The staff at Kennedy were really polite. I originally booked a car with Dollar, but due to a locked credit card, I had to switch the reservation last minute. I initially reserved a Toyota Camry, but they gave me a Kia W5. I noticed one of the tires had low pressure, so they replaced it with a Chevrolet Malibu. Although I felt the Malibu was a lower tier than the Camry, it was around 4:30 PM and I still had a 5-hour drive ahead to my destination. Because of the language barrier, I just took the car and left. Nonetheless, the staff were very accommodating, checked my order, confirmed I had full insurance, and asked where I was headed to determine if I needed an EZPass. Overall, I am satisfied.

The service was terrible. We arrived at the New York airport store on time to pick up the car, but they didn't reserve the car as per the booking terms. We had to wait for other people to return their cars. When questioned why they didn't honor the contract, they blamed the third party, which is QEEQ, and said we just had to wait. They couldn't even tell us how long we would need to wait, or offered us the option not to rent. We waited at the New York airport store for over 4 hours before getting a car. The kids were so tired they fell asleep on the floor. The car they gave us was not the model we had reserved. After much arguing, we finally got the right model. No one assisted us with inspecting the car or taking it. It was a terrible car rental experience. We will never rent from Budget again.

Long waiting time due to insufficient staff, crowded office space as a result.

The wait at the Budget line at JFK was HORRENDOUSLY long. I arrived only ti find the longest queue was for Budget. I stood in line from 10.30am until 12.30 noon before i was able to get to the counter. The lady who served me mumbled away for most of the time and would walk away from the counter from time to time. It was a shoddy experience. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

Why until now I didn’t get the final invoice amount?
