Budget rental car services closes in Durango

Budget rental car services closed suddenly last week. A sign posted on its front door in the Walmart shopping center suggests customers go to Avis.

If you’re making travel plans in Durango, you won’t want to use Budget rental car service: The company recently closed without prior notification, putting out several customers landing at the airport.

A sign outside the business’s office located in the shopping center near Walmart reads: “Please go to Avis at the Durango La Plata airport for all rentals and returns.”

A representative at the Avis kiosk at the airport said any customers with a car rented from Budget can return it to the Avis station.

Budget is a franchise agency, which buys and sells its own cars. Online, the company’s location is listed as 1145 South Camino del Rio, Suite 114 – yet a map of the location is pinpointed at the airport.

A representative for Enterprise said Budget left its kiosk at the airport about two years ago, and Enterprise subsequently took over.
