Budget Truck Review
(3 out of 5 rating)

Truck had over 100,000 miles on it, so of course it almost over heated in the middle of the Nevada desert. Front windshield was dirty and the truck had no wiper fluid. Truck was not in the best condition for long distance road trips.

1.Budget Truck Rental although gave 20% discount but later they added same amount of fee as Rental Fee on top of applicable sales taxes. 2. Budget Truck Rental leave customer to figure out do hooking and unhooking of the towing trolly for the car. This is very critical to ensure the correctness and safety of moving hooked system on the freeway. Because customer are not routinely doing this type of hookup and be able to do properly without the help of Budget Truck Rental professional guys. Budget Truck Rental guys absolutely refuse to help the customers to ensure the proper hookup of towing trolly.

Budget Truck Rental out of Hartford was very professional and prompt. The truck was immaculate and ran very well. One thing to note is that this particular truck didn't have a ramp, so if you require one, you should request it.

the one way rental truck had steering issues ..once on the interstate the truck was hard to control as the steering wheel was extremely loose. if i hit any bumps on the interstate the truck would swerve so badly i felt like it would run off the road so i had to go no faster than 50 mph and even slower thru the TN mountains on I 24..once i made it to my destination the engine light popped on..waiting for roadside assistance as i type as i dont know if the truck will even make it to the drop off point

Unless you move a lot, I would not recommend using the website to choose your truck. You need a human with knowledge to help you with your truck selection. We almost under selected the size of the truck.

The air conditioning on the 24' box truck stopped working after 3 days on the road. Called Budget to report this and they were unable to repair it, so I had a truck in the summer heat of July with no air conditioning, I called them again and asked if they would offer a me a discount, they replied that they would consider it after the truck was returned. I am still waiting for their reply and adjustment.

Budget does not guarantee anything. Period. They don't guarantee the truck will be available, nor that furniture pads will be available, nor, despite their assurances, the rate you will pay. They cancelled our truck twice. Once two days out, once less than 24 hours out and while we were on a 3 hour trip to the house we were moving from. The second reservation had been made by their customer service. Apparently they don't have a better shot at getting a truck than anyone else. We got a smaller truck at a reduced rate. Because of this, we had to rent a second truck and have a second moving event with overnight hotel expenses and additional movers and the whole nine yards. They did discount their truck rate, but in no way did it make up for the hassle and extra expenses we incurred. The second truck was charged at a higher rate than we were promised, I still have to call them on THAT.

Morris Moving and Storage can No Longer say that they show up 100% of the time. I had placed my order well in advance of the first in a series of days that I was hiring Morris Moving and Storage for. I called and Confirmed on July 3, 2014 that everything was set up for service #1 of 4 to begin on July 5, 2014. A few hours later a rep from Morris called me back to ask if I could move my day and time as another job had just came in for the same day. I said NO due to helpers already scheduled for the next day in another state. I was told for the SECOND time on July 3,2014 that the movers would be at my home on July 5th. The morning of July 5th came and NO ONE showed up. Also no one from Morris answered their phones or emails. I was stranded with a moving truck in Missouri and a storage unit and movers to unload in Ohio. No one in Missouri to laid my moving van. Thank goodness for the wonderful people and staff at HireAHelper. They were able to find me some movers that showed up several hours after the original movers time had been contracted but never showed. I will NEVER use Morris Moving and Storage again and am canceling parts 2,3 and 4 of this move that I had scheduled for Morris to do for me. Totally unprofessional for Morris to no show because the 2nd job that came in for July 5th paid them more for that day when if they had looked at all 4 jobs I had scheduled, they would have seen that my job would have paid them more

Budget truck rental guys were very reluctant to help me for securing my car in the towing trolly. How a customer who is not routinely doing this type of hook up would be sure whether the hookup is secure all the way without truck company guy helping the customer!!

The Budget truck we rented was OK but the check engine light came on not long after we rolled out and the maintenance company had to come and service it before we could get started in the AM. The agent renting us the truck did not seem that knowledgeable and did NOT mark the bumper that was seriously damaged even after we pointed it out. Luckily at check in the agent trusted that we were telling the truth.

Getting my moving truck took over an hour (very inefficient), lost precious time there. I was also disappointed that I had to be the one to bring up my insurance coverage instead of them offering it from the beginning and explaining the different options, it was like pulling teeth to get all the information.

Budget was fine. The people we dealt with were nice and generally helpful. The only minus I would give them is that we paid for furniture pads that were not included on the truck. We didn't find this out until after we left the location, so we were out of luck when we packed up. Overall this was not a big deal, and getting the charge removed was no problem.

Budget was a very easy company to work with. The truck worked well, everything fit well, and the ramp made moving things in and out very easy. I also like that they give you unlimited miles! Very helpful. Renting a dolly through them was worth every dollar, too. I would use Budget again!

Budget was OK; the truck was clean but it had no cruise control and a governor (I think) because I could not get it over 75 MPH and that meant that on a hill, my effective speed dropped below the speed limit of 70 MPH. Also they mandated a 3 day rental for a one day trip (Chicago to St. Louis).

Love budget- was given a truck with out A/C- not ideal for a 8 hour transition- and they were great about making sure I was ok with the unfortunate situation, trying their hardest to resolve it before giving it to me and compensating me for having to endure it. Quality service and effort. Will use again.
