Alamo port of miami ?

[sandyneck]

Anyone ever dropped off a car here? If so, is there a shuttle to the port or do you take a taxi. It looks like it is near the airport, so I am not sure why they call it Port of Miami. Thanks for any help.

I was misled by the Alamo website for my two January rentals (one day before the crusie and the last day of the cruise) which stated a Port of Miami location. The location is actually offsite at the airport, but there is a great shuttle service from the offsite airport location to the Port. Very convenient and timely. Some shuttles go to the "Airport" from the offsite location and some go to the "Sea Port".

Thanks, I had a map so I did see where the location was after I booked, it is very misleading. Did they charge for the shuttle? We were going to have to take a cab from our other drop off location anyway so we were expecting that. Alamo just happened to be a better deal. Thanks for anymore info

There's no charge for the shuttle, but we always tip the driver after he has to struggle with our heavy suitcases, so it's handy to have some money ready.

We drove from Orlando to the Port and I then returned my car to Alamo. On the main highway there was a sign to turn off for rental car returns with a few logos of some other agencies. I reluctantly turned off and then saw a few more signs of other agencies but not Alamo. I was almost ready to get back on the main road when I finally saw an arrow to Alamo. Have patience, because all the rentals are located in a weird industrial area that is deceiving and not very well marked.
