there was no reservation in Budget System!, so they rent me the car, but to the counter fare, that was NOT what was offered when I made the reservation, my initial reservation number was B6Z21U, and the Rental Agreement Number was 372717903, I require a fair deal as offered when I made the reservation.
I like the curbside drop-off feature. It is sooooo convenient - especially when you have a lot of bags, that you dread loading all of them one by one onto the shuttle bus. Between my wife and I we had seven bags. But I didn't understand how this feature worked, and when I asked the agent at the counter about it, he told me to call the 1-800 hotline. He had no idea what it was! Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise at the time we returned the car. We moved to the back seat and the agent drove us to the terminal. We didn't need the shuttle bus at all!
Avoid the old guy Derek, too rude to represent these brands! We endup canceling our two weeks rental as he did not accept our french license.
(Translated) Excellent service! Simple, efficient and reliable. Very satisfied with the service received. (Original) Excellent service ! Simple, efficace et fiable. Très satisfaite du service reçu.
Picked up the car from LAX and had a one way rental to ONT airport. Dropped the car off at 11:30pm on Friday night (which to my knowledge is “after hours”), and left the keys in the key drop box; as instructed. Received a call Saturday morning stating I dropped the car off at 5:30am and the keys were nowhere to be found. I told the employee, Manny, that I left the keys in the drop box. He stated he would let the other employees know. I then received ANOTHER call on Sunday from an individual that they still could not locate the keys. I called back, to receive a voicemail, and I said that I spoke with someone yesterday where I left the keys; and to call me back to get this resolved. No call back. I then called Monday, and again received a voicemail. Still no call back, and it is now Thursday. Much to my surprise, they charged my credit card an additional $238 for a “lost key” that they have in their possession. I DO NOT recommend reserving a car from this location, unless you want zero form of communication and don’t care about extra charges that you should not be liable for.
Friendly staff, excellent service! They offer free upgrades if the class you chose is unavailable.
Always friendly and quick! 10/10
(Translated) The Budget branch offers good prices and good discounts if you want to rent a vehicle. Employees are easy to approach and will offer you a favorable contract. Where it went wrong was when making a tire change because of puncture. The courier charge set the tone that the vehicle had been deliberately damaged. (Original) La succursale Budget offre de bon prix et de bon rabais si vous désirez louer un véhicule. Les employés sont faciles d'approche et vont vous offrir un contrat avantageux. Là où ça se gâte fut au moment de faire un changement de pneu pour cause de crevaison. L'accusation courrielle donnait le ton qu'on avait volontairement abîmé le véhicule.
Quick, knowledgeable and super friendly. I definitely recommend.
I was involved in an accident and needed a vehicle while I was sorting things out with MPI. I didn't have an appointment for a car and called just before closing time. I was worried that I wouldn't make down before 6 but the man on the phone said that he would wait so I could get a car.I arrived late and sure enough the staff were still there and had a car waiting by the door. I was very impressed with the service and will not hesitate to use this rental agency again if I even need to rent a car in the future.
(Translated) a place to avoid ,,, (Original) une place à éviter,,,
(Translated) After 6 months of calling them for a double reservation in order to obtain a refund of one of the two reservations, still no response. I call customer service every 10 days and every time the agent tells me to call back in 2 days, in 10 days, in 30 days (depending on the agent's mood) that my file is being processed. Following the number of calls that I made, I expect one day that they will take the lead to call me to settle everything !! (Original) Après 6 mois d'appel auprès d'eux pour une réservation faite en double afin d'obtenir un remboursement d'une des deux réservation, toujours pas de réponse. J'appelle le service à la clientèle tous les 10 jours et à toutes les fois l'agent me dit de rappeler dans 2 jours, dans 10 jours, dans 30 jours (tout dépendant de l'humeur de l'agent) que mon dossier est en traitement. Suite aux nombres d'appels que j'ai fait, je m'attends un jour que eux prenne le lead de m'appeler pour régler le tout!!
Your representative was fabulous. She was quick, caring, and responsive to me as a person. I really appreciated her professionalism. She needs a bonus or promotion.
