2 1/2 hours waiting in the line to get the Cars unacceptable drop off was very easyReviewed Apr 6 2025

The line to pick up your car in Fort Myers was over 2 hours long. I cancelled my rental and instead created one with Alamo that had only a short line. I was told the Budget line is often long at that location. There is no online checkin and quick pick up for Budget unless you do it well ahead of time. I even tried to join their rewards program while in line but it did not allow me to switch to a quick pick up. I recommend not using Budget at this location unless you are a rewards member and arrange for the quick pick up service. If you do, do not prepay so that you are stuck in a two hour line. Set it up so you can pay at arrival and are able to cancel if you face a long wait.Reviewed Mar 26 2025

The car rental pick up was atrocious. There was at least 100 people in line ahead of me and took more than an hour to get into a car. That’s unacceptable. The car itself was fine. The drop off was extremely easy.Reviewed Mar 19 2025

The pick-up line at RSW was horrendous. The Budget counter had 50 people deep and there was practically no one at the other companies. It was not staffed properly. That is terrible resource management.Reviewed Feb 17 2025
