CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON BUDGET AT DENVER AIRPORT, DEN

Car was new, comfortable and fun to drive. KIA Soul.

Booking was seamless.

First of all this location (Denver) attended Avis/Budget/Payless in the same building. The crowd waiting to rent was unbelievable. When we got there the line filled the inside of the building, went out of it and around. They abuse the fact that you've been out in the sun, by the time you get to the counter you just want to get out, so they push everything on you. It took around 80-90 minutes from the time we got to budget to the time we got to the counter. And after that we waited for a further 30 while they "got the car ready". Finally we stormed in there asking for a car that was ready and they gave us our rental.

Excellent, customer care giving necessary advice on upgrade to 4 x 4 for winter travel..

Car was in a very poor confition - multiple dents, scrapes etc.

Fine

They promised a Ford Escape or a similar grade vehicle, but we got a Mitsubishi instead, which was quite a letdown. The price might be lower than booking at the store, but it's due to the downgrade in car model. It's not a problem with Budget, but rather the third-party service QEEQ, which I wouldn't use again.

Queued for an hour to pick up the car; got charged over $300 as a deposit. In the end, I found out it was for full insurance which was added secretly.

The service was good and the staff were friendly.

The oil warning light was on when I got to vehicle. I went back to office and asked them to put more oil. They said they couldn’t and reassured me it was fine..... that their oil sensors were set very high. I said I was doing a road trip so could they check oil level. They said they couldn’t but I could do went back to car. Engine was hot and I had not cloth to wipe dip stick so couldn’t see oil level very well. Went back to office and they reassured me I would have enough oil. As it happens the light stayed on for our 1400 mile journey and there was no problem but the oil light was disconcerting and should not have been on! Also the back of our car outside was filthy. I have photos to prove.

I was told that I would be unable to rent the car because I had made an international booking and didn't have a international drivers license. I have a US drivers license, even though I reside in England. This was extremely frustrating and almost resulted in me not being able to hire the car. Upon booking, I saw a list of acceptable IDs, which included a US drivers license. The manager sorted it out, luckily, and I was able to hire the car after all. But I had an extremely negative experience with the person at the counter and whatever policy she was referring to seemed totally absurd. Why would I need an international driver's license if I had a US one?!

Budget exceeded my expectations. They booked my car for a car that was not suitable but quickly found a new vehicle that was originally booked and didn't try to oversell me insurance. They were really helpful.

Everything was easy and simple.

Overall service is good

It's okay.

The counter staff was amazing, the wait was really long to pick up though. They appeared to have as many staff on as possible.

The agent aimed to please.

Budget initially directed me to a car that was not in the car park, I returned to the office where the staff found me an alternative car.

Need to speed up the pick up process.

Great prices

Very satisfied

The car exceeded our expectations. It was new, clean and comfortable. Check out was quick, it was the wait in line that slowed us down...but it was still wasn't long.

Great price and easy to rent.

Counter staff did not tell me about the large number of toll roads around Denver which I was unaware of, or that toll pre-payment to Budget beforehand would save me money. Unaware of all this I was stung with some hefty toll costs which I now have to pay. Not good. My wife booked her car through Thrifty after I had dropped my car off at Budget. The counter staff at Thifty informed her of all this before she took her car out. I was with her at the time and wondered why I had not received the same advice from Budget!!

The car rental service was quite good.
