Is this a personal car or a rental/hire? If it's a hire, just return it when you get to Miami and get another rental if needed when you return.

 

If it's your personal car, perhaps paring in one of the park and fly lots up by the airport and taking a cab to the hotel would be an option.

Hi rental for five days,a caddy,we will use the car on a daily basis.

I had a look on google seems to be places that you can park at a fraction of the price the hotel wants to charge.

Why would you pay the rental fee and the parking fee to keep the rental while you are cruising? Turn it in the night before the cruise and get another rental when you return.

If you are staying right downtown you can use the free Metro mover or trolley in the area

Not sure where you would be driving to that a car is required ..

 

I would stay outside of the downtown core you may find places with free parking

Many hotels in North America do not charge for parking, but many do. Although the rate is high, this is not unusual. It is what it is - sorry you are angry.

Not actually at the port though, right? No rental car company has a facility within the Port of Miami, just to help you with your planning. :)

I assume close to the port,the booking agent said we could drop off at the port,possibly outside port ??

I will check with them where we drop car off

Many hotels in big cities charge parking fees.......it's not unusual!

 

If you have a rental car, pay the hotel fees while you're using the car, but return it before the cruise.....have the rental company take you to the ship!
