Picking up at FLL

Rental center
The Rental Car Center sits just south of the terminals at 1800 SW 42nd St, next to Terminal 1. From Terminal 1 it's a walk across a Level 2 pedestrian bridge; from Terminals 2, 3 and 4, a free shuttle runs 24/7 every 5-10 minutes from outside baggage claim.
Driving & tolls
SunPass or toll-by-plate covers Florida's toll roads, and the rental counter will ask which option you want. I-595, the airport's main connector to I-95 and the Turnpike, includes variably priced express toll lanes. I-95 through Broward County backs up reliably at rush hour, and hurricane season (June-November) can trigger sudden evacuation-level traffic on the interstates.
Terminals
Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4

Suppliers on site

Fees that inflate the rate
FLL rentals carry a concession recoupment fee of about 10%, a rental car facility charge of roughly $3.95 per day, a Florida surcharge of about $2 per day, plus a small vehicle license fee, on top of 6% state tax.
When prices peak
December through April is peak as snowbirds and spring breakers push rates highest, with March busiest, while August through October (hurricane season) is consistently cheapest.
Money-saving tip
Book the August-to-October shoulder season, or compare a non-airport Fort Lauderdale location, to avoid the stacked facility, concession and Florida surcharge fees at the airport.

Do I need to watch out for tolls driving from Fort Lauderdale?

SunPass or toll-by-plate covers Florida's toll roads, and the rental counter will ask which option you want. I-595, the airport's main connector to I-95 and the Turnpike, includes variably priced express toll lanes. I-95 through Broward County backs up reliably at rush hour, and hurricane season (June-November) can trigger sudden evacuation-level traffic on the interstates.

For city trips a compact or economy car is usually enough and cheapest. If you are heading to Miami or Key West, size up for the luggage and distance. Compare the rate per car type above before deciding.

Does it cost more to book through CarPriceRadar than going direct?

No. You pay the same price the rental company lists either way. If you book through one of our partner links they pay us a commission, not you, and that is what funds the price tracking.
