Budget (Fastbreak) at MCO Airport?

[CaliforniaDreaming]

Hi all. We're renting from Budget on our next trip, and are Fastbreak members. Do we go to the counter or out to the garage to get the keys? We'll be arriving on side A. Also, we have a luxury car booked, has anyone gotten anything other than the Lincoln Towncar?

Thanks.

Not an answer, but more of a piggy back question. When I made my Budget reservation, I called and had the FB # added so we could get out of their quickly. At the reservation time a coupon appeared for one free day in addition to the good rate. So, do we have to go to the counter now and get in line, or can they take car of it outside as we show the license to leave?

I'll be able to tell you the answer on Sat. morning!

In June of 2003 I rented from Budget....not knowing about the "go directly to the garage" thingy...I stood in line...untill I got up near the front and saw this board with my name on it (along with others) that I was to proceed to the garage directly. After waiting almost 30 minutes in line already!!
So, I guess the answer is Yes, proceed to the garage and do not stop at the counter...there was a small Kiosk type thingy in the garage...that's where I gave my license etc to the gal behind the window. Unless they've changed it??

Pooh's Pal: Did the garage kiosk seem to have a computer system in it? I guess if you are showing ID there, they must. Could I give them my coupon out there, do you think? Honestly, a free day isn't worth 30 minutes of waiting, in this instance, but I'd sure like my free day if I can get it quickly.

And, those of you who are going soon, if you possibly see the luxury car section, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know what makes/models (and, maybe color selection?) was/is available.

Thanks so much!

I'm sorry...I actually had booked Avis this trip, not Budget!
But I too have noticed the sign board so I think that's what you look at and then go into the garage for your vehicle.
