I rented a truck from budget which turned out wasn't conveniently located. When I turned up for the 16ft truck I'd ordered blankets but they said they don't have and never have them. The attitude at the desk was not customer friendly. I should have used U-Haul like I did the last time. The truck was tired, gutless with plenty of dings all over.

I scheduled a 20-24 footer, but when I went to pick up the truck they did not have it, which was not that much of an issue, but they didn't call so I could make other arrangements. I ended up coming back for a second truck.

The 16' rental truck worked well for the size and distance of my move. Unfortunately, the truck was not in great shape and was difficult to drive on the highways. It had a good heater and working radio. Customer service during pickup was aloof, and upon drop off was acceptable. I chose Budget due to a discount code. I would use them again, but I would check the condition of the truck prior to paying/signing.

Asked for a 12 foot truck 10 days prior to a move, confirmed the move 3 days prior to a move, was informed that a 12 footer was not available, but would get a 16 footer for no additional charge. The 16 footer worked, but a bearing was defective, resulting in a disquieting thumping on the road. Also, the transmission was 'soft', and I was pleased to have returned the truck while still moving.

Budget truck rental in Colmar was excellent for a local move. The online booking was easy and exact. It was also the cheapest. The other company's who rent trucks were pricey and their available trucks were questionable for the day of my move. Budget is the only way to go.

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.

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.