I had a horrible experience from start to finish. When I arrived to pick up the vehicle, the counter agent was extremely pushy about the added insurance. She stated my insurance would not cover the rental because of its size and it's potential time out of service. Once we were done at the counter still waited 40min. for the vehicle to be washed. When the vehicle arrived wet, it was an older model Chevy van, although I was promised a newer Ford Transit 12 passenger van. I stepped into a small office near the pickup area and the agent inside said that they did not have the newer fleet of the Ford Transit models.I asked to speak with a manager, and expressed my disappointment of the scratches on the exterior, bent license plate, scratches on interior, and roofing that was coming off. The manager, I believe her name was Debbie, was extremely rude. She stated they could not guarantee a type of model. That they were providing what I asked for a 12 passenger van. she said if we wanted to wait another 30 to 45 minutes they would wash another van. I explained that this was my first time with budget and if I would have known my experience would be what it was, I would have gone back to Enterprise. Her response was, I could go to another company if I'm not happy with what they were offering me. Upon returning the vehicle I saw three of the Ford Transit models that I was promised when I made the reservation over the phone. The only kind agent was the security guard that helped us check off the damage on the van prior to taking the vehicle. I will definitely not be returning as a customer.
Very Upset with the Car Rental at Budget . So upsetting and disappointing will tell all my friends not to go there. I planned my holidays for Aug 10-aug 13 and have worked many hours to make sure everything is covered. When I got there the man at the desk said they place a 350.00 hold on your card. NO WHERE on the site they say they place a hold on your card for that amount. NO PLACE. yes I had the car rental covered and was going to pay cash at the desk .So disappointing as I planned this for a month had I know I would have made sure it was all covered. I have a terminal ill friend I have known since I was 9 years old and had planned to see that's like a hour away. then to visit the beach where I grew up. SO Upset and so furious as NO WHERE it is states this. Next time under terms and agreement it states that for the next person so there not disappointed . This is Thumbs down for me
The $15 weekend discount is a joke. They charge you the full amount regardless of their "confirmation" email which clearly says that. Then you need to call them waste half an hour, they tell you we will refund that as a "courtesy". This also happened to my friend.
Rented a car from Sudbury to Belleville and had to switch vehicles to head back home due to an air freshener that caused an allergic reaction that was hidden somewhere in the car. The man at Budget in Belleville was very understanding and after confirming there was a smell to the car, he happily switched the car for us with many apologies! Very good and polite service. Kudos to the man working at the Barrie location as he contacted all Budget locations from there to Belleville to determine if they had a car available!
Had a few minor problems however they were addressed and resolved without issue. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Budget is ok , but often there is a long waiting time while they are looking after customers. I realize that wage cost is a problem but so would it be if your customers decide to check out the competition.
(Translated) wow .... great service this morning despite the fact that I had not booked in advance ...... 2 smart guys gave me 5 Star and more service. I will be faithful to this companies in advance (Original) wow....super service ce matin malgré que je n'avais pas réserve d'avance......2 chic type m'ont donne un service 5 Etoiles et plus. Je serai fidèle a cette entreprises a l'avance
Store manager really helped me get a car for my business travel last week when cars were in high demand.Very appreciative of his extra efforts. Thanks again Jason
(Translated) very good service (Original) tres bon service
The lady in charged me for refueling on my receipt when I filled up paying $10 729 Archibald Ave, Ontario, CA 91764 which is less than 1.7 miles away. That in itself is inferring I used 3 gallons for 1.7 miles. The car was over fueled this is why people don't trust the parking lot checkout. This is my 1st & last time doing so. I will always deal with the counter people which never overcharged in the past.
No respect for the customer. No respect for their commitment to car reservations It is shameful to book three weeks before and not to respect its most basic commitments
doesnt even tell you they are putting you on hold then make you wait for 25 minutes.. if it was not for my boss who rented from this location and me having to call I wouldnt use budget at all - CRAPPPPPP customer service. SO rude on the phone, and doesnt even apologize for the wait or say they are busy... second time calling them and the service has not gotten better thats for sure
The staff here is very helpful
Exceptional service, very much recommend this location.
Awesome staff. Great feel. Will be back again.
Great service
I have had great experiences with Budget so far. Easy to rent and get going.
The staff were very helpful. Quick turn around.
My experience with budget was excellent, but this time no at this location only 3320 Dufferin. If everything that you need a car, do not go to this location at all. The manager there garbage because he doesn’t know how to respect his customer. Read everything twice because they will to charge you for anything.
Bad service. Rude at the desk. Gave us an economy car paid for a sedan. Not cleaned from previous user garbage and mud on the interior. No rectification. Pathetic service. Go with Enterprise.
