Port Everglades is one of the USA's busiest cruise ports and is located approximately 5 km southeast of Fort Lauderdale center. With a rental car from here, you can easily continue your Florida experience right from the dock – Miami is 40 km south and Fort Lauderdale Beach just 8 km east. The port is adjacent to Dania Beach and Hollywood, both with their own beaches and restaurants within a 10-minute drive.
Nearby you'll also find Dania Beach Hurricane, a classic wooden roller coaster, and Dania Pointe shopping district. Plan your car rental pickup in plenty of time after the ship docks – it can take 1–2 hours to disembark. Five rental agencies are represented near the port, but the selection is limited compared to FLL – book in advance.
