Cheap Car Rentals in Fort Lauderdale

It was a bit of a challenge finding a car that worked or wasn’t damaged. We went through three - first one engine light was on, so had to drive back, second wouldn’t start, third electronics didn’t work - seats didn’t move, couldn’t plug things in, other issues in dashboard. We finally settled on an SUV that was beautiful. But not even 30 min in to drive both tires on right side were low on air. I filled them up. But noticed a gradual decline throughout using the car. And had to fill them up again to bring the car back - but tire pressure was still low. I also prepaid for the car. They didn’t have my car type. So I had to upgrade - which should be free. But it wasn’t. The guy told it was only going to be $500 extra. Which I said ok. I received a bill for over $1000. The customer rep was very nice - but it was a bit of a gong show. Overall not sure I’d recommend.

I liked the knowledge and helpfulness of the staff. The business was amazing. Respectfully, Lori

The agent was amazing when we checked in. Very helpful with directions and ver nice.

I became a Gold member in order to avoid lines and people. I was told I didn’t have to get in line just look at the screen for my name. My name wasn’t in the screen so I had to make a line. They finally tell me the exact location of my car. I get to it and I see a car that does not match what I rented. I asked two different workers there what do I do. Both of them tell me to just take the car. I explained to them I just arrived from a long flight and I have a baby. I do not want to be back and forth so please confirm. They both tell me just take it, not a problem. When I am leaving parking lot, the manager tells me I have to get all my things out of the car and go to a different car. I explained to him what his two workers have said to me and how I had already put my baby’s car seat in. Main reason I wanted confirmation before. He gets mad and me and tells me to move out the car quickly. I found it rude and disrespectful for him to treat me that way after I wanted to avoid all that and become a gold member for what? Still issues came nothing was smooth. I had my family of five getting out in the middle of the exit, rearranging the stroller and bags again. They refused to give me my license until I switched cars, acting as if I would steal something? I never cared for the car I just wanted to get my family to the hotel. The treatment was unnecessary especially since I was the one making sure which car to take. Avoid!

Booked with you all for a different location then wasn’t “allowed” to drop off to my selection point. Had to cancel last day and was only given $15 back for loss of a whole last day. Hertz informed me I was not allowed to drop off car at airport with a lock box or drop keys somewhere. Then when I took car a day early to Hertz in Port Charlotte, the manager told me I actually could have dropped off key to Punta Gorda airport, which was my original plan. Lost lots of money including paying fir Uber rides because I no longer had rental car. Horrible experience

Happy with everything! Will hopefully see you again on our next trip down

Need a shuttle from airport to off-airport rental location

It would have been nice if Avis honored the reservation. They claimed the code was put in for a hard top and not a convertible as ordered. I had to pay an additional $107. I have notified the Massachusetts Attorney General.

They wouldn’t accept my reservation. They said it wasn’t reserved directly from Avis. I was there over an hour. I still don’t know what the final charge will be.

We never got our car. We had to find and pay for another car from Hertz. I was on the phone with dollar for an hour and couldn't talk to a live person. It was 1am and I was stranded at the airport. Another 200$ to Hertz for one night, then back to the airport my first day of vacation to get another car from Avis. I am still trying to get a refund from dollar. It was a horrible experience. Hertz and Avis were great. I will not book another car with you, I will go directly to the agency.

45 minute wait to get to agent to pickup car, first car didn't work, second car had error message after 30 minutes' use. Go to a real car rental agency, not Dollar.

The pick up line was really long with very few representatives working. This was not a great experience especially after a long flight. Drop off was easy, but the price had a large difference.

This was a brand new Santa Fe. There was a mechanical issue that caused us some problems but we got through it. And the dealer, Budget adjusted the rate to compensate us for this. All in all a great experience

East process for drop off and pick up!

DO NOT TRUST PAYLESS!! They canceled our reservation the night before pick up and did not have a replacement for us! There was no one at the desk when we arrived at the airport! We were stuck trying to find a replacement and ended up paying twice the amount!!

Don't understand the need for a $200 drop-off fee for dropping the car at Ft. Myers airport (picked up in Ft. Lauderdale). Seems excessive! After all, all the cars belong to Enterprise. Even if you had a driver bringing the car back to Ft. Lauderdale, $200 is a rip-off.

Everyone I interacted with at Enterprise put my needs first. Each step was pleasant and easy with no up selling. Thank you Enterprise!

Ease of check in, getting the vehicle, and dropping off the vehicle.

Awful experience

Had to wait over an hour in line to check in. They only had two people working and there was a very long line. When I finally spoke to a rep I was told it was going to be another hour to get my car since they did not have one in the type that I ordered. I ordered a wildcard which is basically dealers choice. After I expressed my displeasure in having to wait another hour they finally gave me a truck to rent. Unlikely to use them again. Saving a couple of bucks with them was not worth the hassle.

Waited in a huge line for 3 hours and 10 minutes to get the car