Very frustrating
I was charged an extra hour??? I obviously made it to the airport on time since I caught my flight and gave myself enough time.
(Translated) Very nice staff and nice car 2022 (Original) Personnel très gentil et belle voiture 2022
(Translated) Mehdi offers great service! (Original) Mehdi offre un excellent service!
My huaband and I were left stranded at the airport due to no car being left for us and no number to contact for problems with our car rental reservations. As of 9 30 the next moring we still have not been able to contact anyone about the car rental. They open at 9. If we did not have family in town to pick us up we would have had to pay for cabs everywhere. This has been a bad time due to the car rental.
I would give less if I could. They where supposed to be here at 9 no one showed up until 9:50. This is not how you run a business. When we called the kitchener location to find out what was happening they were incredibly rude. Instead of apologizing he actually yelled at us. Never again.
Extremely disrespectful and rude staff. I was sharing my terrible experience with another customer and they started screaming at me to "shut up" at the top of their lungs and harassing, threatening me. Don't come here unless you like being abused.
I was crooked!!! Beware. My reservation through Booking was 90$, the person responsible told me that he would give me an upgrade for 20-30$ more. However when I came back the next day, my bill was 260$. When I told him that my reservation was 90$ a day, he started to try to convince that he is a kind person and that I was 30 min late and that he will not charge a surcharge. So when I realize he was trying to crook me, I told him no worries charge me the extra hour, but he insisted that the system did this and that…. What a poor mentality ????. And when I told him that he would loose me as a client: he replied that he lost other clients and that he did not care.
(Translated) 1 day Saturday reservation: La Cie seems at first glance very accommodating. They call me 2 days before my reservation to offer to have the truck the day before (Friday) because it relieves the clerk on Saturday morning. Peter also offers to bring the truck back only on Sunday morning when it opens because it cannot be inspected on Saturday at the end of the day and I am responsible for any damage or vandalism that may be done to the vehicle. Perfect! I'll take their advice! Well he charges me 2 days of rentals !!!!! Peter manually adds on the contract after signing in my absence: if back Sunday Am load 2 days ..... I had to argue and they didn't want to know anything ... Peter will call you back on Monday !! 3 hours later the clerk calls me back and tells me that Peter will only charge me for one day !!! I will never do business with the Cie budget again, I regularly rent trucks with another Cie and I have never had this kind of behavior to defraud! Very very disappointed with this company! (Original) Réservation 1 jour samedi : La Cie semble a prime abord semble très accommodante. On m'appelle 2 jours avant ma réservation pour m'offrir d'avoir le camion la veille fin de journée(vendredi) car ça désengorge le commis le samedi matin. Peter m'offre de plus de ramener le camion seulement le dimanche matin à l'ouverture car il ne peut être inspecté le samedi fin journée et je suis responsable de tout dommage ou vandalisme pouvant être fait au véhicule. Parfait! Je vais suivre leur conseil! Et bien il me facture 2 jours de locations !!!!! Peter ajoute manuellement sur le contrat après signature en mon absence: si retour dimanche Am charger 2 jours.....J'ai dû argumenter et ils ne voulaient rien savoir...Peter vous rappellera lundi !! 3heures plus tard le commis me rappelle et me dit que finalement Peter ne me chargera qu'une journée !!! Jamais je ne referai affaire avec la Cie budget, je loue des camions régulièrement avec une autre Cie et jamais je n'ai eu ce genre de comportement pour frauder ! Très très déçu de cette entreprise!
I feel cheated because I returned the car 22hrs before due time and yet I was charged for the whole next day.
Customer Service and everyone working at Location are amazzzzzzing!!!!!
Reserving the car was easy and the best value. The rental van was a little slow getting to rental facility but very fast on return to airport. Pick-up and return of vehicle was great.
Phoned 5 times during a 2 hour period - 2 times they didn't answer, 2 times a gentleman put me on hold for about 15 minutes and never took my call and the last call someone (after 5 minutes of ringing) hung up on me. Not very good public service. I have dealt with Budget in the past and their service has always been excellent. This was a big disappointment.
Honestly, if i could give this location zero stars i would. Aweful customer service - as simple as that. This is the second time in a row that we tried to rent a vehicle and recieved a call minutes later to tell us they don’t have any available. Even though the online booking says otherwise. Not only is their customer service skills disappointing but their online booking system is flawed as well. This specific experience was extremely disappointing considering that the agent called and said a car wouldn’t be available until 12pm…only to leave out the fact that they CLOSE AT 12pm! We showed up to pick up our vehicle to find the location closed. This lack of professionalism and pure laziness is embarrassing for such a reputable company.
