willow0325 Posted March 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I thought I had read that there is a Hertz shuttle from the Miami airport to POM. We're flying into Ft Lauderdale, staying in Lauderdale for one night and then cruising out of POM. We thought a 1 day car rental might be less expensive than a taxi or even car service. Please share your thoughts and experiences. Thanks so much and happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Not from MIA - Hertz shuttles to POM from it's downtown Miami location. From MIA National, Alamo, & Thrifty offer POM shuttles. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow0325 Posted March 5, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Good morning, John. Thanks for the reply! Do you know the location of the Hertz location in downtown that has the shuttle? There are so many listed on the Hertz website -- want to be sure I select the right one! Thanks again so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willow0325 Posted March 5, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted March 5, 2013 When I look up that address, the website says: PLEASE NOTE: There is not a vehicle rental office at this location. This vehicle may need to be coordinated for pick-up and/or drop-off. Sounds like we wouldn't be able to drop off the car there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathyCruises Posted March 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2013 We did the same thing, stayed in FLL. The next morning we took the hotel shuttle back to FLL and then took SAS right from FLL straight to POM. I think LOTS of people do this. Have you considered that rather than renting a car for the 30 minute drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybeedee619 Posted March 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I had a reservation for 1-DAY rental the day of disembarkation. I was assured that Hertz would pick up at POM and transport me to their DT location to pick up the car. No shuttle came. Finally one of the other rental co. Gave us a ride to Hertz. 20 people were waiting in the office. We could maybe get a car after everyone else! We could leav our luggage and come back. We only needed a car for 8 hours. We did not want to spend a day in the Hertz office. We took a taxi to MIA. We rented a car from another co. at sky-high rates, plus $40 for tipping the shuttle and taxi plus tip. What choice did we have? Hertz never responded to my communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I do have hertz Giold). Is there a fee or any restrictions to enter port area to drop off or pick up ppl in your party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinsusin Posted March 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Needed a car post cruise to drive to PBI- We made the mistake of reserving with Hertz- usually have good experiences with them and they do have a free shuttle which picks up at POM to the downtown location. Waited about 20 min for the shuttle but well over 1 hour in line at the office for a car. Very disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
