    Rented truck in August for move.drove to destination and truck leaked rain on first and/or second day onto belongings packed. Didnt notice until three days after beginning of rental when I unloaded. Never opened back until arriving at destination so I didnt know. Told budget at drop off. Reported to claims. Sent pictures. Filled out their spreadsheet with damages and costs. Then they decided to ignore me and wont respond to emails or phone calls. Damages over $2k itemized and reported to claims. Plus $1600 paid in truck rental.

    I called on a Monday to rent a truck for Thursday. On Tuesday I called a couple times because I received the wrong information on the vehicle I reserved, as I had to register it on my ez pass. On those calls I made sure that the truck was available and that I was all set to pick it up Thursday. After an 18-hour bus ride, I called this location before I arrived and no one picked up the phone and neither did I receive any calls, messages, nor emails. When I arrived and met with ****, with whom I made the reservation with and that had all my contact information (including my email) he proceeded to tell me that the truck I reserved is not in working order. And asked me if there was a possibility that I can be back the day after, to give them time to fix the truck as the "axels were messed up". There were two trucks outside. He said that he "tried to contact me" but I have not received any calls or emails to let me know within at least 24 hours to notify me. There was no effort to let me know what happened, neither to give me a solution. I had my hands tied meanwhile hundreds of miles away from home. It was very unprofessional and negligent. I would never recommend such a business, with the little amount of effort and care I got.

    Dear ******* *****, 

    In regards to the aforementioned BBB complaint case# ********, thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

    Budget Truck values the relationship that we have with our travelers and always strives to do the right thing. We apologize for the inconvenience this matter has caused.

    Reservations are booked based on our expected availability, however when vehicles are returned back late or returned damaged it can cause us to not have the availability we had expected. In these cases we will try to find a vehicle from another location, if we are not able to we would have to refer you to rent with a competitor. In the event you did rent with another self moving company and your total was more than your expected total with Budget Truck you can provide your closed receipt for us to review for possible credit towards the additional charges paid. 

    Thank you for allowing us to assist you.

    You are stating you are refunding $270 for the inconvenience. 

    You charged me two days when I only used one, plus hand truck when there wasn't one on the truck for us to use.

    So, no. You are not refunding me for any inconvenience, you are barely refunding all of the extra costs I incurred because of Budgets incompetence.

    -And this is not a rare occurrence. You did this to me before in 2015 when I rented a 26' truck at a ************* location and they didn't have the size truck I RESERVED and was forced to make a 1.5 hour round trip to get a 26' truck which ultimately ended up with me losing over ***** in items I had to leave behind due to time constraints.

    I would of had plenty of time if the truck was available!

    So this is NOT rare, you've screwed me twice now.

    Reserved a truck a week in advance and got a confirmation and a reminder email to call the day of to be told they don't know what I'm talking about nor do them even have that truck. I asked them to cancel it because I don't want to get charged for their mistake and was told they can't do that because they can only see the reservation upon check out. Fast forward I was charged 150$ for a 70$ truck that never existed. Then have the nerve to lie and say the truck was there the whole time. I need the proof of the conversation that occured Sunday at 11:37 since all calls are recorded. I will be reporting them to the BBB and *** for fraud.

I had to pay them money for just showing up.The mechanic asked what happened, I explained and he continued and check the truck, he tells me that it has the wrong fuel and its gong to need to be towed.I called budget again and requested another vehicle, as to they responded, there were no available. I had to get another truck from U-haul the next morning.they did not coming until the following afternoon to pick up the truck.I was moving and had a lot of stress and was overwhelmed by the move, so I let it go.Until today, I receive a bill from Budgets claim department asking me to pay for damages. $2200.00 I have returned their email with a treat to sue. on my document copy is a claim number that I set with budget the day of the breakdown. what can I do?

    SEE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS OF RESERVATION. I was offered a position to relocate from ***********, ** To ********* w/my husband. We reserved a rental moving truck with Budget bc my auto insurance carrierUSAA, referred me with a 20% off discount. I never recvd the discount. we arrived to the *******, ** location at 8AMon Moving day & the **** did not show until15min after 8am. Due to the character limit here is an outline of our complaints with the truck we were provided-The tires on the ******************************** were at 35PSI-As soon as we pulled onto the **********************, the Check Engine light came on-Traveling at 60MPH the engine would downshift & *** b/w 5000 & 6000 RPM-THERE WERE NO BRAKES-The rear P/S outer tire had a deep V Cut in it down to the Cords.-The truck needs an alignment, it had a bad pull to the right-The front tires were BALD to the steel belt-The oil&tranny fluids were OVER FULL-The interior of the cab was EXTREMELY DIRTY, there was a layer of dirt everywhere, my husband opened the window for the first **************** ash blew everywhere, the ashtray was full-There is a leak inside the cab.Our backs were soaked from rain water leaking down the seam that seals the cab to the box above our heads/back-The wiper blades served no purpose, they only smeared lines across your field of vision-We were told to return the truck with 3/4 tank of gas, which we did, the Nashville **** told us we would be charged $15.99 a gallon for it not being full. I had to send them the video of the Medford *** advising us to return with 3/4 tank of gas. -The representative @ *******, ** told us that the truck was JUST SERVICED before we picked it up &the mechanic is on the property. We were the only ones to use the truck since it was serviced. As stated, I recorded these complaints on video and will provide. A 14 hour drive turned into a 24 hour drive b/c we had to stop FREQUENTLY to check the air pressure in the tires & put gas in, amongst checking everything else in the truck.

    We are incredibly sorry for the experience you had and the stated condition of the vehicle that you received.

