Yayamama77 Posted June 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I am looking to rent a car immediately after disembarking from my cruise. Which rental agency is the closest or what is the best way to go about this? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatchesJ72 Posted June 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Unless I'm wrong, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong as it's been a while since we sailed out of Fort Lauderdale, there's a shuttle service to the car rentals near the port.

virginiab Posted June 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The port is practically AT the airport, so you can look at all the car rental companies at the airport. There should be shuttles from port to the car rental places at the airport, but if you find a great price at a rental place that doesn't have a shuttle, the cab fare won't be very much.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app There are several of the major auto rental companies sited in a cluster off the airport exit. You can cab or Uber over to the rental agency of your choice, no more than a 10 minute drive from the cruise port.

There's a Budget office right near the port; the address is 1515 SE 17th St Causeway and it's much closer than the airport. The added advantage is that there is a shuttle that will take you there from the port so you don't have to pay for a cab. This is where we are picking up our post-cruise rental. Then we are dropping it off at FLL airport before our flight home. Edited June 16, 2016 by bakersdozen12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoos Posted June 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2016 There is a Thrifty car rental office that is literally just outside the port entrance. If you rent from them, they will pick you up when you disembark from the ship and shuttle you to their rental location (5 minute drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southnam Posted June 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Anyone rent from the Hertz that if advertised as port everglades? Is this only a drop off location? Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted June 16, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thrifty/Dollar is the closest one...usually great rates and a quick and easy shuttle that runs often due to them being right out side the Port Evergades gate on Miami Road. But do check rates we have also used Budget on 17th Street...they provide a shuttle also. And check the rates with all options like picking up at one location and dropping off at another...this can sometimes make a difference when you want to avoid FLL.

southnam Posted June 18, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hertz is giving the best rate by far for my rental rates. CAA rates as low as 31 a day for SUV in Feb. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nayola Posted June 18, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I'm renting a car from the Port Everglades Thrifty location. They had a fabulous rate. I'm going to get off the ship, get the car, do a little sightseeing in Miami, and then drop the car off at the Thrifty FLL airport location. I have a later flight and this plan works out well for me.
