cruisecanadafamily Posted June 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hello, I have looked on previous posts and can't find anything posted of late. This is first time renting a car pre and post as I've always used shuttle. Renting a car in FLL and want to drop off in either MIA (preferably) or Miami area and access FREE shuttle to POM. Does anyone have any suggestions. Post cruise want to do opposite. Rent in MIA or Miami area and drop off in FLL using FREE shuttle from POM. Thanks in advance for advance.

OneParticularHarbour 71 Posted June 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Thrifty/Dollar has a free shuttle to/from MIA/POM as does National/Enterprise/Alamo. Have your rental paperwork ready as they often check it as you get on the shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Reds4life Posted June 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2017 National was very good for us. Emerald Aisle lets you pick your car and then just drive off. No stops at the counters at all. I get a pretty sweet rate being a state employee also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once enrolled you can choose the Emerald Aisle as the midsize rate and then get your pick off the non-luxury vehicles on hand. We got a Chevy Equinox and a Pacifica minivan for the same rate as a Toyota Corolla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecanadafamily Posted June 10, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Does national have a free shuttle to and from POM? Tried calling them and no one seems to know CCL Glory 2007 RCL Freedom of Seas 2013 CCL Breeze 2014 RCL Oasis of Seas 2014 RCL Grandeur of Seas 2014 NCL Breakaway 2015 RCL Freedom of Seas 2015 RCL Serenade of Seas 2016 NCL Breakaway 2016 RCL Serenade of Seas 2017 MSC Divina ... coming 2017 RCL Anthem of Seas ... coming 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneParticularHarbour 71 Posted June 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Does national have a free shuttle to and from POM? Tried calling them and no one seems to know Yes, National, Enterprise and Alamo share a shuttle and Thrifty and Dollar share another shuttle. Took them both last week. I would go with whichever you can get a better price with though I will say the National/Enterprise/Alamo shuttle was larger than the Thrifty/Dollar shuttle which made trying to get on it at POM faster. From MIA both shuttles were pretty empty and easy to get right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badreddine Posted June 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I would suggest Thrifty or Dollar as they can be best value. Last year we rented post cruise from Dollar, free shuttle from POM to Miami airport, picked a small SUV for 3 days and returned it in FLL. Once paperwork is done at counter, you proceed to the parking lot and you choose the vehicle yourself. No need for loyalty program. Happy cruising.

cruisecanadafamily Posted June 10, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just got this from national * Marketta-06/10/2017 03:27 PM I appreciate your email. I regret to inform you that we do not provide a shuttle service to and from the Miami Port. However, the airport may provide this option but you would need to reach out to them directly regarding this information.

Pitzel Posted June 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Avis/Budget offer a free shuttle from their downtown/POM location (not MIA). We have used them twice, though you will need to find a way to get there from the airport if you are flying into MIA. On one trip, we flew into FLL and got a one-way rental to the Miami/POM location. It was great having a vehicle for the day before we sailed out. We then had another one-way rental once we returned from our cruise, from the POM/downtown location back to FLL. We had 6 people with us and a minivan/SUV rental was less than what we would have paid with a shuttle company or Uber.

We rented a vehicle from FLL National and returned it to MIA National and took the free shuttle to POM. They have a free shuttle from MIA to POM. As far as rates, National is cheaper than Thrifty or Dollar with the Ohio State employee discount, maybe not otherwise, plus the better vehicle with the Emerald Aisle. The service is great because you don't have to fill out paperwork at the counter. Just pick your car and leave. But, that's just my experience, to each their own.
