I keep coming back here, hoping that they will improve but it’s only become worse. They only ever staff one person, and it always takes me over an hour to get any transaction completed even though they claim to be a “fastbreak” location. Budget should pull their franchise out of here, because it only does to make them look bad.

Oh gosh. I don't know what is happening here. The woman gives no fks about customers. Maybe she has something horrible going on, but no basic explanation to humanize her. She just did not care about how much time she wasted of my life by simply not being there to receive the car. No dropbox. No answered call. Nothing. Yikes.

  • Chelsea Dee

It says max occupancy 2 and there were 5 people in line at 8am. Just wanted to return my car and asked if there was a Rapid Return Box, they said no I would have to wait in line. so far ive been waiting 30 minutes. Severely understaffed , whoever manages this place clearly does a terrible job. I wont be back.

  • Alexa Winkler

Be prepared to wait forever when you get here to get your car/drop off a car. They don't have enough help. Don't even try to call because odds are they won't answer. When we called to ask about our car, they answered on the 4th try and when we got here to pick it up it took over an hour.

  • Danielle Denham

Very little actual information is listed on mobile when making a reservation. In other words there are hidden details about your rental that you don't find out until later. Seems to be very little communication between locations. Will rent from Uhaul next time.

  • ShaSha Nanigans

Called directly for a quote to compare to online offers. Woman on the phone this morning was very rude (with attitude) and unhelpful. Best offer given was $225 more than online, all else equal. Doesn’t speak well to their level of customer service generally.

  • F A B S

Also ran into the same problem as with another location. Super nice service and great treatment but both cars had lights going off on the dashboard which meant they needed a checkup or an oil change. It isn’t to comforting driving alone and

  • Daniel Kordik

Rented a car in Seattle, dropped it off here five hours later. Two months after get a $75.00 charge on my credit card from Budget Car Rental with no explanation. Called customer service, who sent me to billing, who sent me to sales (?), who

  • Brian K

Terrible service. Was told I could have tire chains included with my rental prior to arriving. But once I got there they said I would void my contract with tire changes. That is not the problem. The problem was that their solution was it's

  • Pete Haas

I've rented twice from this location on occasions where I wanted to get out of the city for a day or two while visiting Portland friends and have had nothing but great experiences. The folks there have been great and the manager, Kurt, was

  • Mike Trujillo

This is the worst place to rent a car. The guy at the desk is extremely rude and dismissive. The company I work for rented this car for me. They gave me a car with over 30,000 miles on it. I could be in this car for a very long time, since

  • Gavin Cox

Here is a warning that should not need to be said. If you create a reservation, and go to pickup your vehicle from said reservation. The agents with the poorest customer service will decide to create a brand new reservation for a much more

  • Heather Johnson

Super sketchy. We got in late, so the employee was in a rush to get out. The first car didn’t even start, luckily we could track the guy down. He got us new keys and immediately disappeared again, no looking over the car or anything. After

  • Tyler OD

I rented with Budget after getting overcharged by uHaul a few too many times but this was way worse. They charged $500 more than what we were quoted at for a moving truck. It has also clearly been smoked in, the dash was super sticky, and

  • A Ajjj

Got charged a fee of 450.00 because my son was outside the building smoking when we returned the vehicle. The guy that checked in the vehicle was mad because there was dog hair in the vehicle then just added otherfees that didn't make any

  • Britt McConn

The actual vehicle was good overall. Newer and performed great all the way to Idaho and back. Not very clean inside the car though. It was both experiences with the employees. They look (and act) pretty unhappy and not shy about taking it

  • PB Young

Wow. What an underwhelming experience. Dirty car. Dirty windows. One attendant saying their car wash was broken; another saying they don't wash the cars when the temps are below freezing. They should get their stories straight. Windows so

  • Andrea Shuman

Super sketchy. Very unfriendly. Lights off in the office and invisible behind an ancient computer console. I yelled "hello!" In the seemingly empty office when trying to return my car...nothing. i walk out...walk around...come back in and

  • Mackenzie Miller

My husband and I had a reservation for a van and due to a catalytic converter being cut out the night before, things got a bit dicey but Sarah was unbelievably helpful, patient and got us all sorted with the desired van at another nearby

  • Sam Burke

Don't trust this people as far as you can throw a piano! The whole company is rotten! I rented a car from Seattle airport yesterday to drive to Portland my plan was to drop it off at PDX but changed it to the nearest budget to my house.

