Car rental @ FLL/Port Everglades

I'll be arriving at Fort Lauderdale a day before my cruise leaves from Port Everglades. If I were to drop off the rental before my cruise, should I drop it back at the airport or is there also a dropoff at Port Everglades?

Which car rental company have you rented from there and recommend to others?

When I get off the ship a week later I'll need to rent a car again. Where should I pick it up? Will I need to head out to the airport or is there one close by the pier?

Thanks for the info!

Hi Silver,
Not exactly sure where the rentals are located, but the airport and the pier are right next to each other in Ft. Lauderdale, so they should be close enough....I would bet the car rental people would drop you at the pier when you return the car...

Several years ago,all the car rental companies moved to the airport, in one building, on several floors. You pick up and drop off the car there,and grab the shuttles to the port. Very easy process.

Here's an airport link.http://www.broward.org/airport/Pages/Default.aspx

Yup... the port and the airport (where the majority of car rental companies are located) are about 10 minutes apart. All the rental companies located there have continuous shuttles running back and forth.

Just make sure that from the airport you are boarding the PORT shuttle. When returning the car, you take a shuttle to the TERMINAL for your flight.
