Car wiz wants 300k in insurance and most people don’t have that so you will pay extra at the counter. Video and take pics of the car before hand for security purposes.
Verified travelerSep 2024
We booked with Budget and were even offered an upgrade. They were on-airport while CarWize was off-airport, which would have made a big difference for us at the time of night we were to arrive. Very happy with Budget thank you!!
Verified travelerOct 2024
They have a good price, much better than any at the airport.
Verified travelerSep 2024
I would advise anyone to use your own insurance and fill up the tank yourself. It’ll save you a little bit of money.
Verified travelerNov 2024
Go with the big ones and pay a little extra for your rentals
paulSep 2024
allow time for the rental car shuttle and paperwork at the counter
PeterNov 2024
Shop around for a good price before booking
GwendalynJul 2024
We renting from budget and it was a better experience. I would recommend renting from know brands and making sure they have a service counter at the actual air port instead of just a phone number.
Verified travelerJun 2024
We booked the SunPass and are glad we did. It covered all of our toll costs and enabled us to utilize the express lanes.
Verified travelerAug 2024
Fuel was not full tank as it said in the contract paperwork. No one near picking up car to validate and no time to waste for us. But everything fixed later with phone call to customer service. While returning to airport, the shuttle was packed and took time for everyone to get seated. Next time I’ll keep in mind for extra time. We were rushing.
AlanAug 2024
As I said, people need to know that you need your insurance card and the declarations page from your insurance company. My advise is to decline the toll coverage and use the "no toll roads' option on Google Maps. Otherwise, the cost of the tolls option is unreasonably expensive.
JordanJun 2024
If you’re in a rush and not traveling through terminal 1 and your car is off site, just Uber to your car rental instead of using the shuttles
Verified travelerJul 2024
If there aren’t any other rental companies, use Budget wisely. Get a gasoline vehicle that hopefully doesn’t smell.
Verified travelerJun 2024
Make sure you know exactly how to get to car rental location before arriving.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Sometimes it's better to rent from the neighborhood if you can. You not only support the community but you also save time by not standing in long lines at the airport.
Verified travelerMar 2024
We rented an SUV It was perfect for 4 adults and our luggage. We got the sun pass for toll roads. Definitely recommend going that route.
kerisheMay 2024
The process is seemless and the customer care reps take the time out to inform and educate their customers with love and patience.
HMar 2024
Excellent car and service. Great!
Verified travelerMar 2024
If you do “offsite” rental cars keep in mind you will pay less but don’t be in a hurry bc it will take longer. That’s the trade off. Also have your insurance details (including coverages) ready for the agent for it to go smoothly.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Call car rental desk and inquire about insurance requirements. Unless you have one of the top 5 national insurers, expect hefty add-on insurance at time of pick up. Rental car was cheaper than Uber for our group.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Next time we disembark at Port Everglades and need a car for the day, we’ll just rent one from the airport and look for one that has a shuttle from Port Everglades.
MarkMar 2024
There is a shuttle bus to/from terminal to car rental location so if you are a 1st timer at airport renting a car that would have been nice to know
Verified travelerApr 2024
Make sure you get the toll pass if you're driving on any toll roads. There is no way to pay otherwise.
Verified travelerApr 2024
make sure that if your flight is delayed to super late, that you contact your rental car company in advance
Verified travelerMar 2024
If you’re coming in early keep in mind that don’t clean cars till 6 am so beware
Verified travelerJan 2024
My daughter said; as a new driver herself, learn about the one way streets as we do not have many one way streets. I looked it as we didn't get lost. Keep your eyes on the road because there are lots of beautiful things to look at, including the ocean views.
Verified travelerJan 2024
Driving in FLL is good and easy
AliciaFeb 2024
Just make sure you rent from a reputable company.
Verified travelerJan 2024
Keep the speed limit , there are cops everywhere!
Verified travelerDec 2023
Avoid these smaller rental car agencies that tend to lure you in with low advertised prices but then hit you with a ton of fees. The larger and more reputable agencies will ultimately cost you less and you will have a MUCH better experience.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Yo tome el toll pass por día....pero es mejor el ilimitado ya que hoy en día los peajes son muchos!!!
Verified travelerSep 2023
Lots of traffic, not really any down time!
MatthewNov 2023
Florida drivers are aggressive. If you drive the speed limit, stay in right lane.
markJun 2023
If you are going to be on the highways, toll roads and express lanes do not take cash. The tolls are levied with license plate readers or transponders. I would recommend getting this service as express lanes and toll roads are common in South Florida.
LisaJul 2023
We drove to Orlando and back, the 450 mile cap was just enough. We did the pre-pay toll option which saved us some money.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Use your membership cards for car rentals to avoid waiting in line and watch for extra charges being added to your bill.