It was all around the worst rental experience I’ve ever had ... the car was messy when we got it and thats just the start. We had issues with the car I was told to exchange it for another one at a different location, upon my arrival the employee was in shorts and tshirt and said that he couldn’t help me i explained everything to him and then told me something opposite then what the staff on the phone told me. He eventually was going to give me an SUV that had front and back bumper damage I told him I didn’t want that on my account. Ended up returning to my original location a day early because my mom potentially has a cancerous tumor and I had to rush to the ER and has been blacking out . When i arrived the employees were telling me that I was gonna have to pay a big bill to return the car like 15 hours early so I had to sit in the car on hold for about an hour and a half which my wife and 6 month old had to wait the entire time for the whole length of the call finally got told it wouldn’t be an extra charge only to find out I returned it and it was cheaper the whole time. So because of how the employees gave me the run around my wife and kid literally we’re stuck waiting for me... I’ve rented several cars from enterprise and Alamo and have amazing experiences I was warned not to use budget but I thought it wouldn’t be that bad only to fined out it really was that bad .... so let down and disappointed and honestly bothered to how I was dealt with and now one wanted to make anything right . Which will lead me to posting on social media to try and explain my story and maybe the media will hear this literally was Chaos . Thanks for hopefully reading this I just wanted someone to hear and listen and be polite and make my time worth it .
I was a little afraid to bring car back after reading some reviews but the service was excellent and they were so obliging. Two thumbs up.
Competitive rates. Both TJ and Chris consistently provide efficient and helpful customer service. Highly recommend doing business here!
Service was great, insurance on the car was expensive, car was brand new and ran great.
Was disappointed in cost. Charged for an extra day when ten minutes late.
Absolutely ridiculous, don't ever rent a vehicle from here. You'll be paying $1000 dollars before you even know it. We rented a vehicle from here and they charged extra for winter tires. This is bc, in the winter, you literally can't drive without winter tires, they should have them already on, and not charge you 1/4 of what winter tires cost to put on IF YOU BUY THEM FOR YOUR OWN CAR. The next charge they gave us was for a chip in the windshield. This wasn't a big rock chip, there wasn't a crack. If you were given 15 minutes i doubt you could even find it because it was so small. Like seriously, it was too small to even repair. So now we're paying $500 to replace a windshield that has no real damage, and we paid for them to have winter tires on. At a time and place where driving without winter tires is literally life threatening. Go anywhere else. Don't get stuck with these guys. They are awful, take my word for it. They will be in your pocket before you even know it.
usually I book with them, the guys are the desk are super nice and helpful. but they are expensive in the summer time, so I did a booking with discount and got screwed over because they cancelled my reservation without telling me (long story). So i run across the street to budget and tell them the story, they hook me up with a vehicle in five minutes, its a premium (they had no other ones) and they even give me a discount. I will never betray budget again, thank you so much for saving my weekend!
Don't rent from this location! Consider this a warning!!!! They will pad the bill with fake fuel charges. I returned the car FULL knowing what the ridiculous charges are for them to refill at $3.25 per Litre. When i got my Credit card statement there was a fuel charge added. When i requested a copy of the invoice the fuel return box on the receipt was blank, not common practice i've worked at a rental agency before. But the kilometres were there and only driving 200km to and from a funeral. Total of 400km. I know the tank was full because the pump didn't stop once, or twice but three times! Don't rent here!
I rented a car for a week from this location. They were helpful in giving me the best rate possible and would recommend renting from them.
All good and straight forward. Good to deal with
Horrible experience they placed several holds on multiple cards and held up my funds for my entire trip. Everyone has been unapologetic and not caring about the stress this caused me on my trip to only have 100.00 and an infant and no emergency funds because of Budget placing several holds on 2 different cards I own. The worst customer service I have experienced in my life. I give them zero stars. There should have only been 1 hold but instead it was 3.
By far the best place to rent a car in the East end of town!
