APagano Posted August 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Looking for suggestions. Here's my situation: Debarking from Majesty on Monday 9/20. Flight leaving FLL 6:45pm. I figure that even If we are the last people off the ship we will still have a few hours to visit my relatives in the Fort Lauderdale area before taking off. Will need a rental car for this purpose. I have read on Cruise Critic that Avis has a location at the Port of Miami, but I could not find a record of that on Avis' website. Is there a rental car counter there? I see that most of the car rental companies have locations in South Beach. Will it be easy for us to catch a cab from the port to the SoBe rental places or should I catch one of the shuttles to the airport and rent there? Not sure which would be more time-consuming. Ideally we would like to get a rental car close to the port and zip up to Tamarac for a visit with my relatives, then drop off the car at FLL before our return flight. Any ideas/suggestions or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. thanks!! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSKI Posted August 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I'm not sure where the Avis is located but they should have pick up service at the pier. I know Alamo does and they also have drop off service at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robntawn Posted January 4, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Just to let everyone know that Avis just opened up a downtown location for pickup/dropoff (code M6I) This makes it much easier and cheaper than having to all the way to the airport. Our daily rate for a minivan pickup from FLL and dropoff 1 day later at M6I is $85. Going the opposite direction a week later is $80. Pretty reasonable, since we are a family of 6! iT also allowed us to fly into FLL at a $200PP savings! Rock on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted January 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I have read on Cruise Critic that Avis has a location at the Port of Miami, but I could not find a record of that on Avis' website. Is there a rental car counter there? No there are no on-site car rental agencys at Port of Miami I see that most of the car rental companies have locations in South Beach. Will it be easy for us to catch a cab from the port to the SoBe rental places or should I catch one of the shuttles to the airport and rent there? Not sure which would be more time-consuming. The shuttle to the airport would be more time-consuming. Take a cab to Avis new downtown rental location, 5 minutes from the port less then $10 cab fare. Call: Avis Downtown Miami - M6I 99 Southeast 2nd Street, (at Southeast 1st Avenue), Miami, FL 33131 , U S A (1) 305-379-1317 Sun 08:00AM-04:00PM; Mon-Fri 08:00AM-06:00PM; Sat 08:00AM-04:00PM Ideally we would like to get a rental car close to the port and zip up to Tamarac for a visit with my relatives, then drop off the car at FLL before our return flight.Any ideas/suggestions or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!
