They did not tell us to put Diesel Exhause Fluid. They told us not to worry about it. If we had known to put it in, then the check engine ligtht would not have come on in the mountains of Utah on our way to Idaho.

I called the local Budget location the morning of my move to see if I could pick up the reserved truck a little early and was told the truck was out of service. The local Budget couldn't do anything about it so I called corporate and they found me another truck 50 miles away.

truck was an older model and had small wheels. the right side mirror required manual adjustment and was almost useless. the truck had to be put in a low gear on hills and was quite problematic on long climbs. I chose this company based on cost

The 24’ moving truck I rented from Budget was exactly the right size for my household move. I planned on making two, 4-mile trips between houses and the actual volume was about what I had estimated for a 3 bedroom house. The truck was in good condition despite the long gouge the previous renter had made along the passenger side of the truck, but the damage was well documented by Budget before I took possession. The main reason I chose Budget was because they rented trucks (non-commercial) that had lift gates. I was most surprised and happy to see that the vehicle also had an operational ramp that saved me hours of moving time because I only used the lift gate for my heavy items. The second reason I used this particular location was because of the proximity to my houses; only about 10 miles round-trip. I especially liked the thorough operational walkthrough that Budget gave me when I picked up the truck. They even went so far as to direct me to the nearest gas station that sold the special diesel fuel I would need upon return of the vehicle. The only problem encountered during pick-up and drop-off was the extremely long wait time for their antiquated computer system to locate and print out the contract and receipt, but I enjoyed talking with the employees while I waited for the computer to respond. Overall, I felt that Budget provided an excellent service and product and I would definitely use them again as well as recommend them to anyone who needs a moving truck!

The address and phone number on their web site was incorrect. I had to call the main number to find them. Then they didn't have the size truck that I RESERVED. The battery died causing us an hour delay, which I had to pay the moving labor for. Why don't you have a dedicated battery for the lift, or at least tell customers to start the truck once in a while to keep up the charge? When I returned the truck, the gas station attendant insisted I find parking on the street.

Equipment was in good shape. One thing I would grade them down on, they advertise one price on-line, but when you get there to rent there are a whole bunch of add on's which makes them not so competitive. I think the price of a dolly add on was way out of line. Cost online quoted $60.31, by the time they finished, the cost was $155.00 So, very misleading. Also dolly was 17.95 which should be around $10.00. So, beware, what they tell you online is not the real cost! Moved approx. 15 miles
