Cheap Car Rentals in Idlewyld, Fort Lauderdale

The booking was not at the airport. Couldn’t switch without a big fee increase. Went with another carrier

Car was ready. No issues at all. Wasn’t aware of the $50 a day deposit hold on car. But everything else was amazing.

Waited in line for an hour and a half to get my rental car. Only one person working the entire office. He would leave the office to get each rental car out of the parking garage to bring it to the customer. When I finally got my rental, it smelled like dog, had dog fur all in it, and a lot of beach sand. I hadn’t even looked over the van yet and the agent had already ran back inside to help the next customer. I was stuck with it because I knew that he wasn’t going to clean it and there wasn’t anything left.

The two people that run the that location are incredibly unprofessional. They weren’t at the desk when I arrived, they left cell phone numbers to call. I called Nichola, she had a horrible attitude and said sorry, call one of the other numbers, I’m not working today. I called the other number for Jack. Got his voicemail several times in a row. He finally called me back after I asked for help from the hotel staff. He sounded like he was at a party as someone was screaming happy birthday in the background. After about 30 or 40 min of waiting, Jack finally arrived. He didn’t have my car ready, he was hunting through a huge ring of keys. He ended up sticking me in a car that was completely filthy, dirty, smelled bad…. I ended up stopping at Walgreens and buying Windex to clean the car out because it was so nasty. I’ll never rent from this location or likely even from Budget again. Do yourself a favor and stick with Enterprise. I’ve never had trouble with Enterprise and they actually pick you up. Good luck if you’re dealing with this clown show.

Car was excellent. Car only had 1/4 tank of gas at pickup. Car had not been cleaned out - totally covered in dog hair.

We called about arriving 10min late, but they still didn't hold the car!
