Absolutely horrible experience. We called the week prior to confirm that they would be open, as our flight got in at 9:30PM.

Beware! Fraudulent damage claim letter sent despite none. Also they tried to swindle me like in Nate Hinton review. Fight letter and do not pay. This has happened to another person by Budget on another unrelated rental. I believe this is a tactic by Budget. Search Reddit for other instances of these "letters" sent out by Budget.

Bad experience. First, the first customer service agent talked a mile a minute and was not friendly. The boss on site was more helpful and tried. They wouldn’t run my rental on the card I booked on. They have policies about having a flight even if you are renting a car at the facility and not flying. Not practical given there are not a lot of options in Goleta. What is more, I rented a Tesla to go to work and there was no charger in the car or adapter rendering me at work unable to charge to return. Called the phone number f... read more
