The last time I left Ft Lauderdale on a cruise, I rented an intermediate size car (wound up getting a Lincoln) for one day from Budget. I picked it up at their Leesburg office (code=LE8) and dropped it off at their Port Everglades Cruise Shuttle office (code=EV3). Cost was less than $50. I dropped the wife and luggage off at the ship. Went to Budget (about 15 minutes away) and dropped off the car. Took their shuttle back to the ship. Fairly easy.
A few points... I had to get a ride to Leesburg to pick up the car the afternoon before the cruise. We had to leave early in the morning on the day of the cruise. I had to do the driving to the cruise. I paid with a credit card that allows me to turn down the CDW on the rental (saves about $30).