  • Jeff Trappe II

Always professional and understanding when it comes to my extended business rentals, Sarah and Kurt are always there to help answer any questions I have. If you call there will normally be a small wait but your patience will be rewarded

  • Stephanie Cowan

Do not rent from this location. We reserved a car two days prior to pick up and when we went to pick it up, we were told there were none available. We had to return two hours later to pick up a different car than we had ordered. When we

  • Uri Belanger

DO NOT USE THIS LOCATION!!! Had a reservation and confirmation number. Showed up. Employee asked me to step outside as only one person was allowed inside which is fine, but then another person entered after I stepped outside and he did

  • James Y

Being able to use these guys to rent a car while my car is down to continue to do my job is nice it's really nice that they have a program with Uber to let drivers use their vehicles to do their jobs. My only concern is the payment I'm

  • Mike C

I actually made the mistake of renting trucks from this Budget location twice. Both times the service was incredibly poor but the second time the truck had a serious leak which completely soaked my almost new mattress. I was offered no

  • Scott Lemon

I had a great experience with budget. I was not sure of the timing to get the car so I had set it for noon but as it turned out my son had school at 8:00 am so i was early to get my car. They said it was not ready as the lot was almost

  • Jim Stein

We rented a car from this Budget location for a family trip. We did a walk through of the vehicle before the car was turned over to us and the car had a couple of dings and a small scrape. I was surprised that the car was in less than

  • Kelly Gibson

Made a reservation to pick up a moving van, arrived to find no one working, the office locked up with a "sorry we're closed" sign up in the window despite being on time and within the posted hours of operation. I got screwed big time.

  • Lynn Della

We have been regular customers of Budget -- and this location -- for the better part of 10 years. Kurt and his staff are unfailingly friendly, welcoming and courteous, and have gone "above and beyond" for us on several occasions. The

  • olivier pheulpin

Amazing experience. As our plane was delayed, the Budget employee - Kurt I think - took the time to call us back and offered to stay past closing time to wait for us. Much appreciated assist to start a road trip.

  • Dev R

The owner has been in business for several years and been very successful. One of the key reasons? He treats his customers with respect and gives them good deals on rentals. He's always considerate of my needs.

  • Siriah

Great place and they are not annoying with the debit card thing that makes it to where you can’t get a truck if you don’t have good credit or major credit card. Bathroom is just gross that’s my only complaint.

  • Jeff Mcdaniel

Never ever rent a car from here. They didn't give me the car I originally reserved. Then they take a $100 deposit without telling you. Surprise surprise. . Then it took two calls and 3 weeks to get it back.

  • Gram Loomis

I just wish I could do negative stars... Truck was dirty, none of the 4 car tow trailers' taillights were working when picking it up, despite booking a month in advance. Had to wait an extra day until

  • M J

Kurt deserves a raise and promotion!! This is the second time I’ve been to this budget and second time Kurt has been manning the office, the first time was an easy enjoyable pick up and return. This

  • Jimmy Loar

I have rented cars for business trips several years from the location on 82nd avenue. The employees have been consistently professional . Also, the cars are always clean and nice.

  • oyeyinka oluwa

Been using budget for my car rental needs since 2021. As a travel RN, they always know what I need for the roads in every city I travel to for work. They are the bomb!!!

  • Robert Moore

Absolutely unacceptable hold times. I've been put on hold 4 times for 10 minutes each then the automated system disconnects you.

  • jar8425

Kurt did a great job. He made the tiny car selection and insurance that's more than the daily charge for the car.

  • Adam S

Don’t rent from Budget or Avis. You will immediately and retroactively regret it.
