Tell me about Budget Fastbreak.

[Mickeygolf]

We've rented from Budget at Sanford but never at MCO. How does the Fastbreak service work there? Do we go straight to the garage like you do for National or is there a separate line for Fastbreak members in the airport?

And how does it work in reverse for the return of the car? We're using Budget for one-way rentals to the port and then back after our cruise and trying to figure out timing for our hotel and things like that. I've heard it's very easy once we get to the Budget rental at the port, but haven't seen a lot of information about the Budget at MCO other than the lines are huge inside the airport.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

You go to the garage kiosk, skip the terminal line at MCO.

Yep, very easy pick-up process.

On return you just follow the Rental Car Return directional signs to the garage, then follow the signs for the Budget drop-off area and pull up (likely) behind other vehicles being returned. A Budget employee will come over to check in the car, give you your receipt and send you on your way.

Yep, that easy.

You've done the absolutely best thing that an occasional car renter can do to speed the rental purchase along by joining the rental company's "frequent renter" program. Whether it's Budget's Fastbreak, Dollar's DollarExpress, Alamo's Insiders, Avis' Wizard, Thrifty's Blue Chip, National's Emerald Club, Hertz's #1 Club or any others that I'm not remembering, these programs are very customer friendly and turn an otherwise lengthy process into something that's quick and easy.

Enjoy your drive!

If I can ask another Fastbreak (at MCO) question.
This is my first time using Budget (and Fastbreak). I read that the Fastbreak card would arrive 2 weeks after booking, but the Budget rep told me I pickup the card at the kiosk in the parking garage.
When arriving at the kiosk ,do I simply show my licence and they will give me a set of keys?.......or is it like Alamo and National where you can pick your car ?
Thanks