Great car, great customer service... really recommend this place
NO STAR ACTUALLY - VERY RUDE
I would never, ever recommend renting from this Budget location. On December 9 I went online and prepaid for a rental from December 18-26. Pick up and drop off times were both for 12pm. On December 18 I arrived from Halifax. I went to pick up my rental vehicle, and there was a sign on the door stating "Be back in 20 minutes." Luckily my sister-in-law didn't mind waiting for the clerk to return. When they returned I went in to get the keys for my car. The clerk asked if the rental was prepaid, and asked again twice more before asking for my licence and credit card. She explained that there would be a $350 hold on my credit card. I asked if this was on top of the rental fee, or if it was for a total of $350? She wasn't able to answer this question. She also wasn't able to explain why the hold was going on my card to begin with, but told me to call the 800 number. We went out and did the walk around, and I signed the papers and off I went. When I returned the car on the 26 I arrived at 11:40 and the clerk working that day was outside and informed me he had just closed fo the day (closing time is 12 noon on Saturdays). He asked if he could just email me a copy of the receipt. I told him no, and after discussing with the other clerk (in another language) he unlocked the door and went back inside. He then proceded to argue with me that the car had not been prepaid. I asked for a paper copy of my receipt and left. After checking my credit card statement today, I saw on my statement that I had been charged for the rental a second time. After speaking to both Budget, and my credit card company I will be getting a refund, but not for 3 business days. This is not an acceptable way to run a business.
I had a confirmed booking, but when I arrived to pick up the car I was told I would have to wait half a day for any cars to be available
Very good and they quick

(Translated) Excessable phone service. The truck rental site and call services: a real crazy house, and no service in French. Run away (Original) Service au téléphone excécrable. Le site de location de camions et le services d'appels : une vraie maison de fous, et pas de service en français. Fuyez
When I first arrived, there was no line or anyone. I still had to wait to be helped. I asked a women at avis for help and she helped me. The check out was fast, I got the lot number to get the car and it was hard to tell where the exit was to exit the budget rental space. When I got the car, it wasn't clean. I took pictures of the outisde. I totally forget to get some from the inside. I wasn't too disappointed with the car being dirty outisde but then I saw inside. It shows you how well the car was cleaned, I found someone's DIRTY mask in there. So gross. I was so mad. I'm glad I found it and not my kids. The car drove good, will not lie. We kept the car for six days and enjoyed it. When I returned the car, same thing, it was really hard to find the entrance for budget. I had to ask someone. I wanted to speak to someone about me returning it early but I was told to just park the car. I wasn't too please with budget. I don't know how I feel about being a returning customer.
Great vehicle & service during pick up & drop off.
Rented 15 times since Sept. '18 at this location.Superb service and professional staff that consistently provide excellent customer service. Thank you!
Drew the manager and his staff are outstanding. ????
Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Clean cars and great rates. Good location easy to get to.
Fast, reliable and great service
I received a car with low tire pressure, 25 lbs, of which I had to fix. I also had note that said cleaned and sanitized, due to Covid, but dirty coffee cups and lids under the passenger seat. Then the right rear tail lights went out. Budget actually wanted me to drive in on my vacation to exchange the vehicle. That is their job. They should have handled the situation by driving to me to fix the tail light bulb. Driving with no blinker or brake lights is very dangerous. I will never rent from Budget again. Very disappointed.
Completely unimpressed. After a near 20 minute call just to book a reservation for a 3-5 day SUV rental - I am still shocked at the difficulty. I've used Budget in the past on several occasions - but the abhorrent service level I experienced today is making me re-think my position. I am cancelling my reservation. I am not confident things will get better before they get worse.
They have their business inside NorthStar Hyundai in Edmonton. I reserved a vehicle to use while mine is being serviced and twice now a promised vehicle that I reserved a week in advance was not available and ready for me and I had to wait more than 30 minutes while they went back to St. Albert to get one. I drive in from St. Paul and after a 2 hr drive the last thing I need is to wait!!
I had the pleasure of renting a vehicle from Gaagaandeep at Budget / Avis, St. Albert location twice. Gaagaandeep is exceptional to deal with. I have not come across anyone as knowledgeable with the fleet as Gaagaandeep, or willing to share and discuss which vehicle would be my best option. Gaagaandeep intensively listened to what I was looking for, all the while managing his telephone and another employee. Gaagaandeep did this with respect, calmness and a smile. I literally asked Gaagaandeep if he was the owner because of his excellent customer service. I look forward to returning to the Tudor Glen location specifically to rent a vehicle because of the excellent customer service Gaagaandeep provides.
