Waited a full hour in a line in a dark, dirty car garage to pick up rental. Definitely the worst pick-up experience ever and will avoid at all costs in the future.Reviewed Oct 21 2024

It was clear vehicles are not cleaned or evaluated for road worthiness between rentals. First vehicle I rented had such a bad cigarette smell it was unbearable to sit in the vehicle. They had tried to put in air fresheners in the vehicle, but that only made the smell worse. In addition there was paint pen writing on all the windows, not sure the reason behind this. I had to ask the attendant to remove the paint on the windows otherwise it would have been unsafe to drive. I requested a vehicle change because this one was unsatisfactory. They didn't have any other vehicles in stock so I had to go to another location to change the vehicle for a new one. Once I drove 45 mins and picked up the second vehicle that new one immediately had issues. One of the tires had a slow leak and it cause met to have to stop 3 times to refill the tire on my way to my destination. Again this vehicle was unclean as well. One of the seats was covered in syrup. Overall a poor experience and I will not be renting from them again.Reviewed Oct 13 2024

Got there and they didn’t have CARS! Not just didn’t have the car I had “reserved”. They had NO CARS AT ALL. So it completely threw a wrench at all my plans because I could get anything, had to scramble to try to make it on time to my friend’s wedding in PA (didn’t make it on time). Overall TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The lady from the office there didn’t seem to care not even a little. Didn’t provide options, call other offices to see if someone else had a car, nothing. I will of course never be trying to rent there again and maybe recommend this to somebody I really despise.Reviewed Sept 23 2024

The location was easy to get to. The price was great. The car had just been washed when I picked it up- there was still water dripping from it. I was not warned about the extra deposit at pickup but it was refunded the day I returned the car.Reviewed Oct 20 2023

Vehicle in poor condition / high prices / rude service at counter (quoted higher price than in my email confirmation and would t show me breakdown before transaction was processed on card — budget later refunded me for this unbelievable scam at counter)Reviewed Sept 11 2022

Pros:They charged me the wrong price (over $600 more). They told me they'd fix this but still have not. The display was broken (kept restarting), including the backup camera, which is a safety issue. And then the battery died. They couldn't get a towing truck there for 4 hours. And refused to book me a Lyft to the airport. I had to pay out of pocket, and we'll see if they refund me that price, or if I have to do it through my credit card company. Literally went wrong every step of the way, and they handled it terribly every step of the way.Cons:EverythingReviewed Apr 20 2021

Pros:Eventually I got a car. It ran fine.Cons:Counter staff tried to up-sell me on everything. Initially, he told me that there were no cars like what I reserved. (I reserved a compact) tried to get me to take a pickup truck or sports car for significantly more money. told me that the extra insurance I purchased wasn't worth anything and that I should buy their extra insurance on top of that. He finally "found" a car (larger than the one I wanted) and told me the wrong floor of the garage to go and get it. This all added 20-30 minutes to the pickup process. Inspecting the car was difficult because the garage was too dark to see anything. After leaving, I noticed a dent on the roof, dirty seats, and a slight smell like someone had been smoking in the car but then it was covered up with an air freshener. Also, their tolls policy is written strangely, possibly to convince you to opt into their overpriced unlimited tolls service.Reviewed Apr 2 2021

Pros:Staff very helpful.Cons:Not many people working, so line moved slowly. But it's a pandemic. That was probably just a safety precaution, which is appreciated.Reviewed Feb 5 2021

• Where are the best pick-up locations for Budget car rentals in Brooklyn?

  Budget has a few different branch locations in Brooklyn, including its popular branch located at Laguardia Airport (LGA). If your flight will not be landing at Laguardia Airport, but will instead be landing at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), you can also pick up your rental car from the Budget branch located there. In addition, there is a branch at Coney Island, which is conveniently located in the heart of Brooklyn and a nice option for those that are not arriving at one of the local airports.

• Am I able to pick the model of car from Budget in Brooklyn or will I be assigned a vehicle by the company?

  When you book a car rental through Budget in Brooklyn, you will usually have the option to pick the specific car that you would like to book. However, this typically depends on availability at the time. If they have the specific model that you have requested available, they will provide you with this car. If the model is not available the company will then provide you with a similar model instead, which may be from a different auto manufacturer than the one that you had originally requested.

• Is it possible for me to have my rental car delivered directly to me?

  Some people prefer for their rental car to be delivered to them at their home, hotel, or business, rather than going to a rental location in the city and picking it up themselves. However, Budget usually does not offer a delivery service. If you are in need of transportation between your selected rental branch and a secondary location, Budget offers a free pick-up service to bring you directly to and from their offices. To help ensure that there is enough availability for you to benefit from this service, you should contact Budget well in advance of the preferred date and time of your pick-up.
