Budget Car Rental

Does Budget Car Rental have the "skip the line" for express members? I know only certain locations offer it.

Yes, Budget Car Rental offers an "Express" program for members, which can help you skip the lines at certain locations. This program is part of their FastBreak service, which allows members to bypass the usual counter process and head straight to their vehicle. However, as you mentioned, this service is available only at specific locations.

Key Points about Budget's Express/Skip the Line Program:

  • Express Members: Members of the FastBreak program can typically skip the line and head directly to the car rental lot, saving time and avoiding waiting in line at the counter. Your reservation and payment are handled online, and you'll be given a choice of vehicles when you arrive.
  • Available Locations: Not all Budget locations offer the FastBreak service. It’s typically available at larger airport locations or major cities, but it’s always a good idea to check with the specific location you’ll be renting from to confirm whether they offer this service.
  • Eligibility: To access FastBreak, you'll need to sign up for Budget's loyalty program (which is free). Once you're enrolled, you can benefit from skipping the line on all your rentals at participating locations.
  • Check In Online: Budget allows FastBreak members to check in online before picking up their car, which can streamline the process even further and reduce time spent at the counter.

If you're renting from a location that doesn't participate in FastBreak, you may still experience shorter wait times or be eligible for express service, depending on the time of day or how busy the location is. It’s always a good idea to confirm with the specific location to avoid any surprises.

In general, if you’re looking for quick service, joining Budget's FastBreak program can be a good move, especially at locations where the program is available. This will help you save time and make your car rental experience more efficient.
