Grab the car in Davie, not at the airport – local offices avoid FLL/MIA airport surcharges that run about $15-20 a day. A quick $20 rideshare from FLL still leaves you ahead.
Play with pickup/return dates – a 7-day "weekly" price often costs less than 5 single days; shifting by even one day can dodge weekend spikes in the winter high season.
Skip the pricey toll package – rental toll programs can add $8-12 per day. Buy a $5 SunPass at Publix/CVS and pay the exact tolls when you actually use the Turnpike or Alligator Alley.
Lean on free extras – spouses/partners are usually free additional drivers, your phone is a GPS, and most Davie hotels loan out beach chairs. Saying no to add-ons saves $10-30 per item per day.
Use membership and coupon codes – plug in AAA, Costco, or frequent-flier codes when you compare deals; they often knock 5-10 % off the same car.
Refuel away from highways – stations on I-595 or near FLL mark up 20-40¢ per gallon. Top up at neighborhood pumps or Costco/Sam's in Davie before returning to avoid the refueling penalty.
