Neil was so kind! He made sure we had the vehicle we wanted and genuinely seemed to want us to have a good vacation! I’m not sure the other gentleman’s name that was working as well at 9:00am on 5/13/21 but he was amazing too!! Thank you!!!

Price gouging at its finest. For a three day trip I was quoted $477. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday and Budget was the only rental place open. Final tab ended up at $528.

In my experience with Budget/Avis I would say it is highly recommended by me to any one who needs a vehicle for short or long term. The staff at the Downtown Cincinnati,Ohio location is great! The cars are clean and up to date full of gas and ready to ride! I would like to give a special Thanks!To Michelle For Being Such A Wonderful And Professional Agent! Whom Makes Renting With Budget/Avis Such A Wonderful Experience EveryTime I Reserve A Vehicle At This Location! Thank You Budget For Having Michelle On Your Team!

Staff are very friendly, and personable. The only complaint that I have is the additional charges incur if you have to extend your reservation.

I really am very satisfied with Budget. The staff on 4th St in Cincinnati are top notch -- I am treated well, get in and out quickly and the prices are as good or better than anyone else in the market.

Even though this was not a planned rental, they were fast and easy to get a rental without a 24 hr notice for a reservation. The car that we rented was outstanding, and drove like a dream.

Ive been a loyal business customer of Budget Rent a Car for over a decade main because of the quality of the customer service, location accessibility and vehicle options.

The car I rented was infested with bed bugs. Now my apartment is infested with bed bugs. I work in healthcare and cannot be sleep deprived for my work so I had to get another place to stay until this is all cleared up. Im really unhappy and this is literally thousands of dollars out of my own pocket. Cars should be cleaned and inspected after every use. Unacceptable.

I made my reservation well ahead and got a good deal, then got an upgrade to a premium vehicle for the same price.

The only reason is because after I rented the vehicle I realized the mirage was limited to 600 miles and it was .22 cents per mile thereafter. Besides that it was great.

Amazing and Easy. After being turned down by Enterprise due to not having a credit card on hand but after using them before for years and having reservations for 6 months Budget came through with a nice car and friendly service! I will definitely rent here from now on when I come home. THANK YOU!!!!

I felt welcome immediately by Donna. She quickly put me into a car and had me on on my way. The car was clean and it ran smoothly. The return was easy and once again Donna made the experience pleasant. Budget should use this office as a training facility.

DO NOT USE THIS CAR RENTAL SERVICE!! I would put zero stars if it allowed me. I have never had such an unpleasant experience with any member of the service industry than I did with “Neal” at the front desk. ncredibly rude who is as UNHELPFUL as possible.

I had a great experience with Budget. I had an emergency on a Friday morning, that required me to rent a car for a week. I was able to secure a reservation online, and had the car within an hour, at a reasonable rate.When I was able to return the car after only 5 days, I found that the return process was easy, and I was given a credit for the rental time not used. The staff was very courteous during both the pickup and the return.Nothing spectacular, except for the fact that they helped me out on very short notice (one hour, on a Friday!). I would rent from Budget again, and I hope and expect that you will have a similar experience.

Had a great experience renting from Budget. The staff was very friendly, the reservation process, pick-up of rented vehicle, and drop-off all went very smoothly....no hassles or problems at all. Even if you need to extend on your original agreement, the staff are very friendly and courteous working with you on this. Great experience I had renting from Budget.

Review №43

I believe the dude with the accent pulled some racist ish with my reservation/rental. After my car was PREPAID online he requested an additional $100 deposit that was NEVER stated while making my online reservation. Then CLAIMS he ran a credit check and my credit score wasnt high enough and its a 632??? Im confused. I will never cater to that budget car rental again.

Review №45

Rented a car from Budget and their system allowed agents to overbook 200 cars. Thus all Budget rental car locations had to wait hours to get cars to their customers.On the plus side, customer service was superb due to Brian. A lesser worker would have quit that day due to the stress and being cursed out by customers, but he is a trooper. Brian went above and beyond with helping us getting a car ASAP. He called me back every 30-45 minutes and left a voicemail if I didn’t answer. I personally think he should get overtime pay for the outstanding job he did that day.

Review №47

Had the worst experience dealing with Budget customer service on the phone. I spent 3 hours making and paying for the reservation on the phone. This was done to make sure that there would be no problems. When I went to pick up the car, I was told I was not eligible to rent a vehicle. I was told this after the three hours on the phone the week before and after I paid for the reservation. So after being rejected to rent, I was told it would be 7 days before I could get my 200$ refunded. I would recommend never paying for the reservation ahead of time. I was stranded on the weekend without transportation. Horrible business policies. If I could give negative stars I would have.

GREAT experience! Rented twice and the guys who run that office are easy going. Needed my rental for an extra 5 days and it was no problem. Plus, they are flexible about pickup and drop off times. Will definitely return to this location for every business trip.Tried Enterprise on 5th St and will absolutely never go back there again. Very rude and unprofessional.

Review №52

I have rented here twice and so far the service has been excellent. I get a great discount through USAA and can use their weekly discount promotion. The location is perfect as I live not too far and can take a bus to pick up and after I drop off. I will see how the service and availability of cars are once the sport season start and more people are in town.

Review №59

Update: They refunded the days I did not use. I appreciate their help.Folks working the desk were great. This is more for the corporate customer service portion of the company. I picked up a rental on Monday and was scheduled to have it for a week while my car was in the body shop. The body shop finished early and I was able to pick up my car this morning. I returned the rental and was told since I booked through Fastbreak that my rate couldnt be pro-rated by the desk folks. They told me to call customer service. I called customer service and they said since it was Fastbreak theres no pro-rating or refunds if you return it early. This is the first time Ive rented through Budget and will not be using them again. For a first time customer itd be nice to issue the pro-rated refund and let me know that it wont be issued again if I return a vehicle early when booked through Fastbreak.

Rented a car at Boston airport in July to drive up to Main. At the rental desk I was never told about the Toll device hanging from the rear view mirror, how it worked or the charges related to its use. After driving for some time we noticed the device and used it for two tolls. A month later I received two charges on my credit card for its use. A total of about $15.00 . I am sure I could have paid the tolls for a lot less by paying at the toll both. I called the phone number on my credit card and was told most of the charge was a convenience fee for using the device. Since this was not explained at the desk at time of rental I thought this was included in the rental. I am not happy about this hidden charge. I am sure it is just another money maker for Budget and will think twice before renting from Budget again.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. NEVER RENT FROM HERE. I had a last minute emergency that I needed a car to drive to Michigan and made a quick reservation but wasnt able to get there until just about as they were closing. As I got in, the man told me his computer was already shut down and he couldnt give me my car. I stood their crying in the store explaining my situation and he still would not let me get my reservation. Instead I had to stand outside in the 7 degree weather and call the central line to figure out how to transfer my reservation and the only place that was open at that point was the airport. I had to pay for a cab to get there just to pick up the car. Horrible customer service and no business sense.

I wish I had read the reviews before I rented! I called in advance and asked if they had drop off options since they are only open until 1 pm on the weekend. I was given very helpful and polite instructions on how that could be achieved. What the employee DIDNT tell me was that they do not take into account the time in which you dropped the vehicle off. Theres a parking ticket machine at the door but they do not honor the time. They charged me a full additional day ($90 additional) and was not willing to honor the time the vehicle was dropped off (only 1.5 hours after closing). I will never rent with this company again. I should have gone to the airport and rented with National under our company policy. #PGemp
