Parking at Hotel in Fort Lauderdale For a 14Day Cruise

[edsan]

Hi, looking for suggestions to leave my vehicle at a hotel for 14 Day Cruise near the Port in Fort Lauderdale.

I'm sure that would be cheaper than parking at the Port.

Free parking at hotels in Ft. Lauderdale require that you book a room and stay at least one night. The parking is only free for the first 7 days, you usually pay a set fee for each day over that. I saw Courtyard by Marriott's is $25 per day after the first 7 days, and they charge $169 for the booked one-night stay. So for 14 days you'd pay $169, plus $175 for the additional 7 days parking, would come to $344 plus tax and whatever other fees.

We have used cheap park fly several times and much cheaper than port even factoring in taxi ride to and from port.

Lately we have used Yankee trails when in season so as to avoid parking charges and eliminating drive to port.

You may wish to consider taking the Cruise Express coach if your cruise is before May and you only need to go there and back (i.e. not taking any side trips before or after). Roundtrip is $135 per person and they drop you off/pick you up at your boat.

Which hotels will give you free parking for 7 days?

You can do a google search, that's how I found it. Plug in "sleep park cruise Fort Lauderdale."

Looked into doing this. Hotels are very expensive in and around the port. Port charges $20 a day and was across the street from our ship.

Try Embassy Suites right by the port.

Try Embassy Suites right by the port.

Free for 7 days ONLY if you book a room. If you don't book a room, you have to pay for parking, AND you have to get you and your bags to the port on your own, shuttle service is not provided for people who don't book a room. Meanwhile, for a 14-day stay, you STILL have to pay for 7 days of parking, even if you do book a room.

This is typical for most hotels in the area.

I myself am renting a car from Budget Rental for one day from Leesburg location, then returning it to their Fort Lauderdale location the next day (for an April 2025 14-day Trans-Atlantic cruise). That Fort Lauderdale location has free shuttle service to Port Everglades cruise port.

My total cost for the rental, $65.70 (I think I used KAYAK or PRICELINE to do my search). I am not doing a roundtrip car rental because my Cruise ship trip ends in United Kingdom.

This was by far the cheapest choice I came up with in my research.

Perhaps you might want to consider two separate one-way rentals, so you don't need to worry about parking fees or hotel charges?

We did this and it worked out. Only problem was that there was a long line of people at Avis who were getting on the free shuttle. We ended up using Lyft. It was a Saturday and met several people at Avis who did the same

Lookup Rightway parking. Should be around $7.50/day through them. I've used them several times. They're not right at the port but they have extremely reliable and frequent shuttles to take you there and pick you up after the cruise.

We use Park & Go close to cruise port and they drop you off at your ship and pick you up at end of cruise.
