If that's what it takes to get you home...I had a similar issue with American and took a delta flight home super late that night which they picked up plus got a credit.

Then you are screwed. As they say - you get what you pay for.
They might put you up in a motel 6 if you are lucky

No idea. At first, it was deplayed 30 minutes. Then it was delayed 2 more hours. Then cancelled.
On the positive side, at least I'm not here all night and then canceled.

Will be curious on the outcome.
Wife wanted to book 4 flights to Disney in November on spirit and i nixed it and just used my miles for the flights.
She didn't believe me when I said spirit, while cheap doesn't really have much to offer when something like this happens.
They are fighting her on refunding the rental car and hotel...
Saying no flights tomorrow (bs)...
Still in line for the counter person.
Wife is still on phone with them.

Cool. Good luck.
What airport?
What airport?
Rsw (fort myers) to acy (atlantic city)
Driving it would be 18 hours or so. No, not doing that.

Spirit Airlines is literally the worst.

ooh that is rough since ACY doesn't have a ton of flights - no offer to at least get you to Philly?

Tried but no luck. Best option was same flight but Saturday night. Not really worth it.
We got a flight refund. Budget refunded me the complete rental car fee. Hotel just charged us for tonight (I don't blame them). I just need to get that refunded from spirit now.
All other flights are insanely expensive now so we're changing our plans.
Thanks for all the advice and for listening.

Sadly that is what you need when flying them - luck. However eventually the house wins.
I would sue as much as I could sue. They should pay for a weekly rental car and a suite.

you'll be lucky if they don't charge you for waiting in line. plus any hourly wages they have to pay anyone while you wait in line. plus for every tile you stand on, while in line, .50. if you want to sit down at any time, $10. everytime you sit down, $10. are the lights on? $5. ad nauseum

Have to agree with the consensus here. Your dealing with a discounted airline who probably has it written within their airline contract as to the limits for recourse are in situations your currently dealing with.

Raise a fuss until one their representatives gets fed up and drags you away kicking and screaming 
-- have your wife film it and then post it on social media. Congrats you just hit the jackpot!!!

UPDATE:
As I mentioned earlier, I was able to get pretty much everything refunded directly through the rental car agency (props to Budget) and through the hotel.
Regarding Spirit, they emailed us this morning saying "I'm sorry" and included a $50 voucher each for my wife and I. I will still try to recoup the 1 night of hotel expense that I couldn't get refunded. Sounds like i have to go to Spirit's website and submit some stuff.
Just staying positive that it wasn't a huge or expensive event we are missing (wedding, funeral, cruise, etc.).
Oh well. I'm currently sitting on Bonita Beach in lovely Bonita Springs. Sounds like it's going to be a cool, possibly rainy weekend in southern NJ. Life goes on.
