I made a reservation with Budget at noon on 7/20 around 12pm to pick up at 1:30pm. I called to make the reservation, paid in full, asked the woman who I was speaking with if they would for sure have the vehicle when I went to pick it up. She assured me they would. I get to the Budget location on Bancroft in Ottawa Hills Ohio and they did not have a vehicle for me. I waited about 45 mins for one. I leave and go home for the day. As I'm driving to work the next day at 5am, once I reached 60mph the car started to wobble horribly. You can tell the tires were not balanced. So I called to make another reservation for the next day at 4:30 to return the car and pick up another one, explaining to them what was wrong with the car. I get there they DO NOT have a vehicle for me to swap. Instead I had to drive 25 mins to our local airport to replace this vehicle. Needless to say I was extremely upset as this is cutting into my time after working 10hrs. They over book cars left and right but they take your money up front. They say call and make sure they have the car, but when you call the local number they never answer the phone so it goes to the National Budget car rental line. This company is unprofessional and all they want to do it feel customers knowing, take your money but cannot guarantee they'll have your car. Never again will I rent from them. Cheaper is NOT always better. read more
