KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

  • Hiring a car rental in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is wise. A Lauderdale-by-the-Sea car rental is suitable for you if you want to tour this Florida town, given that it will afford you the opportunity to travel directly and comfortably from one point to another at whatever time you like. It will also allow you to check out attractions in the neighboring towns of Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Davie, and Fort Lauderdale.
  • If you intend to fly to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, you can land at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) or Miami International Airport. Both airports have car rental agencies, including Ace, Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Sixt, and Thrifty. At FLL, the counters are at the airport’s Rental Car Center, adjacent to Terminal 1, and their pickup garage is a few steps from the center.

I was scammed over $100 on my car return in Miami. No one there to receive the vehicle so we dropped it off with a full tank of gas that was just filled at the gas station beside the car rental return. My final bill had $103 added to it to top up 7 gallons of fuel. Do not drop your car off without someone signing off your final invoice

Pros:

First guy in Charleston told us it would be $210 at pick up and made us buy the fuel package (so we didn’t have to fill up before we dropped off the car) and told us that they charge for a full tank and refund you the difference based on fuel level at drop off. (LIE) the woman at drop off refused to refund the difference (we dropped off with half a tank left) she made us leave and drive 10 minutes to the nearest gas station and fill up (only cost $20 and they tried to charge $80) and after dropping it off she tried to charge us extra for the time we had the car!! We had it less than 24 hours and she tried to charge us 2 days rate. She finally gave up trying to rob us but delayed us just enough time to miss the shuttle and have to pay to get to our cruise. Never will we use Budget car rental again!!!

Pros:

Nothing! I never got a car.

Cons:

They had me coming back to their location for two days and never had a car available. I finally gave up. I had made my reservation 45 days earlier and they couldn't complete their end of the bargain. The best they said they could do was they would " Let me" sit in the waiting area at the end of the line and wait for a car to appear! This was on my third trip to their location and two days after by rental was supposed to begin! While waiting we noticed that the "walk-up" rate for cars had risen to over $100/ day. I believe they "better dealed" me. My rate was $43/day. Never again! I will spread the word that Enterprise Cos.are dishonest.

Walked into an empty location with a telephone ringing off the hook. After about 10 minutes a man walked in, went behind the counter and without saying a word, nodded his head back to acknowledge my presence and call me over to the counter. The car was dirty inside and out. He said he would take it to put it through a car wash but it should have been clean when he brought it to me. Overall poor experience at pick-up. Drop-off at airport location was completely different. Very friendly people and a very easy process.

The guy at pick up was an idiot and the car was dirty, still trash in it from the last person. Also the employee put in the computer the car left with a full tank when indeed it left with the fuel light on. The guy at drop off also was sporting an attitude.
