One Way Rental Cars in Florida
I'm looking at one-way rental cars in Florida. Is is possible to find something to pick up and return at different cities within Florida without a drop charge? I'm looking to pick up a rental car in Fort Lauderdale on September 21st and drop it off in Miami (where I'm flying home from) on September 27th. A midsize car that will seat 4 comfortably. Thanks!
My Response: When I worked as a reservation agent, over a year ago, it was possible to find one-way rental cars in Florida, without a one-way fee. It appears, now, that this is not the case. Whether it's a result of finacial hard times for rental car companies due to the economy, or just that it's the summer peak travel season, I'm not sure. I did some checking for your cities, dates and times, on a midsize car, (I assumed noon pick up and return times and no discount code) airport to airport. I could get rates for all the companies I checked, except Enterprise. Enterprise.com does not offer the option to check pricing online for one-way rental cars. When I tried, I recieved this statement:
"Renting in Florida
If you are picking up your rental vehicle in Florida, you may return it to select locations throughout the state of Florida. To reserve your next Enterprise one-way, call (866)-307-1773."
Dollar and Thrifty seemed to give the best rate, for this particular one-way rental in Florida, based on the rates at the time I checked, but, this is without knowing the fee for enterprise... I suggest giving them a call to check their one-way rate, as well. Comparing all possible options will help you to get the best rate.
Hope this helps, thanks for your question and good luck with your rental!
