To quote a Seinfeld episode- “You know how to take a reservation “ “You just don’t know how to hold the reservation” We were alerted a half hour before rental truck pick up time that no truck was available; they said they had been trying since the day before to find one - why were we alerted right as we were to leave to get it? We had movers coming and we were on a time constraint! We had to end up finding one at the last minute after much frustration with Budget. Never again!

I was supposed to have a 16ft van available for me for pickup on May 7th at 12:00 and when I got to the location they did not have one on the lot. The employee behind the desk was very apologetic and made some calls to see if she could find me one. She could not, I ended up having to rent from U-haul which cost more. I was on a tight deadline and this was a very stressful situation, especially because I had contacted Budget the day before Wednesday, May the 6th to confirm that the vehicle would be there.

I rented a 16 foot truck to drive from Georgia to Florida. Surprisingly this truck was very easy to drive, however it was a bit noisy in the cab. It was large enough to fit everything I needed to move with me. Both the rental check in and the return location were very easy to get to and the person helping me was very informative and answered all of my questions. The price was very favorable and included unlimited mileage, so it was much cheaper than hiring a moving company. I will definitely use Budget rental trucks again. I did add the full insurance/road side assistance to the rental which added to the cost, but since I was driving alone between two states, I wanted the assurances that came with the Insurance and road side assistance.

Enjoy the service I received with Budget from booking online, picking up and returning the truck. The employees In both locations were very courteous and friendly. The truck itself was great easy to drive just hard to climb in if u have bad knees and hips like I do. My dog slept very comfortably on the middle seat.

If it were based on Mr.Scott it would be excellent, he was amazing he went out of his way to bring the tow dolly for the car to us because the movers were so late. He gets an A+++. The truck itself was filthy, when we disinfected the inside it was pretty dirty and then the truck itself needed a good sweep.

The truck was fine and did the job, but there was gasoline or oil or something spilled in the truck when I collected it and when we dropped it off we were expected to fold all the moving blankets ourselves. It could be we just had bad luck. For an in-town move, I'll probably just do uhaul.

Budget was terrific. I called the location and rented the cargo van directly through them. It was clean and ready to go when I got there. It was a pleasure to drive - so much easier to handle than the 11' truck. And the return was equally as easy. I have used U-Haul in the past, but Budget will be my go-to for any future rentals.

The truck was comfortable to drive in and easy to navigate. Also got a little better gas mileage than I was expecting. The only down side was that the cabin didn't look like it has been wiped down at all. The cup holders were grimy and crumbs were everywhere. I made sure to wipe it down myself before sitting down.

this Budget location was not so great... we would not recommend nor would we use again in the future. We reserved a truck with a lift and drove further to this location to get a truck with a lift. We also paid more for the lift. THEY HAVE NO LIFTS AT THIS LOCATION. The person was a jerk. Do not use this location. He also told us not to leave our car in his lot as it is very unsafe location. Never again.

The employee and customer service was excellent! The truck was gross though. I think there was an entire cheetos bag worth of crumbs left in the console, mysterious oil substance in the door pockets, air vent covers broken off, only one cup holder, and no cruise control-for a scheduled 1700 mile move!

The 16' truck was a perfect fit for moving our 2/2 apartment in one trip. Easy to drive, clean and in good condition. The staff was helpful and straight forward. $170 included the truck rental for 1 day, 3 dozen moving pads/blankets, and insurance.

The truck ran and didn't give us any issues on the road. They forgot to include (and I was in too much of a rush to notice) the dollies and furniture pads that we paid for. Hopefully, I can get that rounded when I return the truck.

Due to the social distancing, I had to drive an extra 30 miles to pick up my truck. That was very inconvenient and I would have appreciated a heads up before I had already left to get the truck. It was a good thing I had scheduled my helpers for 2 hours later. I understand its no ones fault, just frustrating.

Had reserved truck a month in advance, got periodic emails saying looking forward to my move and use of Budget truck. I get to Budget/Avis on moving-day Saturday morning and No truck; said they called, but my cell showed No call, and no voice mail, and no email; Budget/Avis staff did Not try to help me locate a truck elsewhere. I finally located another (the last available one) truck at Penske/Hertz for twice the price and larger than desired.