This is a total credit of $489.00, while we understand that you did previously decline this offer, we were not able to find any calls into our **************** or Roadside team during the rental, based on this we do feel this is a fair and reasonable offer.

    The condition of the truck was far worse than didnt meet my expectations. 

    As politely as possible, Its easy to sit behind a computer and deal with complaints from customers all day, Im sure this may have de-sensitizes you after a while. However, You were not in the truck, or driving through a thunderstorm in *********,TN getting rained on and unable to see through the wipers, we had to pull over and get rained on and wait it out. It was frightening. 

    The previous offer of 25% back is still unacceptable. I never even received the discount from being a USAA policyholder and using your services as a referral. 

    The condition of the truck set us back on schedule, we have established I was not aware that Emergency Road Side would bring us a new truck and a people to assist unloading and loading the vehicle. If I knew that, I likely I would have made that call. I truly thought roadside was there for the standard Lockout/gas delivery/ Tow to a nearby repair shop. 

    As my rebuttal request, I am requesting a refund in the amount of $1739.38 . I feel this is a more than respectful request considering the highly questionable condition of the vehicle. I also already voiced my concern to ****. Your own mission statement cites you strive to ..deliver a quality product would you agree at the minimum this was something your company could not in fact deliver? 

    Rude customer service and inconvenience aside, this truck was not safe for the roads. Im truly concerned how many other trucks in your fleet are in similar conditions. Its highly unlikely I received THE ONE faulty truck. The best part is,  my husband and I were assured the truck was just serviced before we picked it up.

    We were rained on from inside the cab. There were no brakes on the truck. The tires were bald. The tires constantly lost air pressure. The engine revved high if we went over 60mph. The fluids were overfilled. The check engine light came on 5 miles into driving (adding to the unknown of what else is wrong) The wipers didnt clear the windshield in a rainstorm. The customer services **** were inexperienced at best. Lastly, it was filthy with cigarette ashes and empty Gatorade bottles from prior people using the truck. 

    Incase you needed a friendly reminder - your companys mission statement, from your website is; 

    We will consistently deliver a quality product, friendly service and great value that make customers confident that ********************** is their best car rental choice.

    - ******************************************************************************************************

    Its clear the company fell short this time on all three standards.

    Regarding the BBB complaint case # ********, thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.
     
    Budget Truck Rental values the relationship that we have with our customers and strives to uphold the highest ethical standards. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this matter.

    Upon reviewing the details of your complaint, our records show that you spoke with a supervisor on October 21 and mentioned disputing the charges with your card provider. At that time, you were informed that we could no longer discuss the matter with you, as it now a legal dispute.  There are restrictions on how to proceed. The dispute process is very specific and must be adhered to in the strictest sense.  

    If the dispute has been resolved, please provide us with a confirmation letter, and we will be happy to assist you further. Otherwise, we must wait for the dispute to be settled before proceeding. 

    Also, you mentioned that the truck gears were not changing correctly, water was leaking in through the rear cap onto me while driving, and you were pulled over because the lights were flickering off and on, preventing you from driving at night. However, there are no records of you contacting our emergency roadside service to report any of these issues with the truck. Due to this, the additional day charge of $132.91 is rendered correctly. 

    We truly regret that we are unable to further assist you in this matter. We hope the dispute is resolved quickly by your financial institution.

    I rented a truck to haul all of my daughter and mine belongings from ******** to ********. As it was just my 13 yr and myself I had to drive the rental truck to Kentucky unload and return the vehicle in ******** where I would be picking up my vehicle. On my way to ******** the check engine light came on so I pulled over and tried to contact roadside assistance. I tried calling several times but the lines seems to be down. I was able to reach customer service and they said they have nothing to do with vehicle issues and the only thing they could tell me was to keep calling. After already losing almost 2 hours we decided to continue on,the only issue so far was that I couldn't go past 55mph with the truck shuddering vibrating extremely. We were about an hour away from the drop off destination and the truck started acting oddly, jerking and jumping when I tried to accelerate, it had a weird smell and could barely get it past 45mph which took a very long time to get to even that. With no luck I had tried calling the roadside assistance again but since we had already lost several hours due to the issues we knew it was a bad idea to stop and wait when we had no idea how long it'd take to finally contact them. I was finally able to reach them the next morning and they said they'd send for a tow but my belongings that were supposed to go to a storage unit were still on the truck, I had no vehicle due to nor being able to get back to ******** and had asked for a replacement. They said no. I had a medical emergency and was in bed for the remainder of the next day, the following day the truck was gone with my belongings still on it, that is now Saturday and the place it was supposed to wed to doesn't open until Monday. And now I have to pay at least $60 to get to a car rental place and $200 for the car to get back to ******** for my vehicle and try and figure out how to get my property if they even give it to me

When we got there they said it would only be a 12' box truck because they reserve all their cargo vans for Amazon delivery only. ************** Then I was not allowed to drive off the lot without purchasing a commercial insurance policy, almost $300. Both deceitful and fraudulent. When I couldn't drive to ******* because of hurricane ****** I returned the truck the next day, filled the fuel tank, it cost $7.00. Then ***** said to give her my credit card so she could refund the truck. The amount of the refund equaled the total amount that I paid. I commented,"wow, I'm getting all my money back minus the fuel, is it because of the hurricane? What's that called?" to which ***** replied "an act of God!!So I left and vowed to return when it's safe to travel back to *******. After I left I saw a charge on my credit card in the amount of $530 for damage to the truck, fuel charges,"roadside safety net" plus tax of course. It's been taken care of but never should have happened.
