Fort Lauderdale Car Rental — Senda Rent
Fort Lauderdale proper sits 30 miles north of Miami — a separate city with its own beach, downtown, and personality. Las Olas Boulevard is the dining and arts spine; Fort Lauderdale Beach runs along A1A; Port Everglades is the cruise port. Senda is the easiest way to bridge Miami and Fort Lauderdale on a single rental.
