KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fort Lauderdale
- Fort Lauderdale is city that revolves around relaxation and simplicity, which is only magnified when you decide to give yourself the freedom of renting a car. Fort Lauderdale has beautiful beaches that provide an array of activities and opportunities to enjoy the glorious Florida sunshine. Take the opportunity to drive west to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Everglades National Park, and appreciate the subtropical environment overflowing with fauna and native animals.
- Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has plenty of major hire companies to choose from, conveniently all located together in their hire Car Center. If you arriving in Terminal 1, simply walk across the pedestrian bridge toward Concourse B and you will arrive at the hire Car Center. If you arrive at either Terminal 2, 3, or 4, there is a shuttle bus that takes you directly to the hire Car Center. Fort Lauderdale is situated only 21 miles north of Miami; this is an alternative flight destination that may be more convenient and affordable, as it is a larger airport.
- There are certain highways nearby Fort Lauderdale with tolls, including the Florida Turnpike, Alligator Alley (1-75), and Bee Line Expressway. Be careful to plan your driving route accordingly and ensure that toll payment conditions are clearly outlined in your hire agreement. Turning right on a red light is legal unless otherwise indicated.
- You can enjoy far fewer cars on Fort Lauderdale roads in comparison to major cities, as people are often out enjoying the glorious weather and landscapes the beach metropolis has to offer. During the evening rush hour, the I-95 Highway is the most likely to experience congestion and cause delays. Warm and sunny weather is common and cars will flock to the beaches along the coastline, so be mindful of this and give yourself extra time to reach your destination on a hot day.

Pros:
Easy to pick up and return were fairly straightforward although the wait time to pick up was too long given there were very few other customers.Cons:
They gave us a choice of two cars. One smelled terrible on the inside and the other desperately needed cleaning on the interior. There was a bunch of popcorn in the back seat and hand prints on the rear seat windows. We were not impressed. I mean you could see the debris before even opening the doors. Gross. And this is supposed to be a time of extra cleaning given the pandemic. May not use Alamo again.8.0 Very good

Pros:
Drop off was smooth.Cons:
The price was exorbitant!!! So ripped off. By the time extra fees (no not insurance — service fees, taxes, pre-pay gas charge and a toll pass that we barely needed costing over $160) were added on our car cost about $100/day and multiplied by three weeks was outrageous. And this with only one driver. To add a second driver would have cost another $10.99/day. They took full advantage of a consumer who didn’t know the area. Car was dirty. Dollar Rental is an oxymoron. Their name should be Thousands of dollars rental. Research everything and know before you go.6.0 Okay

I wasted two hours dealing with this.10.0 Wonderful

Fuel milage of the diesel vehicle although that is not what I rented.Cons:
First vehicle I had was full of mold. Irritated my eyes and throat so bad had to return it after an hour. Second identical 2014 Passat DIESEL was cleaner inside, no mold, but on second day every idiot light illuminated. I didn't have time to return it so just drove it that way. A rental car shouldn't be 5 years old with 40k miles on it. Never again Advantage, never again!3.6 Poor

Cons:
Reserved an SUV. None available when we arrived. Gave us a van with a remote key that didn’t work (didn’t find out until after we left)and low tire pressure.

I had scheduled the car for noon, when I arrived at the rental counter at 12:15 they told me the car wouldn’t be ready for 20 minutes. I waited an hour before the car was finally ready at 1:15. When finally getting the car the worker asked if I wanted to pay for a sun pass unlimited pass and for gas. I declined both which he then continued to ask two more times until I felt like I couldn’t say no and agreed to both. I paid $12 for the sun pass when I only went through two tolls, and paid for a full tank of gas when I used less than half of a tank. When I finally got in the car it smelt very strongly of cigarettes. Disappointing and over priced experience overall.2.0 Poor

Cons:
I booked this car several days in advance. Upon my arrival from the Bahamas to Ft Lauderdale I received a voicemail from Payless informing me they didn’t not actually have a car available for me. I was stuck in Ft Lauderdale on a Friday and could not find a rental car from anyone. They were all sold out for the weekend. I felt totally helpless. I spent the next several hours trying to make other arrangements. At 3:00pm a representative from Payless contacted me and told me that they had a 12 passenger van that had just become available. The van got 10 mpg and I had a 650 mile trip ahead of me. I declined the van and continued to make other arrangements. I must say my experience was pretty awful. Thank Ryan FitchThrifty
