Rent a Car at Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is South Florida's second-largest airport and an excellent hub for picking up a rental car – with 64 rental agencies represented here. The airport is located approximately 5 km south of Fort Lauderdale center and 40 km north of Miami, making it a perfect starting point for exploring all of South Florida. Directly outside FLL run I-95 and US-1, which provide quick access to both Fort Lauderdale Beach (10 minutes, 8 km) and Everglades National Park (approximately 1 hour west).

Pick up your rental car at the Rental Car Center, which you can reach via a free shuttle from the terminal – allow an extra 10–15 minutes.
