CategoryQ Posted December 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2021 A few years ago, we rented a car through Hertz near Port Everglades (455 Southeast 24th Street). That location appears to no longer be there. Does anybody know of any car rental agencies near the port, or would the closest be at the airport?

Ashland Posted December 10, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2021 We've used Thrifty/Dollar just outside the PE terminal gate Miami Road and also Budget on 17th Street. I believe these are still operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SUESEABE Posted December 11, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I rented a van from Budget for our family cruise in February for pick up at Port Everglades then drop off at FLL airport. We don't depart until 8:30pm. There is a shuttle for Port Everglades rental. I did a copy and paste of Budget Port info as follows: Ft Lauderdale Cruiseport Shttl (EV3) Address: 2520 Miami Rd,Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33316, United States Phone: (1) 954-761-7231 Location Type: Corporate Hours of Operation: Sun 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM; Mon - Fri 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM; Sat 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Holiday Hours: 2021CHRISTMAS EVE December 24 08:00AM - 06:00PMCHRISTMAS DAY December 25 08:00AM - 03:00PMNEW YEARS EVE December 31 08:00AM - 06:00PM2022NEW YEARS DAY January 1 09:00AM - 02:00PM Free pickup service available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these are still operating. I created a separate thread about this in October (just bumped it up) - but it seems that the Thrifty/Dollar right outside PE Terminal is no longer open. Tried to reserve for a sailing in March, but I'm unable to. Called, got no answer. And tried to make a dummy-booking for other dates later in the year... couldn't do that either. I may have to look into Budget now. Or just return the car at FLL and taxi/uber to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some other company has or will take that location. Just Googled the address and it does look like Budget/Avis/Payless has set up shop there. Good choice !!

Budget/Payless is 2520 Miami Road, Thrifty/Dollar is (or was) down the road 2400 Miami Road. Will look into that, thank you! Again, "worst" case scenario is returning the car to FLL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
