Car Rental

[Randus62]

We are crusing on the Sky out of the Port of Miami this month. We wanted to rent a car at the end of the cruise. Does anyone know of a car rental agency that will pick you up at the port? Hertz will drop you off at the port, but don't do pick ups.

Alamo reportedly has a shuttle that will transport you back to their facility near MIA. Good luck! :)

Ditto for the Alamo pick up. If you search the Florida Departures, you'll find some cruisers who recently used the service.

Interestingly, I had a rental booked for Alamo out of PBI, with a drop off at FLL prior to our cruise. I`m not sure why, but early this morning, I went to their site and checked prices. Much to my surprise, when I clicked on minivan, it said base rate was $28 and change. My confirmed reservation for mini-van was $77 plus taxes and fees. So I made a second reservation, and double and triple checked my info to make sure I wasn`t missing something. Total price came up as $36 instead of the $98 or so the other reservation was. Not sure why, but the minivans and cars are all cheap, while the various SUV and crossovers are up. Maybe it`s just a PBI thing, I don`t know, but anyone looking at or booked with Alamo should have a check of their prices right now.

I can understand the need to save money, but for my dollar, I would just taxi to the Hertz or Avis rental desks in downtown. Its $10 +/- by cab, and usually you get a better rate than at the airport site. It seems like a waste to me to get all the way to airport to get a car IMHO.
