Where to park at Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale

[Rneighh]

We are flying into Orlando for December 22, Carnival Cruise that leaves for Fort Lauderdale. We plan on renting a car and driving to the port. We will arrive late on 21 in Orlando and plan to drive part way get a hotel and the drive to the port early on the 22. It there anyplace to park that is less expensive then at the port?

Is there some reason you'd hold onto the car rental and pay parking fees while cruising? Don't most do 1 way rentals?

The one way rental charge is less then $25, I agree why hold on to a rental car and pay to park?

We've used park n fly several times. Not the cheapest off site parking but has a really nice secured lot and very close to the port. I think it's 7>95 per day and you can google for a coupon for another discount.

Sorry,,,wrong port info!

The majority of the car rental places in Florida do not charge for dropping a rental off at another location. Even if they did, the cost of renting a car for a week plus parking fees would be way more than the drop off charge.

 

I would just rent the car for a day, turn it in, then take a cab to the pier. Some rental agencies will even shuttle you to the pier or pick you up at the pier and take you to their office to rent another one.

Just curious, why are you flying into Orlando instead of FLL??

[Rneighh]

Thanks I didn't even think of a one day rental.

 

Jennmaybe --- I found a much cheaper rate by flying into Orlando. We are saving over $800 by flying into MCO instead of FLL

Maybe they are going to stop & see Mickey first.

Wow! That's a lot of savings!! I would too if I was going to save that kind of moolah!:D:)

Nope--here is what the OP said:

 

"We will arrive late on 21 in Orlando and plan to drive part way get a hotel and the drive to the port early on the 22."

 

Can't go see Mickey if they are arriving late and immediately driving down towards FLL.

Disney was always our vacation of choice until we went on our first cruise in May. Now I am hooked on cruising.

Here's my suggestion. Do a one way rental from MCO and turn in at FLL. All of the rental car agencies at the Ft. Lauderdale airport have shuttles that will then take you to the port. Easy peasy. Or you could take a taxi just as easy from FLL to the port, fare would be about $12-$15. :)
