Budget was fine. The people we dealt with were nice and generally helpful. The only minus I would give them is that we paid for furniture pads that were not included on the truck. We didn't find this out until after we left the location, so we were out of luck when we packed up. Overall this was not a big deal, and getting the charge removed was no problem.

Budget was a very easy company to work with. The truck worked well, everything fit well, and the ramp made moving things in and out very easy. I also like that they give you unlimited miles! Very helpful. Renting a dolly through them was worth every dollar, too. I would use Budget again!

Budget was OK; the truck was clean but it had no cruise control and a governor (I think) because I could not get it over 75 MPH and that meant that on a hill, my effective speed dropped below the speed limit of 70 MPH. Also they mandated a 3 day rental for a one day trip (Chicago to St. Louis).

The Budget truck was poorly maintained. AC was not working. The right headlight was pointing into the ditch. No windshield washer fluid. Out of balance tires. The truck should never have been allowed on the road.

Love budget- was given a truck with out A/C- not ideal for a 8 hour transition- and they were great about making sure I was ok with the unfortunate situation, trying their hardest to resolve it before giving it to me and compensating me for having to endure it. Quality service and effort. Will use again.

Budget was a nightmare, the first truck I got broke down and it took them 3 hours to get back to me and get a mechanic there then he could not fix it so waited another 4 hours for them to send a second truck, it finally got there and was full of water and still leaking ( heavy rain all that day) so by time they got the 3rd truck there and moving men to transfer the load from truck number one it was a 16 hour delay and I had 1100 miles left of the trip and movers booked at the other end to unload. NIGHTMARE I would not rent a Budget truck again their equipment is old, not maintained, and awful and customer service didn't really care we were sitting in a truck at a gas station all day.

Well we arrived at the pick-up location for the truck the owner was not there and his helper was not prepared to handle the paper work. We had to wait for the owner to arrive which put us behind schedule about an hour. The first truck they tried to give us was dirty and wet on the inside and had a lot of outside damage. They did give us a better truck when we asked. Not to bad of an experience all together.

The truck was great, clean and ran well and did not use a lot of gas. The "store" where we picked it up was a disaster. I had a reservation for 8:30 for the truck and arrived at 8:15. It was obvious that they had had a lot of trucks returned Sunday night. The parking lot was packed and the lady that worked in the office was running around like a chicken without a head. End of story I finally got out with my truck at 9:15, the movers arrived at 9:00 so I paid for 1/2 hour that they sat waiting for me to arrive with the truck. If I owned that Store I would make sure that someone arrive early to unscramble the mess of trucks that were dropped off during the night so that we could be ready to service customers in a timely and friendly manner when they arrived.

I first selected Budget Truck because of its link with Hire-A-Helper. The truck rental was pricey, compared to others, but the mechanical condition and cleanliness of the vehicle was worth it. The pick-up and drop-off location was convenient for me and the customer service was fine, except for an apparent computer glitch in transferring my electronic reservation to the provider, which delayed the pick-up due to information needing to be re-entered into the system. The truck size estimator was a great help. I had more boxes than anticipated but was grateful that I didn't skimp on calculating the furniture pieces to be moved. I would use Budget Truck, again, because of the condition and reliability of the vehicle.

The budget truck rental place I returned my truck to in Boulder was great but the man who owned the Budget in Arlington was a complete jerk and didn't even get us our moving blunts, lied to use about our bill and also insulted my husband after he asked a simple question. I will never use Budget again from my negative experience in Arlington.

The vehicle I was given needed an alignment and when I tried to fill the gas tank before returning the vehicle the gas cap would not open. The drop-off Budget Rental Representative told me the gas cap was not the appropriate cap for a GM truck. Basically, someone lost the original cap and replaced it with one that did not fit the particular truck. The cost to rent this truck was definitely not worth the money. I was charged for a certain number of miles whether I used the maximum miles allowed or not and even though I returned the truck earlier than planned the cost remained the same. The pick-up Budget Representative specifically told me I would need to top off the gas because the needle in the truck would not register a full tank otherwise and I would be charged for not filling up the tank. When I did this I ended up spilling gas on the ground. Basically, more money down the drain because of this rental. I do not plan to use Budget Truck Rental in the future.

Total disaster - extremely disappointed. Despite reserving truck 6 weeks in advance (on-line), calling 3 days in advance to confirm and then again the night before to confirm at the specific location we were supposed to pick up the truck - the truck was UNAVAILABLE the morning we went to pick it up (with the clock starting on 3 professional movers in an hour:-( ...) They could not find us a truck anywhere within a 30 mile radius (we live in a large city) and told us that our reservation only guaranteed a rate, not a truck. Nothing was done to help. We got on the phone and found a truck at UHaul (where we should have gone in the first place) The truck was 40% less expensive and they were professional and prepared - the truck was clean and well-maintained. Happy ending without any help from Budget - save yourself a headache and go to UHaul first.
