The only thing I didn't like was that they gave me a call that was damaged on the bumpers and the sides.

Bad experience with budget in Fort Lauderdale, the car we received in my opinion was not a safe vehicle, there was a vibration at highway speeds, once we stopped I checked the tires and they were down to the wear bars and should have been replaced long before we got it, it rains alot in Florida in the summer and I had to drive slower to prevent hydro planning. Budget you could work on your maintenance!

Waited for over an hour in line to get my car because only one customer service agent was working during a busy time. The phone system is horrible. You will be caught in a continuous loop with nobody to help. Trying to contact the local Fort Lauderdale counter was impossible. The rental bus at FLL is not reliable at night, we had to walk to get our car. They over-charged me for a toll transponder that I said I didn’t want because I would have no tolls where I was going. I am still waiting to see if they refunded me. Overall a terrible experience!

You can make a prepaid reservation for the car you want, but the dealerships sell those at a higher price on the pickup date and you will be stranded with either no car or an awful substitute. Long line ups at the Miami location. Be prepared to wait for an hour in queue.

Questions & Answers

Budget was the worst experience I have ever had with a rental car. A complete NIGHTMARE. Make sure to read the contract in case the representative make a mistake or insert some unauthorized charges that they did to “help you out.” BAIT AND SWITCH

Hello I have not taken the toll tag for my 8 days rentals. Is it possible to get the tolltag now?

Rambabu Konakanchi | Sep 10, 2021
Armando Brown | Sep 10, 2021

Correct. The unit has the option to activate. If in doubt call the agency. We didn't use it while in Miami. What we did was set our GPS on the phone to avoid toll route this way we were rooted to other highways or local streets

We recently rented a car at the Ft Lauderdale Budget Rental Car. We filled up the car and drove the 5 miles to the airport. When we received the charge on my husband's credit card, there was a $60+ charge for ten gallons of gas. I have the receipt

Cathy Walls | Jul 12, 2022
Darrin Deane | Jul 12, 2022

I've rented on several occasions and have never experienced that problem always from the FLL location. They actually check the gas right in from of you there. It has to be on full or over upon return, not close but on full the way it was during pickup. They actually tell you right on the contract that they going to rip you a new one with their own set of gas prices if it's not up to par!
