tiffnco Posted March 30, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi all, I will be posting this same question on the FL board, but figured this one is a bit more active and might give me a faster result! :rolleyes: I will be flying into MIA, renting a car, picking up some friends at FLL and then we're heading to Boca for the night. The next day we're getting up and heading to our ship in FLL. I'd like to do a one-way rental, so I won't need to go back to an airport to return the car. Do you know of any locations close to the FLL port that would make this possible? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLaLuvlee Posted March 30, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The airport and port are VERY close here in FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffnco Posted March 30, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted March 30, 2010 So are you saying it's best to just return the car at the FLL airport and then get a cab over to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodger Posted March 30, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I have had good success with Budget, picking up a car at the airport and returning it to their SE17th Street location. They will shuttle you to the pier. Bodger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJJ Posted March 30, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The easiest thing to do is return the car at FLL, then either take the rental car agency shuttle to the port or a cab. The port is five minutes from FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted March 30, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The easiest thing to do is return the car at FLL, then either take the rental car agency shuttle to the port or a cab. The port is five minutes from FLL. They no longer do shuttle to and from the airport. But if you rent Thrifty, they have a facility right outside the gates and will shuttle you in.

Most of the major rental car corps don't have drop charges for picking up at one location and dropping off at another location within FL. So, you can rent at MIA, do your business, and drop off at FLL. Depending on the company, some have pier drop off. If that doesn't work, drop your party at the pier and return the car, and cab back to the pier. It's $15 to $18 ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fla jack Posted March 30, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thrifty & Budget have a location (shared) right outside the port entrance at US 1 & SR 84 with a free shuttle to the pier. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b72bronc Posted March 30, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I will be renting a car from Alamo in South Beach and dropping it off at FLL. Alamo has a shuttle to Port Eveglades leaving at noon until 5. We will drive from Miami to Fll. and drop the car off at the airport and the shuttle is free.

pboedeker Posted March 30, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I stood outside of Berth 19 at Port Everglades on Mar. 20th and watched 3 buses from the rental center at FLL pick up passengers for the ride to FLL. I know that some car rental companies are included in that service, but not all. We rented, that same day, from the Thrifty/Budget location mentioned previously. Two notes: their shuttle pickup is slow and their counter service is even slower! We returned that car to FLL. No additional charge for that drop and the service was instantaneous at the airport.

goldencruiser Posted March 31, 2010 #13 Share Posted March 31, 2010 We just rented from Dollar and they have a shuttle to/from airport to pier. The FLL airport is very close to the pier. If you didn't want to wait for a shuttle a cab is $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
