028snowball Posted January 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi all I am looking to hire a car preferably from dollar from Miami cruise port cruising with NCL I can only see selecting on dollar for airport pick up anyone used dollar recently do they provide a free shuttle to the airport to collect your vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted January 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2017 They have a N Miami Beach location and there's something on their website that indicates a cruise port pick up in Miami. You might want to reach out to them. There should be no drop off fee to other locations in Florida. So if NMB can pick you up, you can drive to the airport and what ever else you are planning on doing and then drop the car off at the airport when you leave.

JohninDC Posted January 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There are no car rental offices at the port of Miami (POM). :( National, Alamo & Thrifty offer free shuttles from their MIA airport location to POM. Does Dollar have a downtown location? Even if they do not shuttle the cab ride will be much cheaper - $10-12 from downtown compared to $27 from the MIA airport.

028snowball Posted January 6, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks for all your help I think they may have a downtown and a south beach location for pick up I just assumed there would be car hire offices at the port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
028snowball Posted January 6, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Also can't see anything in the dollar website about Miami cruise port transportation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted January 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Downtown will be closer/easier than SB Plan on a $10-12 cab - if they offer you a free shuttle you are ahead! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
028snowball Posted January 6, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There will be 10 of us hiring a mini van wondering is it possible for a ewe of us to get off the ship ahead of the others collect the car and pick up everyone else at the port I'd imagine getting a taxi to take 10 people to downtown Miami may be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted January 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Sure - the two can get off the ship early with no bags, collect the van and then return for the others and all of the bags. 10 plus bags must equal two mini-vans, correct? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
028snowball Posted January 7, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Ok ... so the only pick ups for mini vans is the airport so we are gonna have to possibly taxi if there is no shuttle anyone know how much approximately in a taxi and how far from the port terminal the airport? We are hiring one mini. Van that holds 12 and stuffing our lugguage in the unused seats etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride takes 15+ min depending upon traffic and day of the week. To taxi to MIA, get to the car rental center, rent the car and return to POM will take at least an hour.

Great thanks for the reply yes I would expect it will take over an hourto collect the mini bus and yes it will be tight with lugguage but hopefully fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candicane0104 Posted January 15, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi all I am looking to hire a car preferably from dollar from Miami cruise port cruising with NCL I can only see selecting on dollar for airport pick up anyone used dollar recently do they provide a free shuttle to the airport to collect your vehicle This is from my print off as I have a van reserved from Port Everglades after our cruise. Read the pick up instructions part. It specifically states Port Everglades and there is no shuttle service to the airport. When I read your post it made me worry oh no but all should be ok.

o-state girl Posted January 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Dollar should have a shuttle which will take you from the Port of Miami to the MIA airport to pick up the car. We booked it for the end of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
