Book Budget car rentals in Miami

• What is the best location for me to pick up my car rental in Miami?

  One of the reasons that so many customers book Budget car rentals in Miami is because the company offers several locations where you can pick up a rental car. So for example, if you have already flown into the Miami International Airport (MIA) and headed down to the beautiful South Beach area and then decide you want to pick up a rental car, you do not need to go all the way back to the airport to do so. Budget offers a location in downtown Miami right on SW. 2nd St.

• What type of parking is available in the central Miami area after I rent my car?

  While there are plenty of spots in the Miami area that can be quite busy and can be difficult to find a parking space in, there are still plenty of metered spots you can choose from. One of the great things about parking on the street in Miami is that rates are generally quite low and usually are around $1 per hour. The maximum amount of time you can park in these meter spots can vary from place to place. As an alternative to parking in a metered spot, there are quite a few parking garages and surface lots that can offer you the convenience of staying longer in one location.

• What are some good choices for day trips in my rental car from Miami?

  Because southern Florida is such a popular destination for visitors, there are plenty of places where you can take your rental car for an afternoon of adventure and fun. Some of these places include the amazing Everglades National Park, the Biscayne Beach National Park, or cities like Marathon in Naples. If you're looking for a full day of adventure in your car rental, why not head south from Miami along historic Highway 1 and make the trip down to the tip of Florida and the Key West area.

we had to switch the car 3 times in the pick up area: 1) side and back doors did not open, could not load luggage onto back as a result 2) got a different car, but all rows of sits, but no room for luggage, as requested 3) as requested all these going back and forth to office took at least an extra hour at pick up, not as expected from a respectable agency as Budget...Reviewed 25 Mar 2026

Staff was uninformed, unhelpful, and rude. They couldn’t answer basic questions about the EV rental—such as what type of charging port the car uses, how much charge it would have at pickup, or how much was required upon return. I picked up the rental at 1 a.m., and these were important details to know. Extremely poor experience at the MIA counter and at the gate leaving the rental place.Reviewed 23 Oct 2025

Had reservation at 8am on July 30th, after been on 12 hour flight with my 11 year old son had to wait over one hour in line with only 9 people ahead of me. Seemed like they didn't have enough cars available, when my turn finally came the clerk lady was very rude, seemed like she was aggravated from the previous costumers whom also had to wait very long time, she gave me electric car and when I asked if it is fully charged ( just flew for so long and waited in line very long time didn't not want to wait for it to charge since it takes some time) she told me: you get what you paid for!!when I asked why was she treating me like that she said to me: do you want your car or not? Wow, that was some experience for me, NEVER again with Budget.Reviewed 4 Aug 2025
