The truck exterior was filthy!! The interior cleanliness was overall pretty good other than the huge seagull poop on the back seat. Obviously the windows were left open and the BIG bird had great aim. Other than that this was a top 10 experience with Budget. Punta Gorda front desk pickup service is always good.Reviewed Jul 14 2024

First of all the car was filthy. Dirt on the floor stains on the seats and used toothpicks stuck on the door. For as much as we paid that was ridiculous Charlene harbin 5025238713Reviewed Apr 23 2024

Loved it. The wait time at the Budget counter was longer than I would have liked. I had to wait for a car to be prepped as there was a shortage of SUVs when I arrived.Reviewed Mar 18 2024

Dropped off vehicle at 6:05 PM at the location. No one was there, however, there was no box to leave the keys. There was a box that said, for trucks only and not to leave the car keys. I had no choice but to leave the car keys in the truck box. would I run there again? Absolutely not. Very frustrating. I was there 45 minutes trying to figure out what to do. No one would answer the phone and when I talk to someone on the phone, it took me a half hour to wait to get to someone. Too much time out of my day, and my time is valuable.Reviewed Feb 16 2024
