Liked the easy pickup process in Boston and the Nissan rogue had all the options like heated seats, steering wheel, full sunroof and all the driver assist technologies. The only knock is that the rogue was pretty beat up all the way around. Scratches, dents, trim I clipped, etc. No real big deal for us but she looked kinda haggard. On day two the rogue’s air conditioning died. We went to the Budget rental counter at the Bangor Maine airport and they swapped us for a loaded Jeep Grand Cherokee with no hassle in all of 15 minutes. That event earned huge brownie points for Budget in my book. If I had to pick on something it would be that the Jeep reeked of cigarette smoke so we immediately went to Walmart for a pack of liquid air vent fresheners that helped a lot.Reviewed 20 May 2024

An hour plus long wait in Boston at the pick up counter. RidiculousReviewed 6 May 2024

All agents were nice and provided clear answers and some empathy, so that was good. There was no transparency online of what the collision waiver would cost. It was expensive as expected, but not being able to see my bottom line cost when shopping for reservations is pretty lousy. There was a really long line at the rental car center for pick up, and when we got out to the garage to select a car, the size of car I reserved was not available and there was a really limited choice. I got a much larger car, which I was not thrilled with for efficiency, city parking, and ride quality reasons, but which was usable. The delays meant I left the garage at peak rush hour, and traffic was at a standstill (even within the car rental lot!). After a long overseas flight, not fun. Can’t blame all Boston traffic on the rental car company, but they could have streamlined the pick up process to get us out the door earlier. and they could work with the city to site their property so it doesn’t create or suffer from such bad traffic bottlenecks.Reviewed 18 Apr 2024

Horrible! We were charged $20 weeks after rental with no reference as to why. We just received another bill for $125 for the sand on the mats. There was snow on the roads and they were sanded. Filing a claim at small claims courtReviewed 14 Apr 2024

Never saw anything go so smooth. We picked up in Groton CT, dropped off at Logan. And then reversed the pick up and drop off on the return of our trip. 1, 2,3 we were in and out of there. Everyone was very friendly and nice. Nothing to improve on.Reviewed 3 Apr 2024

Was quoted a much cheaper price online and when I arrived it went from 143 to 600 including the hold on card then the car was a base model Chevy spark I asked for a refund and then they tried with other cars but they weren’t charged, so I went over to hertz and got a Tesla model x for 280 and a 200 dollar hold… would not recommend budgetReviewed 25 Feb 2024
