FLL Ft Launderdale --> MIA Miami Alamo Compact

[ufauxreal]

I wanted to title this "Be careful of what you wish for." This rental car is pre-cruise. I checked the regular priceline rental rates and they were all around $100+. So I decided to put in what I thought was a REALLY lowball offer of $20 to see if they would counter. Once again, to my surprise, they accepted the offer!!! The details are:

Alamo Compact Car

Pick-Up : Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood Intl (FLL)

600 Terminal Dr Suite 202, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315 - On Airport

Drop Off: Miami Intl (MIA) - 3900 Nw 25th St, Miami, FL 33142

Pick-Up Date & Time: Saturday, January 12 2013 - 2:30 PM

Drop-Off Date & Time: Sunday, January 13 2013 - 10:00 AM

Your Offer Price: $20.00 (per day)

Total Rental Days: 1

SubTotal: $20.00

Taxes and Fees: $16.41

Total Rental Car Charges: $36.41

The cruise line offers a shuttle bus from FLL to the Port of Miami for $44 for 2, so this even beats that price, to say nothing of going back to the airport and then waiting around until the bus fills up. We're most pleased.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you got a great deal and the convenience of driving yourself.

...to say nothing of going back to the airport and then waiting around until the bus fills up.

The biggest drawback of all shared ride services, but it's even worse if going from Airport to Hotel since you also may end up stopping at all the hotels of everyone else on the bus.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
