car rental

🙂Are there car rentals places near the FLL cruise port, and do they have pickup service. Will be returning on cruise ship and need to get a rental to head for FT.Myers in Dec., if cruises start back up!

All major rental companies have pick-up service from the ships.

Last time we rented a car coming off of ship in Port Everglades, we found it cheaper and easier to pay for an inexpensive taxi to FLL airport and use our Costco membership to get an unbeatable price from one of their preferred vendors at the airport. No need to deal with a potentially crowded rental car van at cruiseport. Even with the taxi cost of less than 30  bucks we saved money.

We have done the same but another option was to use the free shuttle to Thrifty/Dollar (just outside the Port Everglades gate) to pick up our rental. Another option is to take their free shuttle to the Renaissance Hotel near by to where the off site Budget rental office is located in their lobby.

 

We always rent with Costco for the best rates also.
