I chose the option to have toll charges covered and paid a daily flat fee for that. After returning the car, budget kept charging my card for toll charges.Reviewed 3 Oct 2026

Good to get a new, clean hybrid SUV. No upsell of other insurance for a change. The agent also greeted me “Hi fellow Gemini” when I showed my ID. Thank you!Reviewed 13 Sep 2026

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 8 Jun 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 22 May 2026
