Using this company added so much stress to an already stressful move. I called and reserved a truck the week before and reserved it for the Sunday. They said to check in and pay before the Friday (which I forgot to do with all of the other things I had to coordinate). I called in the Saturday morning around 11am to confirm and say I would be in to pay my deposit. The woman on the phone said they still had the truck for me and I could come in at any point of Saturday to put the deposit down and sign the papers. When I got there at 5pm, the manager just said they cancelled it and there was nothing he could do, they already gave away the truck. I was left to frantically call around other places to get a moving van for the next day. Until I received a call that said they had a truck. When I went in the next morning, I was told I had to have 450.00 pre-authorization on my credit card and ended up getting charged an extra vehicle fee that I was not verbally told when I rented the truck. My issue was that they didnt have the courtesy to make a service call on Friday to just double check if I was still taking the truck (I work with reservations and do it all the time), Even if they did cancel the reservation, I was told (apparently after they already did it) that it was not cancelled and I had the truck, before I was told that I did NOT have the truck the evening before my move, their customer service was terrible in my experience (customer communication especially), and there were charges that were written/buried deep in the paper work that they did not tell me about, and were all to happy to shrug off and say, "well, it was in the contract." When I brought my experience up to customer service, the CS agent shrugged it off and their whole tone shifted and seemed to just want to get off the phone. I learned two things on my move. Be more prepared (my own fault) and never use budget ever again.

I was in a bind and 8.5 months pregnant. The staff here were so helpful and saved my day.

Great deal on a truck rental and a free month of storage!
