Augh... not what I wanted to hear. I know traveling with kids involves more gear. We took the carseat and travel system to Waikiki but hardly used the stroller and walked with her in carrier. Just came back from Japan and only brought carrier as we did trains and big buses. So much easier.

Like I said do what you feel is best but from my experience it was a nightmare trying to rent from the car rental agency. I would just hate to risk having such a bad experience when you can just bring it. Airlines do a great job accommodating with that type of equipment for babies. It's a pain but might be worth it for the peace of mind 😊

Are these still current? We are hoping to drop off the car before boarding our cruise in August. Though closer to the port, the 2 downtown locations don't have good reviews due to short staff and infrequent shuttles. Some folks mentioned having to call Uber instead. That would not be an option for us as we have a baby and are renting the carseat with the car ss hoping to avoid bringing ours from home.

I would avoid renting the car seat from the car rental agency. I would bring your own carseat from home. I have ran into issues of reserving a seat and they tell me they are currently out of stock. I would have to find a local store and buy a cheap seat. Talk about being mad and upset! Always bring your own so you know you have it, just my opinion and experience! :)😊

So as long as I select MIA as my pick up location that will include the free shuttle from the Port of Miami for any of the rental companies at MIA?

My family of 4 is looking at renting a car the day our cruise returns to Miami. Our flight leaves out of Ft Lauderdale that same afternoon but we would rather spend our time sightseeing instead of being bored in the airport. So my questions is I know several MIA car rental companies offers shuttles to and from POM with a booked car rental and you have to show proof of rental to be allowed on the shuttle. Where I am getting confused is how to book those rentals. Can I go to a website like Orbitz ( or something similar) grab the best deal for MIA pick up and still get the shuttle from the port? I just don't want to mess this up. I have never rented a car before so this is very new for me. Any advice on how to make the actual reservations would be so helpful. Our goal is to get the cheapest price possible!
