Book Budget car hires at Orlando Airport

• Where will I find the Budget car hire counter at Orlando Airport?

  Bear in mind that there are three terminals at the airport. From Terminals A and B, you'll follow the overhead signs leading you to Level 1 Ground Transportation, where you'll find the counter. If you land at Terminal C, catch the free shuttle from C17. Budget cars are situated in the rental parking garage on the second level across from the Budget car hire counter. Budget counters are open 24/7, so you don't have to worry about late pick-ups or late returns.

• What documents do I need to pick up my car hire at the airport?

  You will only be able to hire a car if you're 21 or older and you're likely to pay a young driver surcharge if you're younger than 25. If you've booked online, keep your confirmation email handy and make sure that the same credit card used and card owner are both present. You'll need a valid US driving license or an international driving license, and you'll need a valid form of identification. If there is more than one driver, each driver will need a valid ID and license and each name must be added to the contract for insurance purposes.

• What type of vehicles does Budget offer at Orlando Airport?

  As mentioned, Budget has one of the largest fleets available in the country, so you'll have a wide variety to choose from. Some of the most popular options for families are larger SUVs or 4x4s, especially for those travelling with their families. If you're in Florida during the summer, consider booking a convertible through Budget to let your hair down a bit. Budget also offers hybrid and electric vehicles for those looking to be more sustainable. If you're travelling on your own or with one passenger, consider choosing a compact model. They're easier to navigate in heavy traffic and lighter on fuel.

There was only one agent and the wait was three hours to pickup the car. I may never rent from Budget again.Reviewed 28 July 2025

Only one employee was working the counter at MCO, while there was a massive lineup of customers when I was waiting to pickup my rental. I waited for over 2-hours in the evening. A second employee arrived just as I reached the front of the line. The car’s engine light was on when I picked it up, and when I asked the garage attendant about swapping a vehicle, they said we’d have to go to the desk inside the terminal again - my family and I could not even think about spending more time trying to get on the road so we just drove away with the engine light on in our original vehicle. The fastbreak account option seemed like it may be a good solution to skipping the lineup, but the booking had to be made through that account and I didn’t know about it until it was too late. Next time, I will explore booking through fastbreak.Reviewed 17 July 2025

The Tesla 3 model I got ended up being infested with roaches. Luckily roadside came and picked the vehicle up. Customer service was great but this still caused a inconvenience since we had to wash all of our clothes and bags that were left in the car during our day at DisneyReviewed 15 May 2025

We could not get our car from budget and had to use Avis. Which is owned by the same company. However, we were lied to and told if we didn’t fill our tank upon return, we would be charged the normal gallon rate for gas. We ended up being charged $9 a gallon. This is extreme price gouging, and we will be reporting it. Upon arrival to return our car, they told us it’s normal gas prices to refill or we would’ve went back and filled the tank. We simply missed the gas exit.Reviewed 19 Mar 2025

The check in agent added protection to my vehicle without my knowledge. Check in line was a mess. It was clear they were disorganizedReviewed 25 Feb 2025

Friendly staff. Easy process to rent and return. The last time I rented at MCO, I dealt with two companies that just plainly “ripped me off” and misrepresented what they were offering. So glad to work with Budget, and know that not all car rental places at MCO are scamming customers.Reviewed 6 Feb 2025

Pickup took forever like almost an hour waiting in line and there was literally only 1 agent and the other left for a break with a huge lineup. Then they didn’t even ask me if I wanted to opt in for tolls and just told me I was all set for tolls which they charged me $15 per day. I wouldn’t have spent anywhere near that much in tolls. Same with gas where the agent didn’t explain how it worked and I ended up getting charged a full tank of gas for nothing as well.Reviewed 1 Feb 2025
