A car is useful for trips to Miami or the Everglades, though the beach area is walkable.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) has a rental car center next to the terminals. Florida turnpikes use cashless tolls.
Tips for a cheaper car rental in Fort Lauderdale
- Compare several rental sites at once. The cheapest company in Fort Lauderdale changes with your dates, so search DiscoverCars and Kayak before you book.
- Book early and pick free cancellation. Rental prices usually rise close to the date, and a free cancellation booking lets you rebook if prices fall.
- Compare airport and city pick-up. Picking up at FLL is easiest, but offices in town can be cheaper because they skip airport fees.
- Return the car with a full tank. Prepaid fuel and refueling charges at the counter cost more than filling up yourself.
- Check what your credit card already covers. Many cards include rental car insurance, so you may not need the extra cover at the counter.
- Florida has many toll roads. Ask how the rental company charges tolls, since daily toll-pass fees can add up on a long rental.
