Beware Of Budget Fastbreak

I don't normally rant but I give up on Budget's Fastbreak... arrived in MCO at 23:22 hrs and promptly went out the door to the Budget Fastbreak counter in the parking lot. Closed, shut down, nada. Go back into the terminal and 43 people in line with 3 clerks taking 10 min. for each. With Budget's "we're gonna charge you if you cancel" policy, getting out of line and going to a competitor was not an option. One and half hours later - I get my car.

Apparently, MCO Fastbreak is NOT 24 hours as stated on my confirmation - the hours are 6AM to 12 midnight (or thereabouts, according to the clerk). With 10 or more flights arriving at MCO around 23:00, Budget shuts down and goes to the skeleton crew with an attitude...never an apology.

Ironically, my company was solicited by Budget to enroll in Fastbreak for the convenience of our employees...back to the Emerald Aisle for us!
