Rental Cars at or near Port Everglades?
Hi all
I have another car rental question. My family will taking a Princess cruise out of Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale this coming February and most likely will rent a car for a day or two before or after the sailing. Other than Hertz can anyone tell about other companies that have locations at or near Port Everglades? I have found that Hertz will not allow you to return cars to this location for whatever reason. I was hoping to use them, as I would like to be able have "Never Lost." Also anyone out there ever use "Never Lost?" Also not sure if I like their rate of $80 or so for a day. Thanks M. Graham |

Graham Port Everglades is just a short hop to Ft. Lauderdale Airport. You should be able to pick up or relocate a Hertz car to that point. I think 80 bucks a day for Neverlost is outrageous. I've had it as a free upgrade many times and it's pretty good. But I don't know 'bout the 80 bucks. FYI - You can buy Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005 package WITH a GPS receiver for around $ 80.00, (Providing you want to carry your lap-top with you.) (I use S&T at least twice a week, and it's excellent.) Bud |

Thanks I discovered after looking a map that the airport and Port
Everglades are not that far away. Also looks like Budget has a rental location near Port Everglades. My guess it that Hertz is charging an extra fee to rent a car from the port and then return it to the airport. Kind of wish I had a PDA that I could use with a GPS (I have a palm Tungsten E). M.

The airport and the port are the same Hertz location. They are less than a mile frome each other. There are some fee they pay and pass on based on where the shuttle bus takes you or drops you off. All of the FLL rental car outfits serve the port. M. Graham "Bud A Bing" wrote in message . com... "Michael Graham" wrote in message om... Hi all I have another car rental question.
