dbarry Posted July 15, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Hi! Does anyone know information, or how to find information, about car rental companies near Port Everglades. I am currently booked with an agency located at the Fort Lauderdale airport. We are staying at the Fort Lauderdale Grand (formally the Mariott Marina) on 17th Street for our pre-cruise night. I know that it really isn't a big bother to catch a cab to the airport, but it might be nice to drop our car off without the ride to the airport and back to the Grande. Thank you all, Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewcrews Posted July 15, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2006 We are returning our Thrifty rental to the off airport Miami Road lot near 17th street. They call it FL9. Budget had a lot near by also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted July 15, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2006 There's also a Budget Car Rental office a couple of blocks west of your hotel (within walking distance.) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruisers Posted July 15, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Some of the car rental companies at the airport have shuttles to Port Everglades. You can pick up your car upon arrival in Fort Lauderdale and then drop it off before taking the shuttle direct to the Port. No need to go back to your hotel.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbarry Posted July 15, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted July 15, 2006 There's also a Budget Car Rental office a couple of blocks west of your hotel (within walking distance.) ;) Thank you Bequia! We are all set, we pick up the car at our local Budget and drop it off at the local Budget on SE 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale, just a short stroll from the Ft. Lauderdale Grande. Just as an additional note: We are taking the Everglades Airboat Tour offered through the ship, $49 each and it ends at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport, where we will pick up our car rental. I know that a taxi from the port would be less expensive, but why not end the cruise with an excursion! Darlene:D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signman Posted July 16, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Call the Grande's concierge. I'll bet they get this same question several times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
