GOYANKEES Posted December 27, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Five of us are flying into FLL and looking to rent a vehicle from Avis to get to Miami for Freedom saling on July 16, 2006. Before Christmas I was able to book two connecting Regency Club rooms at the Hyatt Regency for 1 night on July 15th at $119 AAA rate (king) and $114 Family rate (2 Dbls). It appears that the downtown Avis location is within walking distance of the hotel as I would like to drop off the car after we arrive at the hotel and use a cab to get to the port the next day. Has anyone done this with Avis before? Also please share your experiences or tips about this hotel. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted December 27, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2005 The Avis downtown location is new. It's scheduled to open on January 2nd. I'm sure a lot of cruisers will be taking advantage of it's conveniant location. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnsawyer Posted December 27, 2005 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2005 It's probably going to be very popular since it's been a few years since there has been a car rental in downtown Miami near the port/Bayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathyh1313 Posted December 28, 2005 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2005 DH and I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Miami pre-cruise in July. Very nice property. Room was large and comfortable. Tiny balcony with a view of the river and a drawbridge, fun to watch. Pool area was small but well kept. We did not leave the property as we were with my DH company as a bonus. So I can't help you with the car rental info. The company had a hospitality room and then drinks, dinner and dancing. The hotel did a wonderful job with these functions. I think the price you got is fantastic. Enjoy, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachfanatic Posted December 29, 2005 #5 Share Posted December 29, 2005 i would try Priceline 4*, you could probably get it for less than $100, we have stayed there many times, always for $75 or less. This year, we pulled the intercontinental for $90, it was nice and convenient for the bayside and an awesome view of the ships, but truth be told, I prefer the hyatt rooms and pool.

I agree with you Beachfanatic. We have stayed at the Intercontinental as well as the Hyatt and much preferred the Hyatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
