## Review summary

Users praise Budget’s app for easy booking, friendly staff, clean cars, and perceived value. However, recurring issues include rude or slow service and long pickup waits, unclear or inflated fees, frequent inventory problems that prevent reserved cars or trigger upgrades, and app bugs that hinder access to reservations and receipts. Overall, there are strong positives in some locations, but systemic charges, availability, and app reliability concerns recur across reviews.

### Pros

- The Budget app makes reservations easy and quick.
- Friendly, helpful staff in several locations (notably BOS) stand out.
- Clean, well-maintained cars.
- Good value and a smooth, repeatable rental experience that keeps customers returning.

### Cons

- Poor customer service and long wait times at pickup, including rude staff in some locations.
- Opaque and inconsistent fees/charges with frequent final costs higher than quotes and several surcharges.
- Availability issues and inventory mismanagement leading to no-shows for reserved cars or mandated upgrades.
- App reliability and usability problems (bugs, not loading current rentals or receipts, and limited on-the-go support).
