Fastbreak is Budget Rent a Car’s free rewards program. Fastbreak allows members to bypass the regular check-in and checkout processes. As a member with a booked reservation can quickly show their valid license to pick up the keys to their rental, and they can simply return it to the designated spot. When you do this, your receipt will be delivered via email. 

With Fastbreak, you don’t receive points towards free rentals. However, you will occasionally receive a $25 off voucher after two rentals. This shouldn’t be a deterrent for infrequent renters.

Budget is a major car rental company with more than 1,300 locations in the U.S. alone and even more abroad. While many locations are at airports, they also have many options available in neighborhoods. 

Airport locations are convenient, however many renters avoid booking car rentals at airport locations, as they are subject to additional taxes and fees.

Budget offers a pick up service. That means that an agent will collect you from your hotel or home and drive you to the office to complete your checkout. It is convenient and saves on taxi fares.
