I could not pick up my SUV because they only accepted credit cards, I mentioned any amount you like take it from my visa debit they were not interested, they need to know some people live on their own cash?Reviewed 27 Aug 2024

I booked through a third party. My car was supposed to be in terminal. It was not. I would’ve had to take a bus or taxi to pick up. Budget does not have shuttle service to off terminal rentals. I ended up paying $100 extra. Service was good and I was upgraded to a better vehicle. Budget was good. Third party booking was not so good.Reviewed 21 Oct 2022

They charged me more saying that the rates are different from online and argued with me that they can not provide the car to me based on my online booking and they are not responsible for kayak booking.Reviewed 20 Oct 2022

How could I rent a service that I didn’t have access to? I mean I could have robbed a car since the employee wasn’t even paying attention of what I was doing (btw the tour I did with the Audi while your employee was telling me: « just pick a car and go to the office they will help you » was very fun). 1. Impossible to understand where is the entrance 2. It looks like an abandoned parking 3. They close without informing you and let you come with a booking to tell you « sorry we cannot give you a car ou manager left » 4. Their employees lie, they told me they couldn’t give me a car because the manager has the key to open the parking door, 10min later I see them opening it. 4. Employee tried to intimidate me by coming closer to me and start to be agressive, which didn’t work of course. To conclude, don’t go thereReviewed 12 Sept 2022

Rude staff, also they charge extra 12$ for parking which doesn't make sense since you are not using their parking, just picking up the car and dropping it off. They could be more imaginative if they want to add hidden fees.Reviewed 12 Sept 2022

Pros:Staff were friendly. One-way travel and central location (not airport) were great.Cons:Car wasn't clean (food and spilled drink under seat), body had a number of dents, scratches that weren't documented. I booked an economy car and was given a choice between two fuel-inefficient cars for a long drive. Expensive because of one-way travel.Reviewed 16 May 2021

Pros:Customer service was excellent at pick up and drop off. Employee at time of drop off came to car to see my complaint.Cons:The cleaning of car interior (especially during COVID19) I jumped in car and drove to my home......then I noticed the trunk(hatch) inside was covered in debris: leaves and twigs. The passenger side had white rocks in the handle. I called to make a complaint however I was redirected and then I was given the 'longer than usual waiting time' garble.Reviewed 5 Aug 2020

Cons:Kayak and Hotwire gave me a deal for a vehicle that doesn’t available. I made reservation on the web side for a full size sedan but ended up renting a full size Suv since there it’s the only option left they have. The price was much higher than expected also, $ 300 increased compare to the reservation. In short, these third parties website does poorly in updating the availability of vehicles.Reviewed 31 Dec 2019

• What are the best pick-up spots for Budget car rentals in Toronto?
