KAYAK’s top tips for hiring 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. At MIA, the counters are also in a Rental Car Center accessed by the MIA people mover. The people mover is boarded on the third level between the Dolphin and Flamingo garages.
  • You will enjoy a stress-free driving experience if you get a car rental in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, given that many of the roads in this town are well-marked, and a good number of the local road users adhere to the set traffic regulations. This notwithstanding, it’s in your best interest to keep your distance from the vehicle ahead when driving and watch out for pedestrians in highly populated parts of this city. Maintaining a safe distance is essential between cars, and being aware of pedestrian traffic is essential for a safe and enjoyable trip for everyone.
  • In Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, you’ll likely not encounter heavy traffic, given that this town doesn’t have a large population. However, if you hire from one of the top car rentals in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in May, June, July, or August, your chances of encountering traffic are significantly higher. This is because, during these months, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is flooded by tourists, and several of them opt to move around using rental cars. The roads most affected by tourist-caused traffic are those that serve popular local attractions.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving a car rental in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?

    Car rentals in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea offer intermediate rentals, full-size and premium sedans, luxury rentals, minivans, and standard SUVs. The Lauderdale-by-the-Sea car rental you settle on must be spacious enough for you and your companions. If you plan on using the rental alone, an intermediate rental will suffice. On the other hand, if you plan on riding in the vehicle with four other people, consider renting a minivan. Furthermore, your rental should easily reach the destinations you want to visit. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is full of fun destinations served by gravel and dirt roads. If you’d love to visit some of them, rent a standard SUV, as SUVs are built to handle such roads.

  • What’s the speed limit when driving a car rental in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?

    When driving car rentals in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, unless otherwise posted, ensure you don’t exceed 30 mph on roads that pass through residential and commercial areas and 20 mph near schools. On the surrounding freeways and interstate highways, you must not exceed 70 mph. Note that the minimum speed limit on busy roads such as freeways and interstate highways is 50 mph. Speed limits are heavily enforced in this town. As such, watch out for speed limit signs and always adhere to them to avoid incurring unnecessary, hefty fines.

  • Where are the best places to park a car rental in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?

    You’ll have an easy time parking your Lauderdale-by-the-Sea car rental, since this town is home to several metered parking spots. The metered parking spaces are available on Basin Drive, Beach District, East Tradewinds, El Mar Lot, Friedt Park, South Ocean Lot, West Trade Winds, and Sea Grape.

I couldn’t make my trip and instead of reimbursing your customers, you made me pay double. I’ll never use this crappy service again. Everyone should be aware of this service. I will for sure be blasting this joke of a service on the internet

The Budget rental was a great experience. The lady at the counter was friendly and helpful and helped me get the paperwork taken care of. Every state has different rules and regulations which she understood and explained. The car had about 30 K miles so it had a ding or two that she pointed out to me without me having to closely inspect the car. It was a nice experience with very little stress. Thank you Upon return, the employee at the counter was helpful and pleasant. No questions with the return and was notified by E-mail that no issues were found when returning the car. Help with transportation to our final destination in Ft. Lauderdale. Thank you again for a pleasant experience.

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
