    Terrible website, terrible app, can't get rid of an old account, app "pay now" with all taxes and fees is never the final price, which is always higher. Working through reservation changes and hitting confirm & pays throws an error. On a prior reservation they called me an hour prior to pickup stating they had no cars, I canceled, they charged me, took TWO MONTHS and threat of legal action to get a refund, lied to by 3 agents during the process....

    Problems from the on start. Kept locking up. I thought it was due to poor data coverage, so stopped trying to add my info until later in the day at a different location. Same issue. Still will not let me add my driver's license in the app. When I added my cc, it defaulted to a number I wasn't familiar with, so I had to redo that. And what's up with auto linking to my Amazon Account?

    The app is about as easy as it gets. It's intuitive & efficient, and once you're registered with a login it literally only takes minutes to reserve a decent rental car at a very competitive price. I've found the same thing with the Budget location I've been using in Morehead City NC. They're helpful and ready for you so that you're in and out of the office in 1-2 minutes and into a nice clean well maintained car so you can get on the road ASAP. I'm happily impressed.

    It has been painful to use this app. It either crashes on opening or once opened, it doesn't let me go to my account details or check the upcoming trips. It's stuck on the home page. This has been the case for a while and I hoped eventual updates would fix it but no change for the last how many ever months. Device: Pixel 10 Pro Android 16

    The app function is okay. Budget as a company however.....let's say the company is set up to avoid customer service. If trying to contact them they make it impossible to go above the first level of contact. It is impossible to contact a local office, for example where your rental is. They'll offer coupons and refunds. The coupons are unusable and the refunds never come. The company is dishonest in their business practices.
