Book Budget car rentals in Fort Lauderdale

Cons: I searched for FLL car rentals (i.e. AT the airport) and thought that's what I was booking. As it turns out, Kayak gave me a listing for some other Ft. Lauderdale Budget Rent a Car. So here's how my experience went at the rental center. First of all, little to no air conditioning on a 90+ degree day. Wait in line for 20+ minutes. Once it's my turn, the emotionless, apathetic representative stares at me and doesn't call "next" so I just walk up to her at the desk. She says nothing for about 15 seconds then finally asks if I have a reservation. So finally the transaction begins. Zero friendliness or care from the representative. We get through to the point where they ask about insurance and she asks if I want liability or full coverage, as if those are the only options. I say I'll waive coverage and she just kind of grunts. We get to the point of the total amount and I see that I'm being charged a $95 day rate instead of $44. Going back to my first point, I was apparently at the wrong Budget, where I thought I had booked at the airport. Only at the point of me questioning this does the rep explain that I'm at the wrong place which means I'd have to pay a higher price. I explain the confusion and her solutions are that I can cancel the reservation or go to the other location. I ask where the other location is and she says she doesn't know. Super helpful. So I just paid the higher price since we're traveling with a dog and a 6-month-old and obviously don't want to attempt to find a way to some other random Ft. Lauderdale rental car location. Overall a terrible experience. I'll be taking this up with Budget but Kayak should also make it far clearer if a rental location is not at or near the terminal if a user is searching specifically for an airport code.

Cons: Takes awhile @ check-in then all was smooth.

Cons: Unnanounced surcharge

Cons: The staff at the airport in FLL certainly don't get in a hurry. We returned a local Budget rental and picked our one way rental up in the same place, and it took an hour to do so. While the employees talked among themselves and played on their phones, a long line of customers waited for them.

Cons: When we went to the counter there was no one there to assist us once again. We didn't wait quite as long as we did in Macon thankfully and the gentleman was courteous and served us quickly.

Cons: One hour line to get car at Fort Lauderdale. Line MUCH longer than any other agency

Cons: I reserved the car for a 9pm pick up and it wasn't ready until almost 10pm. The car died on us and we had trouble getting it started again. The agent at the desk was not friendly and when we dropped it off, we told the man that the car needed to be checked before it went out again because it kept wanting to stall on us when we slowed down and he put it right back in operation while we were standing there waiting to catch a shuttle to the cruise port.

Cons: I wish budget provided transportation to the Cruise terminal . It is literally a 7 minute drive from the airport. You have to consider the price of a taxi. Alamo provides free transportation. I will have to consider that next time a book a cruise.

Cons: Car smelled like vomit

Cons: Line moved slowly to get the vehicle - thankful it wasn't very long. Vehicle should have had a Sun Pass, when questioned at security check out of facility was told that it would just read the license plate. Did realize that toll charge was going to me more. When returned, I let them know and was told to dispute it when I got my final bill. I would have pushed for the Sun Pass prior to leaving facility.

Cons: Long wait at ticket counter

Cons: It was horrible and late at night. They did not have enough staff so the line moved VERY slowly. Finally when they processed my reservation, they sent me to the garage, but my car was not there. I waited in the garage for another half hour until they brought me a car!

Cons: When we got our car, and the gas tank was less than 3/4 full with gas. We drove 4 miles to our hotel in Miami, and then 28 miles to Fort Lauderdale airport. The gas gauge did not move at all, but we were informed that we would be charged per gallon for it not being full. The gentleman at at Fort Lauderdale airport was not very polite about it but then saw how few miles we drove and charged us $15 for the gas and a $10 late fee, even though we returned it 20 min before it was due back on our reservation.

Cons: The extremely long wait (easily over an hr.)when picking the car up at Port Everglades cruise port in Ft. Lauderdale.

Cons: I rented a vehicle for one day. I picked it up in Ft Lauderdale, and dropped it off the next morning in Orlando. I picked it up with 1/2 tank of gas, they told me to just make sure it has 1\2 tank when returned, which I did. I was told they would note it in their computer, and there would be no problems. When I returned it they tried to make me pay $9.50 a gallon because the tank wasn't full. Tried to call the budget rental in Ft Lauderdale for an hour during business hours and it just rang each time but no answer. Budget in Orlando had no solutions other than to have me pay. Terrible customer service!

