Alamo Car Hire in Fort Lauderdale

Alamo operates at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) from a consolidated Rental Car Centre shared by all major brands. Renters arriving at Terminal 1 can reach the RCC via the Concourse B pedestrian bridge, whilst those landing at Terminals 2, 3, or 4 take a free shuttle from the lower-level Ground Transportation area — shuttles run 24 hours a day. Budget roughly 20 to 45 minutes from baggage claim to the Alamo counter on the RCC's second floor, with waits stretching longer during peak travel periods between December and April. Florida's expressways are fully cashless, so Alamo's TollPass programme is worth factoring into your budget: the daily fee applies on each day you use a toll lane, and opting out means tolls are billed at the higher pay-by-plate rate with additional admin charges that can arrive weeks after you return home. Fuel in the Fort Lauderdale area runs around US$3.89 to US$3.97 per gallon; refuelling before returning the car avoids Alamo's higher in-house fuel rate. A credit card in the primary driver's name is required at pickup — no debit cards are accepted — and the authorisation hold is typically around US$400, rising for larger vehicle classes. Drivers whose licence uses a non-Latin script should carry an International Driving Permit.
