cheeseclan Posted March 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We have not picked up a car at FLL in a very long time. The last time we did it was chaos trying to get the shuttle bus to the rental car center at FLL. Do they still offer the shuttle or is it best to taxi/uber/lyft over to get the car? We are going to walk off with our luggage so we can get the car asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2022 "They" is a number of car companies. If you have one or two in mind, I would be calling them to confirm they to a) confirm they are in business, and b), see if they offer the shuttles. Covid and the slow return to cruising has impacted all this things considerably. By the way, these things are discussed daily on the Florida Departures board, here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/386-florida-departures/ I expect the Mods will move this over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted March 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Free shuttle service from Port Everglades was discontinued approximately four years ago. A cab from Port Everglades to FLL is under twenty dollars plus tip. There are a few car rental companies that are located just outside of Port Everglades. Prior to the pandemic they provided shuttle service to their locations. I know personally that the Alamo location on Eller Drive provided the free service. I would call each location to see if there policy changed. In January I paid a flat fee of twenty five dollars with tip for my family of three and four large suitcases on our ten minute ride from Port Everglades to FLL to pick up a Budget car rental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&JfromSDL Posted March 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Honestly, it’s pretty cheap to just Uber from the port to the airport rental car. When I did it in October I think it was $15-20 and worth not trying to load my luggage on a crowded shuttle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted March 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Avoid the crowds at the airport and beat the ship crowds if you disembark with early walk off; this Port Everglades Budget/Avis location opens at 8AM. https://www.budget.com/en/locations/us/fl/fort-lauderdale/ev3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