Warning you do not rent from these guys On Monday I seen a vehicle in their parking lot I called and reserved it on Friday afternoon I show up to pick up the car they rented it out to somebody else they could not give me another car and they basically told me to call customer service and make a complaint in my opinion displays doesn't care about their customers they just rent to whoever and whatever they got they do not take customer service in a consideration I do not recommend this place whatsoever
The service was very easy and quick. The only thing I didn't like was how long it took the charge to appear on my credit card.
Not much options.
Poor service and road worthiness of Vehicles.
Great staff
Great cars
Great service.
I would give 0 stars if that was an option. What a pooly run location!!! The guy running the store, I think his name was Russ, was completely useless and very rude!!! I was embarrassed standing at this kiosk while litterally right next to me, there was a rental place called Enterprise Rental where they were smiling and treating customers the way I would have expected! Even the people at Avis seemed to care more about my well being than this clown! Thanks for making the decision easy for my future rental needs while in the London area. To make matters worse, the car they gave me was dirty, inside and out, and was in desperate need of gas and an oil change!
Quality cars
Great price if your looking for a rental, much better then other leading rental companies
It was clean, the staff were great.
Budget on Welton Street in Sydney is the best place to rent a vehicle in Sydney .... Friendly and courteous staff!
Charged me for a full day cause I was an hour late returning the vehicle. I've never had that issue with any car rental business. First time at budget. Usually use enterprise. Last time I will go to budget.
Excellent service, check in was very professional and timely, we even got a nice upgrade to premium, Becki provided top notch service.
Excellent service received from Budget car. Very convenient. They have location right at the airport so as soon as you land you can pick up your car in 5 mins. The lady at the counter was very nice and professional. I was offered an additional tire and windshield insurance which I didn’t regret. Roads are rough on the countryside. Car was a new Ford Ecostar with 17000 km. Comfortable and clean. Will use Budget can on my next trip too!!! Thank you.
Very helpful and very nice. They were super accommodating and understanding. All staff were great and friendly, especially Gee.
(Translated) We had a tour desk make a reservation from Japan. It is hard to understand because it is in the back of a Ford dealer. Japanese is not understood. Optional insurance was $ 26 a day. You will be asked when you rent. We went to borrow from Westmark Hotel on foot. (Original) ツアーデスクに日本から予約してもらいました。フォードのディーラーの中の奥にあるのでわかりにくいです。日本語は通じません。任意保険は1日26ドルでした。借りる時に聞かれます。ウェストマークホテルから歩いて借りに行きました。
Terrible experience from this rental location, the only concern for this Budget Branch is to charge customers as much as possible without any consideration for customers convenience. It is clear from previous reviews this Budget location tries to take customers for every penny they can with false rental agreements in hopes customers do not dispute the bill, it is sad when customers have to dispute charges with credit card companies after this Budget location tries to scam customers, it is also sad Budget Corporate allows this to continue. Unlimited mileage means "unlimited mileage" but not to this location, they scam customers. This location tries not to honor signed contracts and nickel and dime customers and when they are approached about customer concerns, the branch and management ignore customers opinions and concerns. I rent cars on a regular basis as well as colleagues from different companies we work with and best advise for anyone is to not rent vehicles from this location. They clearly have no interest in customer satisfaction and make a bad name for Budget Corporate. The amount of time I spent trying to finalize a contract with this location was ridiculous, this location hopes customers will just give up and pay outrageous rates, our people are very disappointed with the service received and it is our fault for going back to this location after the terrible service we receive we received on previous rentals from this same location. The manager could care less about customers concerns, only concern was taking money that does not belong to Budget and the only way to teach this Budget location business is to take them to court. I just noticed a 345.00 late fee on top of 7 weeks rental and outrageous km charge, Budget feels renting vehicles at monthly rates and charging for km's isn't enough they need to grind customers and over charge for extended vehicle rentals. think about that, charge for weekly rental, then charge for additional km's and then charge 345.00 for vehicle late fee when Budget was fortunate enough to keep the vehicle rented after I told the manager at Budget I was keeping vehicle, easy, horrific experience and when you call for assistance they just say "it is what it is" after Budget acknowledged they over charged for km's and could care less about customers.
Staff here is great! They're so helpful and always available to answer your questions and give the best deals possible. Hamza is great too! Very helpful! Highly recommend!
Called 5 days before my expected pick up time to change the time. Got there and there was no record of it in the system. They also didn’t have a car for me… DONT RENT FROM THEM!!
