Budget® Reviews
We rented a 12 foot rental truck for a move out of a college apartment online for a specific date and time. When we arrived to pick up the truck, they did not have it and offered to let us use a 26 foot truck! What?! We were never informed that they would not have the truck. We should have received at the very least, a courtesy call to let us know. We rallied and found a truck at Uhaul. Thank goodness they had a truck for us. They actually had what they said they had online.
They mistyped my email address at booking which caused some problems as I did not get a confirmation number. Took a couple more phone calls but they did resolve the issues. Had also ordered pads which were not delivered with the truck so had to rent them from U-Haul at the last minute. Truck was fine and pick-up and drop-off agents were very fast and courteous.
Budget called just before we went to pick up truck to tell us that they did not have a 26' truck that we'd reserved and only had a 16' truck. We had to make 2 trips instead of one, the second trip with no moving help as the HireAHelper workers had another job to go to after one trip. I will not be renting from Budget Truck Rental again. The person at the office did apologize but it was really inconvenient and double the time it should've taken to move.
Horrible experience this was my first time using Budget and they gave me a old truck that broke down multiple times it took me 6 days to get from phx to California, and charged me almost $1000.00 truck was noisy,old,shakes,pulls to the left and the ramp kept coming out of the rear. DO NOT USE BUDGET (WARNING)
We used a 26-foot Budget rental truck for our move along with a car carrier trailer. The truck was in great shape, and everything was operational. We had no issues with this rental. The only call out is the location we picked the truck up at did not have furniture pads or a hand truck. Other than that, the rental truck and process were great.
