milkman1972 Posted January 22, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2008 We are first timers and are spending a few extra days in Ft. Lauderdale after disembarking there. Can anyone tell me if there are rental cars available at/near the port, or do we have to go to the airport to get a car? Any info or suggestions on getting around without a car? Thanks!

dak_friendly Posted January 22, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm imagining you'll be flying out of Fort Lauderdale so it would make the most sense to rent a car from the airport so you can drop it off there on the way to catch your flight home. Happily, the airport is extremely close to the port so it shouldn't be a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springtxbill Posted January 22, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I believe the actual car pick-up point is the same for the Port and the airport. Shuttles go between both points and the car place.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeywestK Posted January 22, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2008 We used Budget Car rental in October. Picked the car up at FLL airport and returned it to their location across the street from Port Everglades. They had a shuttle that dropped us off at the cruise terminal. On the way back, we caught the shuttle to pick up another rental car for three days and returned it to the airport. It was so easy and they were great to deal with. Have a great vacation!

ecpc1302 Posted January 24, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thank you Karen. We've been wondering about where to rent a car and not have to go back to the airport to return. Elsie:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkman1972 Posted January 24, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks a bunch Karen. I just called Budget and got a GREAT deal on a rental with a free shuttle to the Quay center for pickup and drop-off at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike1964 Posted January 24, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey Milkman, I am trying to reserve a car for one day, and I am getting like $78 for a 1 day rental on the smallest car they have. What kind of rate did you get? I think the reason my quote is so high, is because its a Sat. (weekend?) I think we are just going to do the "bags to go" process where they take your bags @ the terminal, print out your boarding pass and off you go. We'll probably just use cabs instead of rentiing a car.
