Prices and availability for Fort Lauderdale come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Fort Lauderdale is a quieter, more spread-out neighbour to Miami, with the beach strip along A1A, a grid of canals behind it and the Everglades starting where the suburbs end. A car gets you between the airport, the cruise port and the beach without relying on shuttles, and puts Miami, Boca Raton and the Keys within a day trip. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport has a rental centre reached by shuttle from the terminals. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Fort Lauderdale: common questions
Is it worth renting here rather than in Miami?
Often yes. Fort Lauderdale's airport is smaller and easier to get out of, Interstate 95 links the two cities directly, and beach parking here is less of a fight. If your cruise leaves from Port Everglades, the port is minutes from the airport, so a one-day rental for a beach stop is simple.
What kind of car suits the area?
Anything compact. Roads are flat and wide, and the only stress is finding a space on the beach strip in the busy winter months. A convertible is a pleasant extra for the A1A coast road, but a small saloon or hatchback does the same job for less.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Fort Lauderdale, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
