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. For those that need to return their vehicles outside of this time, you can do so using the key box provided. Ensure you have read your policy and filled the tank up, if required, and left the vehicle clean.

First of all, you can make sure your vehicles are serviced correctly. Because the van that we had needed a front end Alignment. Driven was a little hard to keep inside the lane will driving. We were swerving in between the lines Budget you need to make sure all of your vehicle all serviced before you rent them out because someone my have a accident because of your neglect of service to your vehicle. But Thanks be to God we made it home safe.Reviewed 16 June 2025

I feel robe by KAYAK, me emails from Kayak, and CONFIRMATION of my rental was a CHEVY TAHOE.... when I arrive to pick my Tahoe BUDGET said that this WAS NOT THE RESERVATION o THE CLASS of CAR that my KAYAK reservation said. I did show them your email, THEY DIDNT care!! I am asking for a FULL REFUND, and also would like to hear from a SUPERVISOR since I took your marketing email that SPECIFICLLY said that I will get a CHEVY TAHOE and BUDGET o KAYAY DINDT comply with what the ask for.... I this is of great matter to me, since I am a 6F 4" heavy man, so a TAHOE does get me interested, when yo send a publicity!! I expect to hear from a Superior, and have a REFUND, the rented me a Ford Explorer, wich had to change since it look old, and was dirty, rented a KIA Telluride wich it is not close the same thing as a Chevy Tahoe.

The gal at the counter in Miami was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately I don't remember her name. Only that she was from Jamaica.Reviewed 21 Apr 2025

Pickup counter was understaffed and slow for the volume of customers needing assistance. A few parties in front of me needed attention from multiple employees to resolve their issues, further slowing down the process for everyone. No efficiency or priority for customers who had pre-checked in - everyone had to wait the same.Reviewed 24 Feb 2025

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
