Clarea Posted April 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2016 We get on the free Avis shuttle and take it over to the Avis office in the Hyatt Pier 66. Here is a post that Karen was kind enough to share with all the options: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=48314296&postcount=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamloops50 Posted April 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I would recommend a taxi to FLL to get a car . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among other plusses, they have an office right at the gate of the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted April 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I recently had to make FLL car decisions. I found Dollar near the port 5400 Miami Rd (I think) to be the cheapest. I was deciding between a full week rental or just the two days post cruise. I was finding a mini van for two days for $250ish. Dollar was under $90! Not sure if this helps but play with the websites and coupon codes. Dollar's coupon codes that I found the best rate with was on their web site under specials.

bobbie0253 Posted April 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I would recommend a taxi to FLL to get a car . If we weren't dealing with car seats for three kids. This would have been my plan for sure. To get the heck out of the port as fast as possible :) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipo Posted April 6, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have used Avis and Hertz from Port Everglades. Both offer drop-off/pick-up shuttle service to/from all the piers. Excellent service. Avis: Location Code: F8D Address: 2301 Southeast 17th Street Hyatt Regency Hotel Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 Hertz: https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/location/unitedstates/florida/ftlauderdale/FLLP24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted April 6, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 6, 2016 All of the (name) rental companies have shuttles that pick you up and drop you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00w6 Posted April 6, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Try the off site shuttles (as suggested) and avoid the airport offices if possible. We found the rates to be much higher. We rented from Hertz last month, got picked up by the shuttle, and saved A LOT of $$$ by using our AAA discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north29 Posted April 6, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have used Avis and Hertz from Port Everglades. Both offer drop-off/pick-up shuttle service to/from all the piers. Excellent service. How ever the location can be a small PITA if you do not know Ft Lauderdale. You must go west to go east to the beaches, however west will take you to Sawgrass easily, exit is a no left turn place. Most any GPS or smart phone GPS app with mapping will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volk904 Posted April 7, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Try Budget. Find the Internet discount coupons and book Oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiseyM Posted April 7, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I needed this post a few days ago. I totally overpaid some taxi guy to take me from the port to Budget car rental. Next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
