HC parking is free at the Port of Miami. In Ft. Lauderdale you pay the same as everyone else; $15/day.

I believe it is free if you have a vehicle that's equipped with a ramp or elevator for a wheelchair. Not 100% sure of this, but in Florida I think those are the rules.

I stand corrected, if this is so. Though there is no free parking in FLL for just having a HC tag.

Thanks for the info. I knew that it was free in Miami but wanted to check Ft Lauderdale for friends who are cruising in April.

We were most recently in Fort Lauderdale last November. We have two cars, an SUV with a lift for my large rascal scooter and a prius which is unaltered (unlike our pets). We chose to take the Prius from NC to Fla. I also took my lightweight travelscoot scooter. I took pictures of the SUV with the scooter loaded on the lift as well as my H/C registration. It didn't make a difference. We paid the $15.00 per day charge even after asking to speak with a supervisor. We did not have a lift equipped vehicle with us and the H/C placard is insufficient. We did park in a H/C spot near the elevator. The spot was covered and the car was just as we left it when we returned a week later.
