littlestars Posted February 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2007 We are departing on Freedom at the end of Nov and will have driven down from Orlando pre-cruise. Would you recommend as first timers in Miami to stay downtown or see a bit of South Beach? Would you recommend keeping the car overnight and returning it in the morning before the Cruise or returning it the night before? THANKS ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysgrandma Posted February 4, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2007 We are flying into Ft. Lauderdale the day before our cruise, renting a car through Enterprise at the airport and driving to the Hyatt in Miami. We are doing a 24 hour rental so we can use the car to sightsee the day before and leaving it at the Hyatt the next day before the cruise, as Enterprise has a rental office in the hotel. We specifically booked through Enterprise because they have a location at the hotel we are staying at. We are going in September and booked the car last month.

folashade Posted February 4, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2007 My personal preference is to stay in South Beach esp if it is your first time in Miami. Depending on how much luggage you have I would return the car to a Miami location and cab in since finding parking in South Beach can be a pain or you can Valet. You can go to restaurants, shopping within walking distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racegrrl Posted February 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Please consider parking costs - VERY expensive, and that's if you can find a place open to park it. Most garages are $12-20 overnight. If you don't care about that expense, keep the car and drive over to South Beach - it's amazing! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
