Picking up at RSW

Rental center
The Rental Car Center is directly across from the terminal on the ground level of the parking garage, within walking distance of baggage claim. No shuttle bus is needed, just follow the Rental Cars signs past baggage claim.
Driving & tolls
Florida's SunPass/toll-by-plate system covers the Midpoint Bridge and Cape Coral Bridge if you're heading to the barrier islands; I-75, the main corridor past the airport, isn't tolled here. Traffic is light most of the year but swells heavily during snowbird season (December-April), and hurricane season can prompt sudden evacuation traffic on I-75.