We were so impressed with the young lady working on February 1st. She waited well past closing time for our plane that arrived later than expected. The car was clean and ready to go in a snow storm. Well Done!
The staff there over the long weekend were friendly and fast! Even with people lined up on a Friday after work all wanting cars! Kudos to the guy who was there Friday night / Monday afternoon. A+ service
Last week i called from the side of the road, where my personal vehicle broke down, and Budget went out of their way to find a location that was closest to me and my mechanic. Very accommodating, and organized. we were even able to find a vehicle that suited the trip i had planned out to Ucluelet. They were flexible on the return time/date and even helped me transfer my stuff from the rental back into my personal vehicle. Awesome Service. Thanks so much~ Morgan Bouquot
Very poor service, no one could speech English.
Terrible service. Was going to be 2 mins late to pick up and Google maps says they were open for another 2 hours. Agent called me and said they were going to lock the doors right at my appointment time and leave unless I gave them an extra $150.
Great car rental company, our Jeep compass was double booked so they upgraded us to a Chevy camero for no extra charge.
Best experience ever!
10 on 10 amazing place
Excellent service
Had very bad experience at enterprise car rental and I had gone to budget to see what they have got, thank god I met this super cool guy Conner over there, who helped me to get the right vehicle for the right price, really appreciate.... good customer service, keep it up guys
These guys here are liars & Crooks. They mislead me to believe that insurance is mandatory and my car rental cost was 30 bucks per day more because of this. Budget website states that insurance is optional so these guys here are big Liars & Crooks. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN
Best place to rent a car from. The staff and the manager (Hamza) are super nice
Courteous staff. Car was great. Overall a positive experience.
They were very helpful and it was a smooth process
I have been renting from them over the past year. It has always been the ultimate experience that I am so grateful for! The last time I rented I tried to go for a deal through Hertz. Hertz made an error and couldn't rent me the car there upon my arrival. it was so stressful and I was very sad as I was in desperate need to visit my father in New Brunswick. I called budget/avis and they were able to find me a car last minute, and for near the same price!! Not any car either, I rode in style with a fancy teal Jeep Wrangler!! It really made my day, I was so excited by the whole experience. I know this is a personal experience, but they were so amazing, I just want to say thank you and tell everybody how amazing they are!!! Do rent from them!
(Translated) I paid in cash! however they also charged me the rental on my credit card. So I had to send my rental agreement and my invoice which mentions that I paid in cash for the company's head office, The budget staff also mentions that they have no control over the invoicing and that it is is the head office that evaluates. The evidence provided was deemed insufficient and the company offers no solutions. In short, I never got reimbursed. In short, it is a FRAUD. Budget = never again (Original) J'ai payé en argent! cependant ils m'ont également chargé la location sur ma carte de crédit. J'ai donc du envoyé mon contrat de location et ma facture qui mentionne que j'ai payé en argent eau siège social de la compagnie, Le personnel de budget mentionne également qu'ils n'ont aucun contrôle sur la facturation et que c'est le siège social qui évalue. Les preuves fournies ont été jugées insuffisantes et la compagnie ne propose aucunes solutions. Bref, je ne me suis jamais fait rembourser. Bref, c'est une FRAUDE. Budget = Plus jamais
Very efficient and east
Reserved my car early and everything was fine, then one day before picking it up they change the class of car I was going to get without a price change. Cancelled immediately.
Every car they gave me was dirty or smelled bad of cigarettes and one had very bad worn tires with warning lights coming on the dashboard! Finally had to settle with a nasty colored car I didn't even want! You should just let the customer pick the vehicle they want in the first place and won't have to go through this unexpectable procedure and ruin their trip before it starts! We will never rent from Budget again!
Best place to rent car in winnipeg.. Great Service
there is no doubt that they are the best.
Affordable and great service! My favourite place to rent!
4 reservations and no cars available. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.
