I added to my reservation several times and they always accommodated. They also found us a car carrier at the last minute when we decided to trailer one of our cars. Make sure to change your address with USPS first to get the 20% discount coupon with Budget. We also added 3 dozen moving blankets. They aren't the highest quality, but they worked!

Everything went fine except for a few small complaints - a broken tail pipe on the truck we received, a bit of attitude from the clerks at both the pickup and dropoff space (although they ultimately were accommodating, and one person at the other end was especially helpful). But in general everything behaved the way it needed to. My biggest complaint is that I wish Budget offered a greater range of truck sizes. The 16-foot truck we got was far too big, but the next size down, 10-foot, would likely have been too small.

I used Budget b/c I received a discount with them just for using HireAHelper. I am glad I used them though b/c the guys at the shop where I picked it up were very kind, courteous and knowledgeable about their trucks. They took the time to talk to me about my options and the type of move I was doing. When I arrived they had the truck waiting for me and it was in good condition. I have no complaints. I would use Budge again and I recommend them to anyone moving.

Budget in Arlington is the most horrible vendor I've ever dealt with in the DC area. The owner insulted my husband and belittled him after he asked a simple question about how the car carrier worked. Even though I ordered my truck and moving blankets a month before my move, they failed to provide them and then lied to me and told me they were not on my order whereas I have an email proving differently. I'm going to write a more detailed review and plan to post it on every major review site (which I've never done before) because my experience with Budget in Arlington was so disappointing and frustrating.

I reserved my truck based on the size Budget suggested on their website. Unfortunately, I think they only base it on furniture and not the amount of boxes filled with the items that come out of the closets and dressers. I should have ordered larger than a 16' for a 2 bedroom apartment. The price was the best on the website and customer service gave me an additional 10% discount for using Budget.

The guy at Budget was rude. No one was in the office when we went to puck up the truck, sign on door said "went to lunch, be back between 1 and 1:30" I had scheduled a return for 1:00 on Sunday and asked about their Sunday hours and was told I better be there before 1:00 because they lock the door and won't help if you get there at 1:00. Overall, the guy had attitude as soon as he walked in the door from lunch...customer service was nonexistent! He never walked us to the truck and told us the wrong location of the truck so we were walking all over looking for the truck. When we did find the truck it was dirty inside, the previous renter had spilled something and left trash in the truck. I will never rent from Budget again

My truck had serious transmission problems after I drove it " looked like it was there for awhile. Apparently the seal finally went on my drive. Should have been caught with maintenance in my opinion. While the Budget Roadside Emergency Service people were great, it took 6 additional hours to finally get on the road. I was stuck 140 miles from home and it was hot. Budget did send some men to offload the bad truck and load the replacement truck. I might use Budget again, but not the provided I rented from this time.

Very bad experience - truck developed a serious transmission problem on the was to the storage company. It was switching gears funny as I left the rental center, but I though it was just the way a diesel truck accelerated. Had to call emergency road side service while in Deerfield Beach( drove over from Naples FL). Sent a diesel mechanic who said the transmission fluid was empty and truck not changing gears properly. Waited SIX HOURS on a very hot day for a replacement truck, after a supervisor decided not to tow the broken truck with my possession on board.. All roadside assistance representatives were nice and helpful, including sending 2 men to remove my property from the broken truck to the new truck; however the time it took to arrange was absolutely unsatisfactory. I was provided with an extension of the return time to avoid a second day rental charge, removing charge for furniture pads and a 25 mile credit non their .59 cents mileage fee (after they logged the mileage for the replacement truck from its point of origin which added 40 miles to the overall mileage). I was told I could call Customer Service to discuss additional consideration after closing out my rental and paying. I plan to do so.

Unmotivated, lackluster, inexperienced, intentionally slow ("this is a by-the-hour-gig man") and completely thoughtless about the quality of the work. Left empty drink bottles (that we supplied) lying around and in the moving truck. This was the "unload" side of a move - opposite experience with the "loading" movers, which was a very positive experience.

Box truck was not as intimidating as I expected. My husband and I shared the driving. The only thing missing is cruise control which I think would have saved us on gas consumption. I understand from the rental agent where we returned the truck today that this is something that will be included on future trucks. It is a move in environmental awareness that would be much appreciated.

I used u-haul for my last move and their truck and service was very good except that I had to drive an hour to pick up the truck. So I thought that I'd try Budget since they are in Bluefield. Their truck was ok, but I had to wait an hour just to drop off the truck. The manager at the drop off location was unfriendly and at one point raising her voice at both my wife and me. She was so unprofessional that even the trainee who was with the manager told us that she would not work for this company any longer because of this lady. The worse part is that when we called the customer service to complaint about this manager, we were told that they could not contact us for any follow up. I will not use this company again and will not recommend this company to anyone.
