Great prices! How many days?

I agree and we almost always book Costco/Alamo and, unless the Budget price is significantly cheaper, will always go with Alamo.
Another problem we once had with Budget was we had the transponder set to off and planned to pay cash tolls and it didn't work. What a headache to resolve with that company! They finally did refund the $100 or whatever it ended up being.
We've GPS our way around toll roads any time we rent from Budget. It's a pain to go the roundabout way, but worth it lol.
Our rental is for 6 days. I ended up getting a Uni pass from cfxway.com for tolls. You do have to set up an account and put funds in it. Nice thing is that you pay discounted tolls.Great prices! How many days?

Mines solid at $810. Adding the 30 and 31st of Dec and January 9th. Over doubles my price!
Has anyone else had this problem with Budget FastBreak Lately at MCO? In my area they now got it where you get your car spot on the APP and you can even scan a bar code to get out the gate. I was hoping that MCO had this now also since that long wait I have seen before. With being a FastBreak member they charge your card the day of the trip and so even if I change to a different company day of most likely will have a large hold on my credit card for a few days. Trying to avoid this for sure.Do contract ID's and coupon codes for Alamo not exist anymore? I has some for earlier this year that no longer work and can't find anything that works.
I've whittled down my rental with Alamo from $440 to $299...6 days first week of the month. This is though Costco.
I just wanted to give a little warning for those booked with Budget. The counter at MCO can be an absolutely horrendous experience. We picked up a car there earlier this year and had to stand in line at the counter for more than 2 hours....I think it was actually close to 3 hours, can't remember exactly but from the time our flight landed to getting to our hotel was 4hr 45 min. They had closed the Fastbreak counter that day with no explanation so everyone was at the main counter. Their computer system is VERY old and slow and the staff thought it was a joke that they were making people wait so long. We always rent from Alamo but that time we were getting a one way rental out to the port. The price difference was $200. Had I known what could happen with Budget I would have gladly paid the $200. In fact, while standing in line I tried getting a car from the other companies but other people had done the same and there were no cars available with anyone. Since this happened to us I have read many similar stories. I know I will never rent from them again unless I'm arriving in the morning with no plans for the day....and the price would have to be that much better to justify wasting my time.
We had the app QR code, car location, and quick exit process at MCO with Budget FastBreak in January of this year. I've been told in this forum (a different thread) that the process has changed since then. Hopefully it will work for you the same as it did for us in January - it was the best rental car pickup process we've ever experienced!Has anyone else had this problem with Budget FastBreak Lately at MCO?

I have Fastbreak but like I said they had closed it. We dragged all our luggage out to the garage and then had to drag it all back in. There were only two staff working the counter inside while several others were hanging around talking. I was hoping that they had just relocated inside as it was evening but no. They were actually quite rude about me just asking about FB.We had the app QR code, car location, and quick exit process at MCO with Budget FastBreak in January of this year.

Please come back and post here, whatever your experience was!
That really does suck. I hope the FastBreak is working with the APP where you don't even need to stop at the booth or anything. When it works it really is the simplest rental car transaction possible.I have Fastbreak but like I said they had closed it.
