    Quite happy with the service. The staff has been helpful, patient and fast to get us moving, despite the ancient Avis/Budget backbone. The cars are modern and in good repair. They're not squeaky clean, but this is a no frills office with pricing to match.<br><br>I ended up here once by accident after a different location had overbooked us and it turned out to be a happy accident. I've done 5 rentals here over the past year, all of which went smoothly.

    I've rented cars from this facility twice already, and had a great experience both times. The service is fast, location is convenient, cars were clean and new, and it's easy to precheck online. No complains so far!

    It took us 1 hr to get a car. Horrible experience. Only 1 person working.

    Horrible experience at Avis/Budget, as always. The car smelled like vomit, and when I pointed it out, the associate claimed it was "just Lysol." The interior was dirty and they just wasted my time. Don't waste your money. Go to Enterprise!

    Very disappointing experience with Budget Car Rental. I made a reservation three days in advance, but when I arrived for pickup, they told me my reservation was cancelled. I never cancelled it and did not receive any email or notification about it, even after checking my inbox and spam folder. Because of this, all my plans were disrupted, and they also had no cars available or alternative options. Booking in advance should mean something this was very frustrating and unprofessional.

    Hello <br> <br>I am sorry that we did not have a car for your reservation. Please email us at socialinfo@budgetgroup.com with your reservation number, as well as the name on the reservation and email address, and we would be happy to look into this situation for you. Please be sure to attach your complaint to the email and mention case#100910 as well . Did you rent with another car company or from another location? <br> <br> Thanks <br> <br>Blake
