tx121 Posted April 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2018 We have a late flight at 7pm leaving from FLL. We were thinking of renting a car. Does anyone have recent experience with car rental services picking up at Port Everglades? Will there be a shuttle bus from there? Also what is the amount you paid for the day? Recommendations? Any info is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2018 These agencies have offices near the port with free shuttles to the cruise terminals: Hertz from Crown Plaza Hotel Avis from Pier 66 Budget on 17th in shopping center next to Renaissance Hotel Sixt further up 17th. Thrifty/Dollar just out western port exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payitforward Posted April 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I have one rented with Sixt on April 22nd. I'm told there's a shuttle, but am not sure how it will work. I can let you know then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefightermediclasvegas Posted April 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I second Hertz at the Crown Plaza. They have been great every time we have rented a car from them. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnarpy Posted April 11, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I rent all the time at Fll and all rental companies either have an airport shuttle to the port or an office near the port which also has an shuttle. Our last rental was from Alamo. No biggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted April 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I rented from Hertz in November of 2017 and they were great. Somehow I got the pickup date mixed up and even though they were officially out of cars they did get me a car at a decent rate. There is a small shuttle area where you wait for them to show up which can take a little while to get picked up so make sure you get there as quickly as possible if you are in a hurry. We decided to fly out of Tampa via Southwest and it worked out perfect, we even had time for a stop at the Nordstroms rack :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Tyler Posted April 11, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2018 We also used Hertz from the Crowne Plaza location, in January. It went smoothly. We had a bit of a wait for the shuttle, but nothing too terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Tyler Posted April 11, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 11, 2018 How much was the rental for the day? Thanks! We returned the car to Orlando, but the rate was $34.13 total including tax for a Chevy Spark (economy). I was pretty pleased with the price!

Foosguy Posted April 15, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 15, 2018 How much was the rental for the day? Thanks! I picked up at hertz FLL airport and returned to crown plaza location. Worked perfect as we had some free time to get last second items and lunch before boarding. $28 for a Chevy Malibu. It was perfect for us. Shuttle took us directly to ship. Didn’t even have to buy gas. Kyle Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyTim Posted April 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've got a reservation with Avis at their Ft. Lauderdale Miami road address (QF1). I'm dropping off on May 19th and picking up on May 26th. Has anyone else ever used this location and if so, how frequent we the shuttles?

Zach1213 Posted April 15, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I haven't seen anyone mention Alamo yet, but they're located right at the main gate. In a few weeks I am renting a car at FLL airport and returning it to that apt Everglades location the next day, then they have a shuttle in to the port. I don't think any rental location is closer than Alamo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim You may also want to ask this on the Florida Departures forum: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495 I have used Avis in Ft. Lauderdale several times, most often at the agency at the Pier 66 hotel, which had a shuttle to the cruise terminals. However, when I looked at Avis' Ft. Lauderdale locations earlier today, I found that the location that offers the cruise ship shuttle is now at Miami Rd. This is a fairly recent change and I've not seen any feedback about this location yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JessyCruises Posted April 15, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 15, 2018 We usually use Thrify at 2400 Miami Rd or Alamo at 1700 Eller. We usually pay between $20-$30 for a one day, one way rental Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