Discount car rentals left us stranded. Very thankful for Kaylea for finding us some vehicles and saving our holiday . Very greatful
Good customer service
Budget is really lacking in service and in running their business. We reserved and prepaid for a vehicle yet when we went to pick it up they didn’t have anything even close to what we had paid for. They offered the only vehicle they had left that would have been in a completely different price point.( Elite standard SUV vs a compact suv) roughly a 100-200 rental difference) what do they offer.. 50.00 off...oh and we can call corporate on Monday. Absolutely unacceptable service. not only was the vehicle type chosen specifically for use/ need . We were told to they don’t even carry the type of inventory we reserved. To be honest this is thievery pre paying for one thing and receiving something different. Do not rent from this company
I called about a car rental and the woman who answered was rude and when I asked about them advertising that they take pre paid master card from money mart they said that I was wrong and that they don't do it even tho there advertising said they did, cause why would I call if they were not advertising it, so when I asked to talk to the manger she gets on the phone and said we don't do that and hung up and when I called back she said I was not listening and when I said I wanted to put in a complaint she said I'm the manger and would not let me be put through to the complaint department because I was putting a complaint on her and her staff for being rude to me, I kept asking for the complant department and she said I'll put you through to my head manager department which never went through, and this was all over them advertising pre paid credit through money mart that they were allowed, I called money mart and they said they should and if they didn't then it must be a new company taking over and they needed to contacted there office so they wouldn't advertised it anymore. I would never want to go through this company because of there staff and manager and how they acted I will be filling a complaint with the main company if you want good serves don't go to this budget there people won't do that just because they don't like there job doesn't mean they have to be rude and hang up on someone for questioning there advertising, so stay clear of this place bad business they got I hope the manager is happy with herself because she won't be getting my business or anyone I know
A bunch of liars. Said my compact they gave was an upgraded intermediate car. Lied to my face.
I reserved a car for a long trip went to pick it up no car. Got stuck with a much smaller car with no refund in rental difference. Bad service on the return rude girls with no willingness to help resolve. I then called 800# the first person was great I thought good but then she put me with the next guy and he was terrible. He did finaly give me the refund on the almost 300$ tank of gas i was not supposed to pay for but nothing on the xm I was not supposed to pay for. It was terible
Not great service
a rubbishy leader of this budget and avis. they rental more than what they have. and you just wait until they find it and missing some important dates. (i was wait for 1 day until i cancelled it)also, they can do nothing and just let you do it buy yourself. They can do nothing that you book from their website. She just said she never use their website and can't refund your money. You have do it by yourself and no car. Please avoid it, that you could have a good experience.!!! better to have discount car company and enterprise. they can pick you up and send you back. Almost waiting for 3 weeks, i still not get my money back. I just call the number they did not give me any useful responses.
(Translated) I reserved a car at budget rock forest. Once there they do not want to leave the car with me unless I take out their own insurance even if I have written and even telephone proof that I am already insured with my personal insurance. They charge me $ 22 / day more which makes the car far too expensive. Result I find myself with three children no car for the holidays because I can not even book elsewhere since it is construction and that all cars are rented everywhere there. The gentleman on the service is rather stupid and not helpful. It really is a place that I do not recommend to anyone. (Original) J'ai réserver une voiture chez budget rock forest. Une fois sur place ils ne veulent pas me laisser la voiture à moins que je prennes leurs propres Assurances même si j'ai la preuve écrite et même téléphonique que je suis deja assurer avec mes assurance personnelle. Ils me chargent 22$/jour de plus ce qui fait que la voiture revient beaucoup trop cher. Résultat je me retrouve avec trois enfants pas de voiture pour les vacances car je ne peux même pas réserver ailleurs puisque c'est la construction et que toutes les voitures sont louées partout l. Le monsieur au service est plutôt bête et non serviable. C'est vraiment une place que je ne recommande pas à personne.
I rented a car for just one day. They charged me twice and the person that works there told me he cannot explain what happened. They are completely disorganised. Don't rent from them, please. Finally, I heard people there complaining too.
Very disappointed, booked the car rental on line and went to pick it up. The address on the web site was not a car rental place, but a store. Finally found the rental place, but it was closed, called the number on the door and got a message giving another number. Called it twice and they told me they were a car detailing place so I gave up...never did get the car rented.... good thing it was not an emergency. Won't try them again would give less than one star if that was possible
This rental location is the best! Glen and his team are amazing to deal with. I have been using them for over two years and could not be happier with the service we receive!
Very helpful even if have the vehicle I had asked for
Hamsa is great. I really enjoy dealing with him and the location for me is very convenient. Have dealt with the downtown budget for almost 20 years. I keep going back because of the staff and service.
Great service! Very uncomplicated and customer oriented!
They went over and beyond to help me with renting a vehicle on short notice. Everyone was friendly and courteous from beginning to end.
Great rates
