Carol C Denver, CO

Unfortunately the only experience I had had with budget wasn't a good one. Granted, this was 5 or so years ago but my mother in law passed away and my husband and I had to go from Illinois to Florida to gather her belongings. On the way home we rented a Budget truck. Well, a few hours in, the truck broke down. Instead of getting us another truck we had to wait 9 hours for them to fix it! We had to ride with the tow truck driver, then sit at a diner for hours! It was a miserable experience especially considering why we were there.

I used Budget due to the better rates advertised. However, they held my deposit longer than they were supposed to, and tacked on tons of extra fees that wound up costing more than U-Haul. Customer service was mediocre.
