The truck cab was extremely uncomfortable and the rental company was actually a gas station drop off, which by the time you get helped it's an hour later or more.

Good service on both sides of a 1 way move. The truck was well maintained but beginning to show a little age (just under 100K miles). I bounced around a lot when empty, once we got the load in it settled down and drove pretty well.

Not sure why but the agent gave me the oldest truck on his lot! It was filthy inside with a layer of dirt & leaves as though the previous renter had moved trees & branches. The drivers seat was completely worn through in the back so I was sitting on a metal bar. It ran OK and fortunately I only had to drive it less than 20 miles total so once I swept it out myself it worked out ok. I’ve had better trucks from Budget in the past so hopefully this was just an anomaly

Reserved a truck 3 days in advance and when I arrived at the location to pick up my truck they told me they were all sold out. Called the corporate number who told me to drive 2+ hours to pick up another one and did not offer any type of compensation for the inconvenience. Told them to cancel my order & I went with Penske, MUCH BETTER customer service, same price and SUPER accommodating to my short time frame.

Truck did the job, but was pretty dirty inside and out. Certainly wasn't charged for anything, and realize it's a moving truck after all, but maybe could have been wiped down just a little?

Normally, I have a great experience with budget. This time the truck was filthy and had a few minor dings, transmission issues going up hill, and they didn't have the truck and trailer ready on reservation date. The customer service was nice and their inventory management team helped out to locate the trailer closer to me for pick up. Although the truck sucked, the people made it a little better.

There were just things we weren't aware of; like the $300 hold on our credit card. The staff was nice and polite as we scrambled for things we didn't know we were required to have (we changed to a debit card and then they needed a bill in my husband's name)

By far the cheapest truck rental I could find for a one-way trip. My truck was not ready for pickup at the scheduled pickup time. I called customer service and they offered to find the same truck nearby, but the original truck arrived while I was waiting for customer service. The truck was handed to me very dirty, probably because they didn't want it to be later than it already was. I made my trip from southern California to Oregon, but I wish the windshield wipers had worked better, it was hard to see at times. At the end of my transaction, I was compensated for the truck being late at pickup, so that was nice.

The truck I rented was filthy on the outside, many dents, dings, and scapes and the windows could hardly be seen through. We had to stop early in our trip to buy window wipes to clean the interior of the windows. The center jump seat did not move all the way back or lay down which prevented us from carrying a cooler and snack bags with any comfort. The weatherstripping around the windows was not in good shape which made our entire 900-mile trip very noisy. We had to basically yell to each other over the top of the bags and cooler blocking our sight of each other. There was no floor space to put anything. The woman at the booking company was very nice and helpful. Use Budget because they offered an AARP discount. Would I use them again? Only if I had a selection of trucks to choose from to get the cleanest and least noisy.

Truck was disgusting at pick up and there were damages on the rental. I work for Enterprise and would never rent out a vehicle in such condition. I was miserable driving 15 hours with the condition the truck was in. The Budget agent did not leave the desk to show us any features of the truck or make sure we were comfortable before pulling off the lot.

They gave me a truck in which the door didn't close. I have pictures and video to prove it. Driving down the highway, the door would rattle like it were going to swing open. Terrifying. The cab was dirty and smelled like cigarettes, even found a cigarette in the ash tray. I called and they only gave me a $175 refund which I thought was not enough. When I first called, they offered me $60 and said they could go now higher, then after some argument, it went up to $75, then after speaking to a manager it went up to $175. If it couldn't go any higher, how did it go up each time I talked to someone new? If I would have gotten hurt, there would be a lawsuit. Shameful. Should have been at least 50% off.

I had a terrible experience with Budget. I made a reservation for a 26ft truck. A week in advance. I was notified the day before the move. The truck wouldn’t be available. After finally finding me a 16 ft truck. Which was not large enough for my move. It broke down 3 times. I was compensated 150 extra miles. Which I did not need. I think I should have been compensated for this truck period. Or some type of discount. I will never used their trucks again! Kay T Galveston, Tx

We had ordered a 16 foot truck with ramp. When we went to pick it up a 16 footer was not available and we didn't have the time to wait or travel to another site. Thankfully, they did have another 26 foot at the same price. It would only do 65 mph and I don't know how much more it cost in gas. But it drove well and carried everything we needed. They are on their way to drop off the vehicle now. Hopefully without incident that would change my review.

I went with Budget for this move since they were the cheapest- I usually do Uhaul. The truck was a lot older and had more miles than the ones I get from Uhaul, and of course doesn't have the lower loading decks. It did the job though, and it was just a little more expensive than I expected because I had to put a few extra miles on it!

Picking up the van went smoothly and quickly. The van had more available room to load our items that we thought it would. Considering that the van did not have 4-wheel or front-wheel drive, it did a fair job getting up our steep, snow-packed mountain road.
