Worst rental car place ever. Twice I've rented here, booked an expensive car, they haven't had it, so they tell me they'll give me another lesser car that won't meet my needs. I decided to wait forever to get my car. I think they got one out of storage. It was dirty, worn, ran terrible. I know Fords are crappy cars to begin with, but this was just trash. Terrible management, terrible service

He assured me 3 times that they would increase the rental after 30 days. Now I am stuck because he did not extend the reservation, the call center ... read more

Worst car rental experience I’ve ever had! 1. On 1/22/26, despite having prepaid the full 156.86, Budget staff at SNA John Wayne Airport tried to charge me again at pickup, as my prepay wasn’t showing up on his end. He had to pull the proof from my phone. He asked if wanted insurance, told him I have my own, agreed I would NOT be getting extra insurance. Signed screen, went on my way. 2. On 1/25/26, I called SNA Budget to ask about extending rental 1-3 hrs b/c flight delay. The agent gave me quote for a 3-hr extension, but s... read more
