Transportation to Marco Island: Many visitors take a shuttle or taxi from RSW to their Marco Island accommodation and then rent locally if needed. Others rent directly at RSW for the drive to Marco Island.
On average, car rentals in Marco Island cost around $75 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $19 per day.
Compare pickup spots: airport rentals tack on 10-12 % concession fees, while Naples city or on-island desks often run cheaper. Check opening hours and total price before locking in.
Mind the calendar: prices soar Jan-Apr. If your dates are flexible, shifting to shoulder months (Sep-Nov) can cut rates in half and last-minute deals are common.
Do the math on weekly rates: a 7-day booking is frequently cheaper than 4-5 individual days. Even if you return early, the weekly plan can still win.
Rent only when you need wheels: take a shuttle from RSW to your hotel, then grab a 1-2 day car for Everglades or Naples trips. Paying for fewer rental days beats parking fees.
