I booked online using Budget's site. When I picked up the truck I had a small wait but the truck was in expected condition. Budget was the best price for me (in part due to a membership discount in connection with team national). Truck was slightly beat up (several deep scratches, slight rusting) and the dolly that I rented had torn/short straps. it ended up working great and they worked with me when I had to drop off my truck at a diffrent location. Yes, I used them twice for moving to a storage and then again after moving out.

the customer service at the pickup location was not very good. I received no instruction on the operation of the truck, rear door, or ramp. Booking was easy online. I used Budget because they were the cheapest. The trailer was in ok condition, the outside was pretty scratched up, the inside was fine. I doubt that I would use them again.

The company was great to work with. The passenger side mirror was broken so was unuseable during my 600 mile journey, this was not discovered until the truck was loaded. I would use them again thought just being careful more weary of the vehicle being used.

I can't believe how phenomenal Monae Movers were. It was a last minute need on Labor Day weekend.... They called me within five minutes of my request and they got over to my house within two hours. They somehow got our furniture finished loaded and then unloaded within two hours (that had taken my fiancé and I four hours to start loading). Highly recommended for their flexibility and hard work!!! Not a thing scratched and not ridiculously priced! Plan on calling them again when I move my house out of storage. Thanks again guys!

The Budget rental office in Escondido was a pretty poor experience. The employee enjoyed talking about blowing people away with ak47's and put a customer calling with a complaint on speaker while finishing our paperwork--not respectful at all to either us or the elderly gentleman on the phone who had a legitimate complaint. That Budget employee should be terminated. The Budget Eugene office was much better when we returned the trucks and trailer. All in all, we probably won't use Budget again.

Everett reached out to let me know the original crew had car troubles and he was coming in person to get my job completed. That delay meant the packing job started about an hour later than scheduled. However his team worked diligently and packed my truck carefully ensuring none of my fragile glassware, mirrors, or TV were damaged during the process or in transit. And they packed it superbly. Most of my furniture is non-square so it doesn't stack or sit in corners well, and Everett ensured everything fit and was tied securely. So thankful to have skilled packers on the job!

They showed up early, did a great job of padding and wrapping the furniture for protection, and very professionally loaded the truck and tied everything firmly in place. These guys are experienced movers! They finished early and insisted on helping to box our lamps, which they made sure were well-protected. I highly, highly recommend them!

I usually use Budget Truck because there is a location very close. The total cost of the rental was $100 instead of $50 because I ended up keeping it overnight. The people were polite and friendly. The truck was, well, a moving truck. It did it's job well, and we returned it without a problem.

Fine until I returned the truck to Sexton's Auto Sales on Capitol Blvd. in Raleigh. The guy there ( didn't get his name) was the meanest, rudest person I have ever met in my entire life. I had filled up the truck to the best of my ability, until the gas hose clicked, and he practically cussed me out, saying I did it on purpose and was trying to cheat him. He charged me for more gas and a 30.00 fee on top of that. I haven't looked at my bank statement yet to see how much more gas he supposedly put in, but there was nothing I could do, he had my credit card on file from renting the truck. I called the company to complain and was told that there was nothing they could do about it.

Budget Rental opened early to get my truck to me on a busy Sat. They were polite and efficient. I gave them 4 stars only because the truck required sweeping out before loading. We have not completed our trip. I am hoping the truck performs well on the road. It seems to be in good condition, but it is a bit rough riding - but hey, it's a truck (16').

The owner of the Budget Rental place transposed the last few numbers of my mileage and debited my card almost $50 in excess of what it should have cost. I didn't notice until that night so another trip had to be made back to get them to refund the over-charge. Not a good move after only one of the two movers from HireaHelper showed and I had to help move a washer and other heavy objects down stairs and out to the truck.

The two gentlemen that came to our apartment to help us unpack our truck were amazing. They worked so hard for us, unloading our belongings and bringing them up two flights of stairs. It was hot, humid, and painful but they got it done, quickly and efficiently. They also were very polite and respectful. We genuinely enjoyed their company. If it wasn't for them, we would have been at it all night and possibly into the next day. We would absolutely recommend them again and if we ever need this kind of help in the future, I hope we get them.

The truck was available on a short notice it was a 24 feet truck but it was rruly old and and had about 147K miles on it, it was very loud and shakey and uncomfortable for such a long trip maybe because it is a large truck but I saw in other companies newer same size trucks

We had a brand new Budget rental truck. The size was 16'. We lived in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1200 square foot apartment with 2 little storages on the outside. The size of the truck would have been fine if I was able to throw away more things and pack a little bit better, but due to the time constraints of the move (we had a week to move due to start dates of our jobs) we ended up having to get a trailer to pull in the back of the rental. The truck was great, no problems on our 1200 mile trek. The customer service at both locations was great as well. They made sure we had all the information we needed. We choose Budget because it was a lot cheaper than the other rental companies. We would definitely use Budget again.
