Don’t like the electric car and was told it only took about twenty minutes to charge it up but in fact took about an hour and a half to charge. Also, most charging stations were out of order. I will never rent another electric car.

Bad from the start. Checked in and had to provide card used for booking. Since it was booked online through apple pay, no card was used. I was forced to call customer service to change the card although it was pre-paid. This caused a 15 minute delay. Then when I went back to the counter, after checking me in, they said the car would be ready in 40 minutes at 2:40. My check in was 1:30. Of course they offered that if I paid for an upgrade it would be ready now. Scam.

A one day rental is over priced for a compact vehicle. Pick up took over 1 hr. Drop off: closed upon scheduled arrival time at 2pm and had to wait over 35min for the office to open (20+min more than the sign said on the door), which is ridiculous bc it was still unannounced since the scheduled time was 2pm. Basically causing delays of almost 23rd in our plans. Not professional or acceptable to repeat business with Budget

Worst experience ever. Our vehicle was to be rented from Long Beach airport. Once i got the another enterprise they gave a SUV which definitely needed service. Every time i brakes or turned the steering it made some abnormal noise from the right rear. Very hazardous. Would not recommend this place nor their vehicles. Also, When i first enter there office one of the staff member was arguing of the customer on the phone for over charges.

I had to wait almost 1 hour for my vehicle, offered a lower class vehicle for the same rate, cost to insure the vehicle is very high and I had to search for the manager because the employee would not call him. The good news is that the manager comp me for some of the rental fees.
