Budget stuck it to everyone with the snow storm, initially tried to over charge us, dropped it off and no one was there to drop of the keys or tell us where to park it.Reviewed 24 Jan 2025

A total nightmare it started with the very rude woman at the counter at budget Ft. Lauderdale airport. Then my grandson got in and sat on gym that was in a rear seat so van was not cleaned out. Wiper blades wore out would not clean window off at all. Kept getting a message that oil level was low the fan switch for the heater only worked on high and had to keep messing with it to keep it running. Then when we dropped Van off we were a little late 30 minutes but it was because of snow storm and they said don’t worry about it but then charged me for an extra hour anyway. Then charged for fuel but it was on full and had just stopped and filled it up 5 miles from airport. I would definitely never use budget ever againReviewed 12 Jan 2025

The expérience with budget itself was really good. The pick up / drop off went smoothly and pleasant. However, we rented a Ford mustang convertible and the inside car smell weed smoke . Also, it was not 100% clean.Reviewed 27 June 2024

We arrived to the Budget Rental in the Miami Airport to a very long line for our rental pickup. The line moved very slowly and added over an hour to our long travel day. We won’t be using Budget again. The other rental businesses seemed to be properly staffed and taking care of their customers very quickly. We were very frustrated with your company.Reviewed 30 Apr 2024

Even though it states otherwise on the Budget website i could not use a debit card to put down as a deposit on a convertible even though I had booked it online very disappointing after waiting more than a hr in line . Staff was not very clear about Toll charges and didn’t explain you could buy a pass elsewhere .Reviewed 16 Feb 2024

Top tips for hiring a car from Budget at Miami Airport

  • Miami is a busy city with a great public transport setup; however, you’ll sometimes need to change from a train to a bus to get to your destination. Budget car hire at Miami Airport (MIA) provides you with enhanced flexibility, so you don’t have to rely on public transport timetables.
  • Miami Airport is around 10 miles from the centre of the city. You’ll find a Budget branch in the Rental Car Centre at the terminal. To get to the office you should follow signs to the MIA Mover, which is on Level 3 of the terminal. Then take the train to MIC Station and follow signs to the branch. You must be at least 21 to get a car hire in Miami with those under 25 being subject to a surcharge.
  • When you travel from Miami Airport, everyone in the car needs to be wearing their seat belt. If you’re with a child that is five or younger they must also be in a suitable booster seat. If you want to use your phone in the car, you must ensure it is connected to a hands-free system. It’s illegal to drink and drive in the U.S. and if you’re caught you will be prosecuted accordingly. Emergency vehicles with their lights on or sirens flashing must be given right of way. Remember to drive on the right side of the road, which is the opposite of the U.K.
  • You should return your Budget hire car to the same place you collected it from, which is the Car Rental Centre. This company is open from 5:00 am to 1:00 am every day of the week.
