We are renting a car from Budget and have a PAT of 11-11:30. What time should we arrive at Budget? I'm not sure if there will be a long wait at Budget to get the shuttle to the port. Any advice?
We had a PAT of 11:30 but because of other issues we did not get to port till 1:30. But the one piece of advice no matter what time you get there is to drop everyone and the luggage off at the terminal and have one person take the rental back to Budget. It is a lot easier to get on a shuttle by yourself with no luggage then a crowd with luggage. Your party can check you in at the terminal as long as they have your passport. Just make sure you have your driver license with you so you can get into the terminal.When I dropped off the car at Budget at first the driver would not let me on because he said their was no more room mostly because of luggage issues. But since I had no luggage their was one seat available so he let me on. If I hadn't dropped my wife and luggage off at the terminal before hand we would of had to wait for the next shuttleWe are renting a car from Budget and have a PAT of 11-11:30.

This is what we intend to do our next cruise. No DCL transfer fees , no Budget office fiasco.We stayed at the Radisson which is in walking distance to budget and returned the car at 8:30 am then walked to the hotel and took the free shuttle.
How many miles is budget and Avis from the terminal??
Maybe 2 miles. I remember the shuttle ride was less then 10 minutes and that was with a drop off at the Carnival terminal before DCL terminal.How many miles is budget and Avis from the terminal??
