Staff were great. Car was difficult to find at pickup because it was parked in Avis row, and not clearly marked that they share space. Also, when I returned car a full day early I was not credited money back.Reviewed Oct 16 2024

I reserved an electric vehicle, but one were available at pick up, so they upgraded me to a premium SUV. The car was comfortable, but the cost of gas was way higher than I intended to spend. It would have been nice if Budget was more prepared to fulfill the reservation.Reviewed Sep 16 2024

Pros:The staff was very friendly.Cons:However, the cleanliness of the vehicles were horrible. Our first car that the staff provided to us smelled like marijuana. You can tell that they did not air out the vehicle nor try to get rid of the smell whatsoever. The second vehicle was just as bad. There were dents and scratches all over. The inside of the car was dirty and poorly maintained. There were soda spills on the center console, no floor mats, the side panels were sticky, and most of all the windshield fluid was low so the car would beep annoyingly every 10 mins to let us know it’s low. The car did took us where we needed to be but I felt disgusted being in the car. I even wiped and cleaned the car down but I felt like it wasn’t enough. The staff was nice and friendly but the vehicles... didn’t do it justice.Reviewed Mar 16 2021

  • When you book Budget hire cars in Fresno, you have a wide choice of cars available to you depending on what sort of trip you are planning. Budget is known to have a wide fleet of cars and is constantly updating their range with new models. Why not hire a van and explore the greater Yosemite Park or Kings Canyon National Park areas? This way the whole family can travel together in style. As Fresno is so close to a wide array of different attractions and in the middle of the California Valleys, you can either choose a compact car for inner city exploring or longer trips to San Francisco or LA. No matter what your trip is like, Budget has the car for you.

The most convenient pick-up spot if you’re flying into the Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) is at the airport counters inside the main terminals and a short walk to the car pick-up lots. The airport is found at 5175 E Clinton Way and they stay open until 11 pm, but they do have a keybox for you to drop your keys if you have a later flight. This isn’t always ideal as it is good to drop off the car yourself to check all is intact.
  • A central location pick up when you book Budget hire cars in Fresno would be the downtown Budget, 2110 Ventura Street. This pick-up location is very convenient as it is located right in the middle of a bustling city and close to the Yosemite Freeway.
