Budget Car Rental

[CaliforniaDreaming]

Has anyone rented from Budget lately? How was your experience? Did you get a good car? How were the lines? I found an okay rate with them for a Lincoln Town Car or similar and a Ford Explorer or similar. What types of cars have you gotten with these car types? I'd really love the Town Car!

Thanks!

We've used Budget before, in Phoenix and Las Vegas without any problems. I think they're off site in Orlando though, aren't they? We're not arriving until 9:10 PM ET, I have a good price with National, but have been checking other airport locations.

Budget is onsite at Orlando Airport. We rented a Ford Expedition from them two years ago and got just that. I just booked a F-150 Crew Cab with them for our April trip. They are running an internet special on them at their website. Regular price was $49.99 + tax and fees. I booked for $34.99 + tax and fees. That is per day.

Thanks for all the replies. I wish they still rented out the Expeditions!

Anyone else?

One of my co-workers did the Ford Ranger special a few weeks ago. They were out of the small rangers so she wound up with this huge truck that could seat 4. She loved it!
