FAQ
How can I pay for my rental car?
Payment for a rental car should preferably be made by credit card. It is possible to pay by debit card, however at the rental counter you will need a credit card issued to the main driver in order to secure the deposit for your rental car.
Who is allowed to drive the rental car and what are the conditions?
A rental car can be driven by a main driver, that is the person registered in the booking. Additional drivers may be added to the reservation at extra fee. The main and additional drivers are to present a valid driving license, which they have been in possession of for at least one year (please refer to the rental conditions), and a valid identity card/passport. Additionally, the main driver is to present a valid credit card issued in their name.
Do I have to pick up and return the car at any time? What happens if I am late for pick-up?
We recommend that you pick up the car at the agreed time as the availability of the car cannot be guaranteed in case of a delay. As a rule, local suppliers keep vehicles available up to 30 or 60 minutes after the agreed time. If a delay is inevitable, please contact the rental agency (you will find their contact details on the voucher).
What documents are required to pick up the vehicle?
When picking up the vehicle, the main driver is to present the following documents: the printed voucher, their identity card or passport; their driving's license and their valid credit card.

Fort Lauderdale Attractions and Travel Tips

Cheap Car Rental Fort Lauderdale

Car Rental at Fort Lauderdale Airport

The palm tree-lined coastal oasis of Fort Lauderdale offers everything from raucous beachside bars to sophisticated waterfront restaurants. People come for the seaside and stay for the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Close to the Everglades, there are many day trip opportunities with rental cars from Fort Lauderdale Airport, including trips to Miami, the Florida Keys, and Biscayne Bay. 

Main attractions in Fort Lauderdale

The beach and its proximity to the city is understandably Fort Lauderdale’s main attraction. You'll find a plenitude of swimming, snorkeling and sailing opportunities directly from the beach and port areas. If you're chasing relaxation, it’s worth taking a rental car from Fort Lauderdale Airport to calm spots like Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The further north you head, the quieter the beaches tend to become. Another key attraction here is the water taxi experience which navigates Fort Lauderdale's canal-like waterways, bringing a little slice of Venice to America. There are also many picturesque historical buildings-come-museums to visit in Fort Lauderdale, including Bonnet House and Stranahan House.

No trip to this region is complete without an alligator experience in the Everglades, a national park which consists of swamp, river, lake, and wetland all in one. It takes roughly 20 minutes to reach the edge of the parkland when you rent a car from Fort Lauderdale Airport. This vast protected region covers some 1.5 million acres and includes a number of stellar attractions, including exciting boat tours, the Miccosukee Indian Village, Shark Valley, the Wilderness Way, and Big Cypress National Preserve.

Tip

Fort Lauderdale is the perfect base for short sailing excursions. You can park your cheap rental car from Fort Lauderdale Airport at the marina and book a sailing trip down the coast, all the way to Biscayne Bay. You can even find a number of unmissable day trips out to paradisiacal Bimini by ferry, taking roughly two hours by boat each way.

What to eat and drink in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale has a vibrant food scene with a large concentration of family-owned Italian-American restaurants. It has also developed a burgeoning farm-to-table sustainable ethos over the last few years. In particular, there are plenty of fantastic fish and seafood restaurants like Kelly’s Landing and Even Keel offering freshly caught dishes, and Japanese-inspired eateries like Etaru and Phat Boy Sushi. Adventurous diners may even want to try alligator meat. You can find this all over town, including at the charming Lulu's Bait Shack, a beachside sports bar, and Rustic Inn, just moments from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport.

Kids activities in Fort Lauderdale 

Fort Lauderdale is the perfect destination for family-friendly fun. Fort Lauderdale Museum of Discovery and Science downtown is a great indoor option, with plentiful aquariums and baby alligators to fawn over. You’ll also find a wealth of seaborne activities for all the family, including surfing, paddling, and snorkeling for little ones. There are also plenty of attractions accessible with a cheap car rental from Fort Lauderdale Airport too, including Butterfly World, Flamingo Gardens and, of course, the Everglades.
