The Good Stuff
Car condition
Reviews mention clean, well-maintained vehicles, including a brand-new car and a 2025-condition Geely Coolray.
Clear explanations
The handover can include a careful walkthrough of the car, its functions, scratches and contract details.
Replacement support
One renter received a better replacement car two days after an initially delayed start.
New vehicles
A customer specifically reported receiving a brand-new car in excellent condition.
Booking flexibility
A booking made for the wrong date was amended, allowing the customer to leave in a clean, fully fuelled car 30 minutes later.
Fair rates
One review says the rates compared favourably with other rental companies and the cars were clean.
Tips for a Better Visit
Document damage. Photograph and video scratches at delivery; one handover review specifically advised doing this before driving away.
Check equipment. Before leaving, check that the spare tyre and toolkit match the vehicle, especially for a longer rental.
Allow buffer. Avoid scheduling a tight onward appointment: reviews include waits of about two hours at the start of a rental.
Clarify extras. At return, ask which charges may apply and have the final inspection explained clearly before accepting the handback.
Verify fuel. Check the fuel level and vehicle condition at delivery; one customer received a fully fuelled car described as expected.

The Bottom Line
Budget Rent A Car in Al Garhoud handles short rentals, longer leasing arrangements, car delivery, collection and returns. Reviews often describe the process as easy, with cars delivered on time and handovers completed quickly. Customers also mention clean, well-maintained vehicles, a brand-new car and a 2025-condition Geely Coolray used for a month.
The strongest pattern is attentive help during delivery and collection. Several reviewers appreciated clear explanations of vehicle functions, scratches, damage and contract details. There are also examples of support when plans go wrong: a booking made for the wrong date was amended, while another delayed rental ended with a better replacement car two days later.
These details make the branch worth considering when convenience and a guided handover matter. The experience is not completely consistent. Some customers waited around two hours, and one reported waiting from 6:00 to 7:49 PM.
Another complained about extra charges at return. A longer-term renter described unresolved maintenance and tyre problems, including an incompatible spare and toolkit. Photograph the car and damage at delivery, check the emergency equipment, confirm the fuel level and leave time for possible delays.
