The name was the pitch in 1958. Still is.
Morris Mirkin opened Budget in 1958 Los Angeles charging half the going desk rate — the brand has been the value row of the airport ever since (same group as Avis today). At FLL that means the leanest paid line in the building and a free fast lane called Fastbreak.

The 1958 idea Started in 1958 Los Angeles for the "budget-minded" renter — the name was the pitch, and it stuck for a reason.
Fastbreak, in one line Fastbreak is Budget's free fast lane: stored profile, skipped counter, e-receipts on return.
The FLL lot The FLL lot runs value-deep: compacts, intermediates, minivans and honest SUVs, priced to move.
Why the number stays lean The number you see is built lean — the trimmings stay optional instead of pre-loaded.
One-way Pick up at FLL and drop at MIA, Orlando or up the coast — the one-way fee prints inside the quote, not at the counter.
Florida tolls South Florida is cashless: e-Toll runs $7/day when triggered, or lean on Hola's cashback and skip the device entirely.

Budget Fastbreak: how it works
Fastbreak is the anti-program: nothing to earn, nothing to renew — a stored profile that turns the counter into scenery.
Join Budget Fastbreak
Free — one profile, stored once
- Licence and card stored once — the profile does the paperwork
- No minimums, no fee, nothing to renew
- Counter skip live at FLL from your first booking
Counter, skipped
from your very first booking
- Walk past the line where partner rates apply
- Add the number at Hola checkout — the skip attaches itself
- The exit booth glances at the licence; that's the whole ceremony
No tiers at all
the fast lane IS the perk
- E-receipts land automatically after every return
- No tiers to climb — the lane is the perk
- One profile, every Budget desk, sharpest line through
Benefits follow Budget's published Fastbreak terms and can change. Booking through Hola? Add your Fastbreak number at checkout — the skip applies where Budget honours partner rates.
