Absolutely worst experience. I arrived to be told they don't have any cars available. WHAT!?!? What kind of rental company has no cars?!! They didn't care about it and the two reps were ridiculously rude. One in particular blamed management for the mishap. The employees basically said that this happens often and management doesn't care. I have the entire conversation recorded to my phone and will be sending to cooperate. It's obvious from the reviews that the staff and owner are representing budget in a horrible way. This place shouldn't be allowed to operate.

I pick up a one way rental car from Oceanside Budget. Car is dirty. Ac not working. Half tank of fuel mark full tank. Bad services . What wrong with you guys. Totally unacceptable. I try to call local location. It went to headquarters. Bed business practice.

**Worst Experience with Budget Truck Rental of Oceanside** I recently had a concerning experience with Budget Truck Rental in Oceanside that highlights potential issues with their customer service and planning. I reserved a rental truck and auto transport 26 days in advance, but I received a call just 20 hours before my scheduled pickup. The representative informed me that they could not fulfill my reservation and they would need to check with other locations. After not receiving a follow-up call, I reached out to their national customer support line at 4:15 PM, only to find out that the Oceanside Office had closed at 4 PM, despite their website indicating office hours until 5 PM. Additionally, the representative mentioned that there were no management notifications regarding my reservat

I've been a frequent renter at this Budget/Avis location for a couple years, and every experience is consistently top-notch. The process is always fast and efficient—no fuss, just friendly, professional service that gets me on the road quickly. The staff goes out of their way to ensure every detail is taken care of, making each rental experience a breeze. Highly recommended for anyone seeking reliable, hassle-free car rentals!

Manager was incredibly rude. Nowhere on the website does it say that they absolutely require insurance on the trucks. Manager flat out refused to allow us to rent a truck without buying their insurance which is an extra $100. Cashier was nice though.
