JPO Posted January 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We have a cruise booked from LA to Ft. Lauderdale. We plan to get a rental car in Ft. Lauderdale to drive north to our home. Can this be done at the port? Any info will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted January 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2008 There are no rental car agencies in Port Everglades itself. But they aren't too far, only a few miles, from the port entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you are doing a one-way rental there may be a hefty drop fee too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPO Posted January 29, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks for the rapid replies. My TA thought that there might be rental agency shuttles available at the port. The one-way drop off fee is not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLACRUISER99 Posted January 29, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2008 There is a free shuttle bus to the Airport Rental Car center.:D Shuttle Bus goes here http://www.broward.org/airport/parking_transportation_rentals.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All major rental agencies have shuttles that will pick you up at Port Everglades, see link to Florida threads. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJ Posted January 29, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2008 A cab is only $15 with tip to the airport as well, if you don't feel like battling crowds waiting for the airport shuttle. I was impressed with the car rental center at FLL. Maybe it's because I don't rent cars very often. But by filling everything out online, all I had to do at the airport is walk up to a car, hop in, and show my credit card at the gate on the way out.

whale-watcher Posted January 30, 2008 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2008 If you are doing a one-way rental there may be a hefty drop fee too. :) Have done one way rentals between FLL ot TPA and RSW (ft myers) fairly often and so far have not had a drop off fee with the major rental companies.

That is why I said "may" have. I am glad because the rental companies make big bucks off these type of rentals. :) Good to know, so if I rent a car in Miami and drive one way to Pensacola there is no fee? Just checked Hertz and it is $600 for 4 days (sub compact) one way rental to Pensacola from Miami. Great rate. May as well fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
