Transportation to Ft. Lauderdale
 

We have friends who are coming down in April for a stay, and then taking a transatlantic cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. Other than air, can anyone suggest any available transportation from the Villages to the ship?

When we do a transatlantic either in or out of Fort Lauderdale, we rent a car one-way. It is really cost effective. There is a Hertz in Spanish Springs and an Enterprise in Sumter Landing that both rent one-way.

We are also doing a transatlantic out of Ft Lauderdale in April on the Caribbean Princess. Any chance your friends will be on that cruise? BTW, we're renting from Budget in Leesburg this time. Got a great price!

We were planning to rent a car and drive but it turned out cheaper to let Yankee Trails do the driving - $45 each one way.

The car rental was around $40 but they wanted a $75 one-way drop off fee.

Online, I just reserved a large car (Ford Taurus type - 24 hrs) from Budget in Leesburg, drop off at Port Everglades, for $90, including taxes and fees.

Thanks for the info......their cruising on RCCL

Last year when we went to Brasil, we took one way Enterprise car. But then had to pay $30 cab from Enterprise office to ship. watch out for that hidden cost. paid on return also.
This year we go to Italy and using Yankee Trails. But they limit baggage. First transatlantic to Rome then a bit later first cruise of MS Konigsdam. Flying back from Rome
