Car Rental at Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)

Where to meet the shuttle at each terminal, why collecting off-airport costs less, and what to bring — including if you are paying by debit card.

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International is the easier of South Florida's two big airports to rent from. It is smaller than Miami, the traffic around it is calmer, and it puts you within ten minutes of Port Everglades if you are heading for a cruise.

Where we are, and why that matters

We operate from the Wyndham Garden FLL Airport & Cruise Port Hotel, 129 N Federal Hwy in Dania Beach — a few minutes from the terminals. The hotel shuttle runs every hour, on the hour, around the clock, and pick-ups are at the lower-level curbside areas; follow the hotel's wayfinding signs.

Why off-airport is cheaper

Companies with counters inside the terminal pay airport concession fees and facility charges, and those are passed to you as line items on the bill. Renting a short shuttle ride away removes them. The trade is a few minutes of travel for a materially lower total — which is also why our rates look lower than the in-terminal desks before you have compared a single feature.

Cruise passengers

Port Everglades is about ten minutes away. If you are driving before or after a cruise, collecting here rather than at the port terminal is usually simpler: you avoid the drop-off congestion on embarkation morning, and the shuttle runs around the clock for late arrivals.

Common questions

Is car rental cheaper at Fort Lauderdale airport or off-airport?

Off-airport is normally cheaper. In-terminal desks pay airport concession and facility fees that appear on your bill. Collecting a short shuttle ride away removes those charges.

How do I get to the rental from FLL terminals?

Take the free Wyndham Garden shuttle from the lower-level curbside. Terminal 1 is Sign “E” to the right; Terminal 2 is Sign “F”; Terminals 3 and 4 follow the wayfinding signs. The shuttle runs every hour, on the hour, 24 hours a day.

Can I rent at FLL with a debit card?

Yes. We accept debit cards subject to our standard requirements, including proof of insurance. Most in-terminal desks either refuse debit or require a credit check and a return ticket.

How far is Port Everglades from your Fort Lauderdale location?

About ten minutes by car. Collecting here rather than at the cruise terminal avoids embarkation-morning congestion, and the shuttle runs around the clock.
