It is nice that the rental agency is close to airport. However, on a Saturday, there was no choice except a 10min walk from baggage to the rental counter. Burbank manages this by having you cross the street and having you take an escalator/elevator and walk on an elevated walkway that has a good portion of it shortened by a series of 3 moving walkways.On my way back to the airport, I found the signs for budget return non-existent and had to backtrack. Ultimately, I went down the Avis return line. The agent admitted that signage is poor and management has not done anything about it. One of the moving walkways was not moving and although it is a nice shaded walk, carrying a lot of luggage for a 10min walk was cumbersome.

Good service and good car, but the windshield wipers needed to be changed a LONG time ago and it was incredibly dangerous and scary to drive (of course I happened to rent during Californias first major storm in years, which additionally lasted the duration of my booking). In addition to the car I rented needing new wipers, I recommend these things be checked before renting to clients. Other than that I was happy with how simple it was to change my reservation which I did multiple times and all employees were kind and professional. Thanks!

Dont rent from Budget. They are poorly understaffed and we had to wait in line for 1hr 45 minutes to be helped at the counter just to pick up our car. The check-in lady was not friendly not apologetic for the super long wait in a hot waiting room. There was only one person for all the customers checking in for both Avis and Budget, terrible management. Also, the cars gas tank was not full when we were given the car, it was only 3/4 full. On a car with a 16 gallon tank this is 4 gallons and in CA at $7+/gallon they should have refunded me ~$30 but they refunded me $12 instead after verbally saying they would refund appropriately.

My husband and I were returning our rental car to Fox, and they had no shuttle service to catch our flight back home. We are elderly, and the walk from the airport to the car rental had about done us in when we arrived a week ago. As we trudged to the elevators a smiling middle aged man in a Budget Uniform asked if he could help us. We asked if they had a shuttle , and he offered to take us. He would not take a tip, he just helped us and was so gracious. His name was Brian, (middle aged Asian man, sorry did not ask for a last name). Budget has customers for life due to this kind mans actions. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Burbank Airport 010622Outstanding service and friendly knowledgeable staff. Our vehicle had 1% oil left b4 next oil change. Budget staff Oscar and team quickly went into action and got us a quality and serviceable vehicle 👌 👏. Ive used Budget on other occasions and they are always ready and willing to serve. There is a long walk to the rental vehicle Area however the 6 min walk is good exercise. (Burbank airport) I rented online fast and easy utilized Fast track at desk pick up, it was faster than standing in line. Walked up picked up keys and contract and was out da door within 2 minutes, until 1% oil car. However that was quickly resolved. Vehicle #2 was clean and in serviceable condition. I always do my own walk-around inspections and always take pictures of defects and note them on the contract!!!Will continue to utilize Budget!!!W2kbob.

I turned to BUDGET rental after a car accident recently-they had been my go to agency for years. I was in need of a economy rental to last until major repairs could be done. When I reserved the rental online I prepaid for a few days (inc fees) and was explained the per day rate if I needed to extend. With rental rates currently, I was very conscious of the fact that it was a hefty daily rate. When extending my rental using the automated phone system it had charged me a full extra day rental that I did not notice until the next day. (even though my return date was recorded as only 1 extra day). When I spoke to a person via the automated directory the following morning they stated they saw the additional charge but there was nothing they could do, they suggested I speak to customer service at the counter upon check in unless I wanted to extend my rental the extra day since I had already been charged, so I had them extend the return date 1 more day understanding there was a $10 fee. The extension was confirmed, then I received an alert another charge had come through. At this time I had now been pre-charged again for an extra day. I called back and spoke to several different online service reps who all told me that I couldnt do anything until I returned the vehicle and then it was a maybe that I might receive a credit. I had been pre-charged the amount as well, so upon returning the vehicle, the clerk who checked me in said the best they might be able to do is a $25 credit towards a future rental but that they could not authorize that -I had to speak to someone from customer service. So here I am in the red a full days rental penalized to me due to an error in their automated system and with 0 help from any person I spoke with. It seems BUDGET, once they had my money, did not care to actually recognize the person behind the rental. It is saddening that you were my default rental company for all my travel previously and the complete lack of service in this rental experience is just been too much.

I reserved a car offered at the website, which when I arrived to the airport they didnt have it. The attendant give me whatever he want it to and he was very unhelpful. The car I used the AC didnt cool down which make it very uncomfortable. The receipt they send over the email couldnt be seen or read because it came out in blank and I request another one which i come out the same. In addition I left my sunglasses in the rental and Ive been trying to reach out via phone to the office where I rent the car unsuccessfully and I open I lost and found case where until now I havent received an answer or reply since two days ago! Horrible experience.

Ok, if I were rating the staff, I would give them five stars. The agent at the desk was polite and meant well. And the staff member when I returned the car was both friendly and helpful. However, I was here to rent a car ...and in regards to their cars...well I wont use Budget again.Like other agencies, Budgets cars are handed over to the customer dirty. Extra filthy, truthfully. There is no pretense of cleanliness, no wipes for the customer...nothing. Additionally, it dawned on me as I was first driving off with the car, that there was no walk around by an agent before handing me the keys. So, I feel real lucky that the two dings I later noticed near the roof line were already showing rust which would clear me from any suspicion upon returning the vehicle. The vehicle itself sounded in need of TLC; a loud and persistent howling noise came from the rear while driving on the freeway. I couldnt see anything obvious when I inspected the car, but the sound was not normal. And there was a funky odor inside.When I returned the vehicle, the staff member handling the check-in informed me they stopped walk around inspections five years ago. Ok, but someone should make it clear to customers that they are responsible for their own inspections. Anyway, while the rental handled my commute for the couple days, I will not rent through Budget again.

The pop-up ad on the Budget website says that as a new customer, I should receive 30% off as a new customer to gives an email address. I did not get 30% off. False advertising.The agent did not ask me about coverage, and told me that I should read the information for myself. I think that it is against the law for a rental company not to verbally explain coverage. At least that is the case in Colorado; I rented in California. Also, the pop-up ad on the Budget website says that as a new customer, I should receive 30% off as a new customer to gives an email address. I did not get 30% off. False advertising.
