andie717 Posted January 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2019 We are on a cruise leaving Miami on 3/24. Flights have been crazy expensive, but I somehow found a direct flight to Fort Myers Beach that gets in early in the morning on the 23rd. After seeing it was a 2 hour drive, we switched our flights! (Our old flight got into FLL at midnight on 3/24!). We plan to rent a car at RSW, then drive to Miami. Two questions: 1. Better to take I-75 or the scenic route? 2. Best place to drop off the rental? We could either do downtown Miami or MIA. Price is roughly the same. We are staying at the Atton Brickell, if it makes a difference. We don't want to deal with parking, so thought is my husband will drop off kids, luggage and me at hotel, then he will return rental and Uber back to us. Easiest drop off location/Uber pick up spot?

JohninDC Posted January 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Downtown drop locations (company?) will be much closer to your hotel than the MIA airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinfool Posted January 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Suggest that you build in more time for the drive from Ft Myers to Miami. 2 hours sounds like 'perfect world' scenario. Yes, take I-75, but also monitor your trip on Google Maps, Waze or some other app that will show you traffic conditions. It is amazing how often a major wreck will close the interstate for hours and hours...maybe all day. Have an alternate route in mind.
