I like that I can drop off at different location without any extra feesReviewed 20 Apr. 2023

Picking up was a painful experience. The line was extremely long, which is understandable considering it is near the cruise ship port. The building was hot and jammed pack with people. There was no space for clear line. It took over 2.5 hours to pick up a vehicle. They definitely needed more agents, and probably more agents getting the dropped off vehicles ready. My car was clean but I heard complaints around me of dirty cars. The agents were friendly, even under the circumstances and they allowed me to pick up a car even though my original booking was not at that location. I wouldn't pick up from this location again.Reviewed 6 Mar. 2023

We waited in line for 2 hours. Lots of people, lots of confusion. The staff seems very overworked and tired. They were doing the best they could but the process of picking up the car was horrible.Reviewed 16 Feb. 2023

Easy transactions but as always some “hidden” fees due to cruising and state laws. Was as advertised just not obviousReviewed 21 Jan. 2023

Pick up was a nightmare. Took over 90 minutes to line up and get a car. Took the Budget shuttle from the cruise port. It identified only as Budget and the driver didn't advise that there are 2 locations. Of course I was at the wrong location. Paid an additional fee so I could get a car after the longest wait. The guy behind the counter wanted me to buy the toll pass for $13 per day. Said there was no option of paying if I didn't have exact change and it would cost me $10 to $15 to get to Orlando from Port Canaveral, it cost me no more than $10 and each toll had a person that was there to give change. The toll from Disney to the airport $2.75. It would have cost an additional $70 had we bought the "toll plan" as recommended. If I spent $15, it would surprise me. Drop off was a breeze. Took all of 2 minutes and the interaction was pleasantReviewed 21 Oct. 2022

Very bad experience. Actually I would expect for compensation. I rented a car from budget three times in my vacation, in each time it was a bad experience. The worse was in Cape Canaveral. I had to spend hours- very expensive hours to get a car and thank to fix / change the car beacouse a problem in it. Also in Miami . I’m planning to write about it when I will arrive homeReviewed 10 Aug. 2022

We had to wait 1.5 hours to be picked up by the Budget shuttle and then had to wait another 2 hours at the Budget facility to get our car. We had a reservation and still had to stand in line for 2 hours to get the car. We had reserved a Ford Edge because that was the largest midsize SUV available when booking the reservation, and there were 5 of us with 7 pieces of luggage. When we finally got through the line to get our vehicle they gave us a Jeep and said that was the largest vehicle they had. Absolutely the worst rental experience I've ever had and I rent cars every week. I highly recommend seeking a rental elsewhere unless you have very low expectations, time to burn, and don't want to get what you pay for.Reviewed 26 Jun. 2022

Woman behind the desk in cape Canaveral was fantastic, we went to the wrong office, but still managed to help us out. She was on her own and had a few customers, but was well able for it. I would use them againReviewed 27 May 2022

We booked the same address we picked the car up from initially the week before. Somehow, in order to pick up at this address, it needs to be labeled as “Port Canaveral” and not “Cape Canaveral”. Same street, same number. But this budget charges $9.99 more for the “change” from one location to another. This is a scam and should be removed as a selection. They had us by the throat leaving us no option but to take a smaller car (we paid for a full size car but were told all they had was a Kia Forte for four people and luggage or no car at all) and the $9.99 charge. Also, the car was still dirty including an half empty open beer in my 11 year olds door cup holder and brown vomit on the interior roof. I have pictures of all these as well.Reviewed 5 Apr. 2022

Rented car from cruise port for day trip. Our flight left late that night. Flight got cancelled and we had to drive 10 hours home. The act of changing our short term one-way rental to a longer term one-way rental took 3 phone calls, 45 minutes on hold, and an additional tripling of our initial rate. The agent couldn’t tell me if the rate quoted was in addition to what I had already paid or not. Not very helpful. But I didn’t have a choice…we were stuck and needed to get home.Reviewed 3 Apr. 2022
