When we arrived at Budget, the vehicle we had reserved—or even a similar one—was not available. Despite the situation, the attendant was very helpful and offered us the option of having a new vehicle brought to the location, though we would have had to wait an hour beyond our scheduled pickup time. The problem was that we already had a planned itinerary, and this caused a major delay. However, I acknowledge that the attendant did their best, and the fault lay entirely with Budget. We had another unfortunate experience with Budget in Miami, and we will definitely never book with Budget again!Reviewed Jun 8 2026

We waited for over an hour and a half in line and still hadn't even made it to the counter. People who did make it, had to wait almost an hour for their car to be be available. We ended up taking an Uber to our event. Otherwise we would have missed it. Definitely do not recommend that office.Reviewed May 22 2026
