AT A GLANCE:
Individuals who reserved and paid for a rental vehicle through Budget and were charged mandatory fees that were not included in the advertised rental price.
Attorneys are investigating whether Budget displayed artificially low rental prices while delaying disclosure of mandatory provider-imposed charges until later in the booking process.
Consumers who paid mandatory charges that were not clearly included in the advertised rental price may be entitled to compensation.
Attorneys are investigating claims that Budget advertised rental vehicle prices that did not include mandatory provider-imposed charges consumers were required to pay to complete their reservation.
According to the investigation, consumers were initially shown a lower advertised rental price and a "Vehicle Total Rate," while certain mandatory charges were disclosed only later in the reservation process. As a result, consumers may have paid more than they reasonably expected based on the advertised price.
If you reserved a rental vehicle through Budget and paid mandatory charges that were not included in the initial advertised rental price, you may qualify to participate in this investigation.
If you qualify, you can bring a claim through arbitration—a legal process similar to court but often faster and more streamlined. Our legal partners will handle the process on your behalf.
Correct. These are individual arbitration claims, not a class action or traditional lawsuit. It’s a common way to hold companies accountable when they’ve violated privacy or consumer protection laws.
There are no upfront costs to you. Legal fees are only collected if your case is won or settled. If there is no recovery, you will not be responsible for any fees or costs.
We work with a number of established and respected law firms across the United States, all of whom work to secure compensation for people like you who may have had their privacy rights violated. This campaign is sponsored by Bryson Harris Suciu & DeMay PLLC.