Cons: The car was raggedy and bootleg. The radio didn't work, the ac didn't always work and I had to keep stopping to put air in my tire

Cons: Billing problem with your quote vs budget invoicing. Should get credit to straighten.it out. Will let you know. Had to wait 1/2hr to straighten out.

Cons: There was a long delay when I picked up the car and very few options were available at 1 AM. I know that the hour of arrival did not help with options but the staff was very shorthanded at the time.

Cons: Had to wait a bit to get car assigned.

Cons: The fact I had to almost wait a hour to an hour and half. But since I didn't have to wait. There aren't any complaints here.

Cons: The attendant at the rental return was rude.

Cons: The car worked fine, but the price was a little steep for a 4 hour rental to drive across the state. Budget tends to have issues appropriately staffing their counters to get people quickly through the process and it took a surprisingly long time to get through the 4 groups ahead of me in line.

Cons: I had to wait in line to turn the car in. This step seemed unnecessary, waiting in line was the time consuming part, checking out took 1 minute.

Cons: 304 $ 3 day 47$ a day

Cons: see above

Cons: BUT we thought we would pick it up at the airport!! that is what we plugged in on kayak! when we got there, they said the rental was for the city of ft Lauderdale, not the airport! they would not provide a shuttle to the rental office!! we paid $35 for a taxi!! I will think long and hard about using kayak or budget again!

Cons: Pickup was a nightmare. Lines were extremely long and the whole process added about 2 hours to my trip! I requested 6 PM pick up but it turned out the branch I was sent to you was closing at 6 PM so I had to call to change the pick up location which wasn't easy as you would hope for and cost me extra money! The car smelled like ashtray although it was supposed to be a non-smoking car.

Cons: My car wasn't ready at the promised time. As a result, I had to come back and pick it up. Just thankful that I was able to get a car.

Cons: I booked early to save time and money. When I got there the long was so long, it was at least an an hour wait. I had to cancel my reservation. I had a very tight schedule and could not wait. Got a car through Thrifty instead and was on the road within 10 minutes.

Cons: We had to trust waze to get us there. It seemed wrong but at the last minute signs started to show up. A lot of this is do to the airport layout. A bus to terminal was a inconvenience. Allow a little extra time to make this less stressful.

Cons: More expensive than other car rental places. The car I rented out ended up breaking down half way through the rental, which ruined my plans for the day. They picked it up but we're unable to send a new one so I had to ride with the tow truck driver all the way to the airport to pick up another car. Not a pleasant experience.

Cons: I showed up with my reservation n was told they were out of cars n two other people were waiting 3 hours for a car

Cons: Everything. Literally, everything.

Cons: I asked to rent at FT Lauderdale airport.......however, you did not schedule me there. You scheduled my pick up in the heart of Ft Lauderdale, but that is NOT WHAT I REQUESTED. Then I had all kinds of troubles and it ended up costing me a lot more money. The rental companies told me not to book through you as you "do that a lot to make it look like a better deal" . I used you once and that is more than I should have

Cons: Took me a while to figure out how to open the gas tank door. A little run down on features might have been nice.

Cons: Poor choice of vehicles... 2, a Mazda van or Mitsubishi Lancer... Why say that you feature Hyundai vehicles (which we would be happy with) and have none. Took the Lancer which was ok, good on gas, but a cheap feeling econo-car...meh. Have received much nicer vehicles renting from off airport rental companies, especially for a 4 week rental.

Cons: Non smoking car smelled of smoke Told car would have no more than 8000 miles had 27000 Service light and tire pressure were a problem Waited so long for the car that wasn't clean Impossible to get anyone on the phone when tire pressure and service light went on

Cons: it wasn't clean

Cons: The price when I went to pick up the car was lower than what I prepaid. They were not able to help me, so I had to call customer service, and wait about 20 minutes on the phone for a supervisor to cancel the existing reservation.

Cons: Nice people

Cons: Agent tricked me that car was cheaper than original booking. He also forced me to take pip insurance.

Cons: Everything seemed too good to be true, because it was. I reserved the car, from Nov 12, at midnight. When I go to budget, the reservation was made for the 13.

Cons: It said the rental place was at the airport termial online when I made the reservation. It was not. In fact, it was 20 minutes away. It was very frustrating and aggrivating to have to get a cab and have to pay more money.

Cons: not a thing