Driving in Fort Lauderdale is a pleasure, Miami has much more traffic. Watch for parking permit signs in Miami

Verified travelerAug 2023
Rent from this Enterprise location!!!!
NickJun 2023
Driving in south Florida is nuts. Lots of cars going a LOT faster than the traffic (which is already about 10 over the limit) combined with plenty of cars going well below the traffic. It's the mixing of south florida youthful energy with south florida retirement community on the roads.
markJun 2023
Pay with a visa or MasterCard and then only get the insurance that will cover the Credit Card deductible - $4.99 a day. If you do not use the turnpike or express lanes, do not get the toll coverage - which is $14.99 a day.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Driving is ok in Fort Lauderdale; pay attention to all street signs. Some areas have red light cameras which is fine. Stay out of the express lanes if you don't have the SunPass. Drive safe.
AshleyJul 2023
Make sure to ask if they have capability of having a different drop off location from the pick up site
Verified travelerJun 2023
Check the cars in and out, use your phone lantern if it is night time.
MichaelJun 2023
People drive crazy in Florida, either too slow or too fast.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Watch out for the cops and be vigilant
AmirMay 2023
Make sure you are renting from the airport location and not downtown if you're flying in. And consider purchasing or bringing a toll road tag with you to avoid ridiculous extra charges if you're planning to drive toll roads and don't want to pay a ridiculous premium to either get the tag from the rental company or to get the toll billed by mail.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Advise future Tesla car clients that they can only charged in a Tesla Super charge station. The car adaptor does not fit the regular charge station.
Verified travelerMay 2023
You have to take a shuttle (sometimes 2 depending on the rental car company) from the airport.
ShellyMay 2023

Drive carefully in South Florida since most drivers are careless.

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 rental companies to choose from, conveniently all located together in their Rental Car Center. If you arriving in Terminal 1, simply walk across the pedestrian bridge toward Concourse B and you will arrive at the Rental Car Center. If you arrive at either Terminal 2, 3, or 4, there is a shuttle bus that takes you directly to the Rental 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 rental 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.
  • One of the great perks of Fort Lauderdale car rentals is that they allow you to explore much more than the local beaches. For example, Disneyworld in Orlando is about a 3h drive northwest. If you’d prefer to check out the space shuttle at Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, head north along the coast from Fort Lauderdale for about 3 h. Is a big city with lots of nightlife more for you? If so, drive south from Fort Lauderdale for about 45 mins and you’ll reach Miami. If you continue driving south from Miami for another 45 mins or so, you’ll reach the Florida Keys.
  • Public parking garages and public beach parking as well as parking lots and on-street parking are the main parking options in Fort Lauderdale. Most require payment in cash, cards, or through phone apps. Some require permits, but those are clearly marked. The different options usually have different maximum time limits. For example, many public parking garages such as Arts & Science District Garage allow up to 12 h, whereas public beach parking such as Birch Road on E Las Olas usually allows up to 4h or so. Finally, parking lots and on-street parking in spots such as Birch Road and E Las Olas typically allow parking for up to 3h.
  • If you plan on finding cheap car rentals in Fort Lauderdale, it’s important to pay attention to some of the regular events that may interrupt traffic. Beginning in January, this includes the Las Olas Art Fair which takes place on Las Olas Blvd. In February, Fort Lauderdale hosts its Pride festival in the city center and along the beach. In early April, the Tortuga Music Festival takes off for a few days along Seabreeze Blvd. After that, the 4th of July celebrations bring increased traffic along Las Olas Blvd. Finally, from late October to early November, the International Boat Show in Fort Lauderdale brings extra traffic into town.

I rented two identical cars at the same time, but one was regular priced, and the other was over 50% more expensive, so I asked them to make it the same price, but they said no, so I said I would cancel them all, and they said they would cancel them without a penalty, but when I checked my Visa card today, $173.96 (can) was taken out. They broke their promise.

For TWENTY minutes after returning our rental a wallet was mistakenly left in the vehicle. After twenty mins we returned and were given the wallet, but without the thousand dollars that was in it. I didn't receive help at the time and needed to catch our flight. However, since then my reports to Alamo have gone unanswered. The policy is they aren’t responsible for unattended items… no surprise there. But their lack of interest in rooting out an employee who so plainly stole a significant amount of money is… disheartening. Had my concern been escalated at the time, the employee could have been caught red-handed and the money even potentially returned. Instead, I’ve heard nothing from Alamo. I’ve left website, messaging, phone, and customer service chat complaints. No response. No response to my requests they view camera footage and the log of who was in the vehicle. At this point I’m frustrated that this hasn’t been addressed. If they aren’t going to return the money (because they didn’t take the time to speak to their employees) they should at least police them when reports of theft are made. If not, customers will have to make actual police reports.

The car was good and staff was friendly but we were charged more than expected and never received an answer when we questioned this. The amount quoted at the pick-up desk was slightly higher (about $10) than the quote. We planned to return the car with a fulll tank of gas but due to unexpected traffic we weren’t able to stop and were charged $48 (returned it with half of tank, charged for a full tank) and were charged an additional $36 for a recovery fee which we have no idea what this was for or why it was charged.
