Disembarkation Day Car Rental

[Ali Burstad]

First time cruiser, so looking for advice. Our plane does not leave until 6:45, looking for suggestions on what to do after we depart our cruise in Miami. Is there car rentals available at the port? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the blog, Ali !!!

In Miami at the port a number of car rental outfits have shuttle buses to local offices or the airport car rental center but they typically require you to have a reservation because they don't want people using them as a free shuttle to reach the airport and fly.

Not at the port, but the airport does have shuttles.  I've personally used Alamo/Enterprise/National which has a combined shuttle bus from the port to the airport.  You do have to have proof of a reservation to gain access to the shuttle from the port.  However you can easily make rental reservations online through without any type of pre-payment or penalties for cancellation.  It's about a 15 minute shuttle ride to the airport to pick up the vehicle.

Perhaps a Miami hotel that offers a day pass?

Uber and Lyft are your friend, too. It took us all of 1 minute to get an Uber when we disembarked from Symphony this past September.

Thank you everyone!

We like to rent a car from Budget as they have a shuttle.  We've also got a resort for the day room and enjoyed that till our late flight.
