Top tips for renting a car in Plantation
- If you are moving with cheap car rentals in Plantation, you should be aware of the three toll roads that are found outside the city but within Florida. These toll roads include Florida Tollway Plaza Port Everglades, l-595 Express, and Broad Causeway Toll Plaza. While using these routes, you are reminded to pay for them through Fastrak, pay-by-plate, or cash. The Plantation car rental agencies do not cater to the charges of the toll roads in the city.
- Always remember the annual events and festivals that happen in the city of Plantation before reserving your car rentals. April and May are the most affected periods by these events in Plantation. These events include Tortuga Music Festival, the 17th Annual New Music Festival, Annual Tea Rose Pre-Mother’s Day Brunch, and Annual Behavioral Health Conference. These events lead to the closure of major downtown roads. The closure of these roads leads to heavy traffic roads due to the congestion of the vehicle getting in and out of downtown.
- Parents using cheap car rentals in Plantation should be aware of Florida's car seat laws. Because safety child seats protect children from the impact of forward motion caused by a car accident. All plantation car rental agencies offer their customers child boosters or child seats; however, there is often an added fee for this service. Children between 4 and 7 years are required to put on safety belts while using Plantation car rentals. Also, they should sit in the back seat for safety reasons whenever riding in the rental car. For added convenience, most car rental agencies in Plantation have mobile phones in the car, which maintains communication between them and the customers. Ensure your car’s mobile phone functions properly before hitting the road.
- A rental car in Plantation is an ideal way of facilitating your tour to numerous must-visit attractions in the city. The Secret Woods Nature Center, located on State Rd 84, comes across as an ideal outdoor site with numerous trails to stroll and jog. You can also take a drive to Coral Springs Museum of Art on Coral Springs Drive with your rented car and enjoy hundreds of art pieces. For a break from Plantation’s warm weather, take a trip to Florida Panthers Ice Den. The establishment is a haven for ice skaters and campers. For glamorous beaches, boat canals, and great shopping, you can travel to Fort Lauderdale, a short drive from Plantation, via a vehicle from Plantation car rentals.
- The closest international airport to Plantation is Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, which operates approximately seven miles from the city. You can find a Rental Car Center near the airport’s entrance where Plantation car rentals like Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and Thrifty offer services. You may use a Rental Car Shuttle bus to get to the center if you arrive at any Terminal. Its pick-up point is at the consolidated rental facility in Level 2. Miami International Airport, located about 24 miles from Plantation, also allows you to fly into the city. Its Rental Car Center sits on the third level, between the Dolphin Garage and Flamingo garage. While a Rental Car shuttle bus is not available, the MIA Mover will provide you with a transport mode to the center. Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise are among the car rentals in Plantation you can find there.
- Plantation has various busy roadways, consisting of Broward Blvd, Sunrise Blvd, 12th Street, University Drive, State Road 7, and Florida’s Turnpike. They branch out to numerous arterial roads that reach various neighborhoods and attractions. Thus, opting for a navigation system on your rental car would go a long way to helping you maneuver the city. Further, keeping off the roads during rush hours would help traffic build-up on most routes, such as Florida Turnpike and University Drive.
- Plantation’s morning rush hour peaks early at around 6am. It features higher than moderate traffic that worsens between 7am and 7:30am. However, roads may clear off by approximately 10am. In the evening, you can expect a rush hour from around 3:30pm. Roadways like Florida Turnpike are mostly affected by bumper-to-bumper traffic. It might be tempting to drive through University Drive to escape the traffic. But the route also features many drivers creating congestion that does not die out until about 7pm.

Cons:
Rented a large size car, they gave me a Nissan Sentra. This car was a 2016, with 10,000 Miles millage, had a flat tire and had to pay 90 dollars to have a new tire. When we arrive there, I had to call my insurance co. in Canada. to proved the young black lady in the office that I had all the covers on my policy. She talked with them for almost Half an hour on my cell phone for getting from them by fax all the documents she was asking for. I have rented many cars in my life and never had a service like this before. I was so angry when I left the place. I told Juan a very nice and polite gentlemen who is working there all my worries about was going there, he said that he was going to talk to Mike and see what Mike will do about it. Now I'm back to Canada and trying to find a document that will prove that I asked for a Large size car and they gaved me a compact one. What a shame. If for some reason you could help me in this case, I really would apreciate. If yo can send me a copy of the location, my e-mail adress..allenjimmy@outlook.com, my phone number is 1-819-764-3634. Thanks. My name is Jimmy Allen.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
After a tremendous amount of time, inconvenience, and multiple visits, we were finally given a vehicle that met our needs.Cons:
Our reservation made almost 3 months in advance meant nothing. We needed a minivan for our vavation, and there were none to be had.2.0 Poor
Mar 2017
Pros:
Nothing, absolutely nothingCons:
The facility was terrible. There was not a lot of help, the employees on pick up and drop off were slow and disinterested. Customer service was clearly NOT a priority. The car itself was terrible. It was expensive and not as described. It had 36K miles so it was older but the condition was terrible. The cloth seats in the interior were stained beyond any rental I have ever seen and there was a disgusting smell like fast food in the car for the duration of my rental. I had to buy 2 car fresheners for the vents and they did not even help in eliminating the smell. Another man that I was speaking with when I was dropping off my car was complaining that the car he just rented from them had bald tires. The rental company was disgraceful. I have rented many cars, especially in the past 3 years. I will NEVER rent from this company again.2.4 Poor

Feb 2017
Pros:
not one thingCons:
Our confirmation indicated that there was a shuttle that would pick us up at the airport (just call the number provided). When we called the number (954-731-0701) at the rental location, they told us that they did not have a shuttle and that we would have to get a cab. That was the start of our unbelievably bad experience with this Thrifty location. After spending $30 for a cab to get to the place, we were told that they had no more full sized cars, which we had reserved. The only choice we had was a minivan, so that is what we got. As we left the parking lot, I noticed that there was less than a quarter tank of gas and there was a maintenance notice on the dash. I called the office and they said that we just had to return the vehicle at the same level of gas and that the maintenance notice was probably just for an oil change and just to "ignore it". Unfortunately, when we dropped off the vehicle at Orlando, they attempted to charge us for gas at $9.99 per gallon. I then had to go to the customer service desk in the terminal to get the charges taken off. We have traveled for many years and I have to say that this has been the worse car rental experience I have ever had and I will never use Thrifty again, and that Hertz should investigate the Lauderdale Lakes location in order to preserve the Hertz brand.10.0 Wonderful
