Fetch your suitcase, exit arrivals at Fort Lauderdale, FL Airport (FLL-Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood Intl.), and pick up your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be spending a lot of time driving in downtown Fort Lauderdale, around 4 miles from the terminal, opt for something small and zippy. A compact car with good maneuverability will be ideal for navigating those bustling city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the splendid coral reefs of the region, you’ll probably be clocking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a joy.
