running girl Posted August 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I am going to try to bid on a car threw pricline but I want to pick the car up at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport and return it to the port. The problem is it won't take return of Port Everglades? Has anyone done this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerman2 Posted August 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Don't know if priceline will let you do that. I have a car rented thru Dollar with P/U at airport and D/O at Port with Shuttle to the Dock for Oct. Try that and use Code OOAG and see if that works for you. Dollar/Thrifty are the same At the Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megr1125 Posted August 8, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2009 i don't think you can do one way rentals on PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted August 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2009 FLL and Port Everglades are adjacent to each other. The return location for Port Everglades IS the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXR Posted August 9, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Actually bid through Priceline this past April. I dropped it off back at FLL, and they've got a courtesy shuttle that will drive you to the pier. Very easy. Had an Economy Car for $20 including taxes. Can't beat that.

JXR Posted August 9, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i don't think you can do one way rentals on PL. There are some places that PL will let you do one-way rentals, but not everywhere. I tried MCO to Port Canaveral, and it wouldn't let me. But, you can do Miami Airport to Orlando Airport. WEIRD. Joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerman2 Posted August 9, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2009 TrentS Dollar has 2 different addresses for rental locations according to there website. Also looking at the map it SHOWS 2 different. They may very well be close to each other however FLL/Port Everglades and FLL Airport are listed seperately. Hey if it's 2 or 3 miles closer to the Port to return it there, it definitely is going to make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills blasters Posted August 9, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Had the same problem before. But, just return it to the airport, and they shuttle you to the pier. Just a short drive. The shuttle does not run all the time. We got there too early to return the car the first time, and had to wait over 2 hours until the shuttle started. We ended up just taking a taxi that time. The taxi was less than $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returning the car to another location by the port won't help you if FLL car return has the port shuttles and the other location doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then booked. I called this office and was told they no longer have a shuttle to Port of Miami would have to take a taxi so I cancelled my reservations.
