Rental Car Drop off at FLL Cruise Terminal

Hello all,

We are booked on a cruise out of Fort Lauderdale in December, and are flying into Miami (LOT cheaper from where were coming from); renting a car since we will be arriving the day before cruise departure. Do any of the rental companies have facilities at or very near the cruise terminal? I don't particularly want to go to the airport and then wait for a shuttle if I don't have to. There already is a thread on this subject but it is very old, and I'm looking for updated information.

I would leave the rental at the Fort Lauderdale Airport and take a taxi to the port . The port is only about 8 miles from the airport . Taxi should be about $15 plus tip for two.

At the entrance of Port Everglades there is a Dollar/ Thrifty office. Free shuttle to/from port.

Avis and Budget also have an office very nearby with a free shuttle to Port Everglades.

Alamo/National is the only one with airport shuttle. Full size bus.

Budget on 17th street large van

Avis at Hyatt Pier 66 large van

Thrifty /Dollar port entrance off US1 large van

Hertz at Crowne Plaza hotel. new large van

Sixt on 17th Street. small van.

All offer shuttle with drop-offs prior to 2pm or so.
