Roxxy Posted March 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Which car rental agency and what street should I return a rental car to? I will be picking up at FLL and staying at the Homewood Suites Brickell in Miami prior to the cruise. Hoping to have a return close to the hotel. Thanks !

JohninDC Posted March 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The Hampton will hit you with about a $25 parking fee - you might think about dropping the car off the night before and avoiding the parking fee - you do not need a car in Miami. Using Uber, Lyft or a taxi to get to POM is easy and should coat about $10-15. Avis and Dollar have offices close to POM on 2nd. Hertz also has a downtown location close to the port. Your other option is to drop the car at the MIA airport where National, Alamo, Thrifty and Enterprise offer free shuttles to POM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal54 Posted March 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Budget also has a drop off area near the POM with a free shuttle to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palms2Pines2Sea Posted March 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Budget and Avis share an office in downtown Miami, and provide a free shuttle back to your ship after you return your rental car. Highly recommend that you drive to the port first, unload your bags there, then return the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double check with the rental location you plan to drop off at..some are not open, or have limited hours on weekends or on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be easier and more convenient, returning a Budget car to their downtown office or to MIA airport? Does Budget offer a free shuttle from MIA to POM?

Where are you staying? :confused: I do not think Budget offers a shuttle from MIA to POM, only from their downtown location. But, if you get a better rate dropping at MIA or it is easier, a taxi to POM from the MIA airport will run $27+tip or UberX will be under $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is to pick up the rental car at FLL and return at downtown Miami or MIA. It looks like the Budget rates are identical, whether dropping off at MIA or downtown.

JohninDC Posted March 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Then drop it off downtown and ride the shuttle to POM -- if for some reason the shuttle is not running or you don't want to wait a cab from the downtown location to POM will be about $12 or you can Uber for under $10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
