The truck worked great! The rental location was a little chaotic, and I had to stand in line for about 35 minutes, even tough I had reserved & paid for the truck online. I am a huge fan of the Lift gate that this truck had, instead of the ramp that are on other trucks (Uhaul).

Everthing about the truck was fine, the pick location was the problem. Kemp Mill Beer Wine and Deli at 1339 Lamberton Dr. Silver Spring, Maryland 20902. I would never have used them if I had seen reviews. They were a over a half hour later to open and our scheduled pick up time. When they did show the reasoning was that we might be late. When I informed them I would be contacting Budget he told me to go ahead, do you know how much money I make. He might be right, but I hope the entire company does not operate like this rental office.

They didn't have the truck we ordered, the truck they provided was dirty and had non-operating back-up lights. Because they gave me a bigger truck, I had to pay for insurance that otherwise would have been covered. Customer service was terrible.

Good, clean truck full of gas. There were things missing that were reserved (like furniture pads or a dolly) which I reported to customer service just after pick-up. No hassle in getting a refund, but I had to call twice: once to report the missing items and once to request the refund. Partly my fault, I should have checked at pickup...

The truck was in fine condition and reasonably comfortable to drive. My only complaint is that we had the truck reserved weeks in advance, but when we arrived our 10' truck had been vandalized the night before so we were forced to drive further to another Budget location. I think we should have been notified that our truck was no longer available. The Budget office also would not pick up their phone or call us back. Overall, the move worked out, but it was poor business not to call a customer back or notify them that their truck would not be available.

Pleasant people at the original location, but the lack of the moving blankets I'd reserved and paid for had me waiting, then driving the truck half an hour across town, then waiting another half-hour to get them, and then driving back. Meanwhile, my moving crew were waiting.

I rented a budget truck in Baltimore, MD. Truck was very old and felt like it had no shocks. At one point I actually jumped out of my seat when I went over a bump. Unfortunately I lost the truck key during the commotion of the move and the rental location didn't have an extra key. The locksmith had difficulty making another key because the ignition shaft was worn. The locksmith had to fix the ignition in order to make a new key. Fortunately Budget did pay to redo the ignition but the experience was AWFUL!!! When I returned the truck to a location New Brunswick, NJ the rental agent laughed when he saw the condition of the truck and said his customers would never accept a truck in that condition,

Booking was easy and done on line. Customer service at pick up was excellent. Price was a little better. Truck condition would have been better. Truck had a lot of mileage. Selected Budget because they could confirm availability. Other companies could not confirm. Yes would use them again.

Overall, there were only problems with the car carrier not fitting the tires easily, and noisy ratchet devices and ramps that we had to apply our own WD-40 on, so that they would operate easier and without noise. The car carrier should have been serviced BEFORE renting it.

My experience was average in every way. Booking the truck (a 24-ft. truck) was easy by phone and it was ready for pick-up on the scheduled date. The locationn was small and my final on-site paperwork had to be done in a garage (off an old-fashioned dot-matrix printer which took twice as long to print). The truck itself was in average condition, certainly far from new and with no accessories (like a cup holder). However, it did what it needed to do and I turned it in a day early (though I did not receive any credit for that).

We booked budget because we changed our moved date and uhaul was no longer available on that date. We showed up for our truck on a Saturday at that time we said and there was no truck available. The employee acted like this was normal. I had to change my hired help again. The truck was still not there the following day. My hired help was on hold waiting for us to get a truck. They offered us 2 smaller trucks( diff locations) but we did not have enough drivers(they didn't have a car dolly). We had to make a 5 hour roundtrip drive just to pick up an available truck. My hired help was great and showed up after their other scheduled job. Dropping off the truck was fine. Have dealt with the drop off location before.

I booked online and the process was easy. Then it went downhill. We were able to book online for a holiday, but they are not open on the holiday we booked for. I had not heard from them so I called 2 days prior to confirm that there would be a truck for me. I was then told that they were not open and they I couldn't get the truck when I wanted. Why was I able to book online? Why didn't anyone call when the booking came through? This was very poor customer service. Price was reasonable and condition of the truck was average. I would only use them again because they are the most competitively priced, but I will DOUBLE check that they are open on the day I want my truck.

-It was very easy to book the truck online. Very convenient and the website was very easy to follow. -Customer service was exceptional. -The price was the lowest compared to other sites. -Condition of truck was superb. -We selected this company for location and pricing. -Yes *The only problem we experienced was ordering furniture pads and they were not able to get the amount we ordered. We received a call the day before we were to move. Since we booked the truck a month in advance, it was very frustrating because I had to deal with the problem that morning and it was very stressful.

We will never use them again!The truck we reserved was not available when we went to get it and therefore my movers had to stand around helping just bring things to the door instead of loading the truck. we got the truck three hours later than promised and we had to drive out of our way to pick the truck up. There was suppose to be moving blankets in the truck and there were none so we had to drive all the way back to the location to pick up the moving blankets mean while it has started storming! If the truck And items we payed for would have been on time the big furniture would have already been in the truck instead of wet in the driveway. Needless to say we were very unhappy with Budget and won't be using them again. The inside of the truck was very dirty and the check engine light was on. When we called customer service they were very unhelpful saying things like what is it you want us to do about it now? We booked this online and made phone calls to Budget many times to make sure all the equipment was going to be available to us at that time. We Chose this company because they had the best price and locations for what we needed.

Terrible. We chose the company based on cost showed in the online reservation. First, they didn't have the truck we reserved, only a much smaller one (24 foot down to 16..come on, it's moving day!!!). Then the local Budget store operator ended up charging us for the 24 foot truck and not the 16 foot truck we were given. Then calling the central help line over the phone for a partial refund was completely futile; they refused to help. I emailed a detailed description of what happened and how much we were owed, submitting the online reservation form and our receipt. They refused to help. Terrible service and terrible prices.
