Fort Myers airport

Fort Myers is seen as one of the major tourist destinations of Florida. The city has grown rapidly over the past years, but it’s still a relatively small city compared to Florida’s larger cities like Jacksonville and Miami .

Fort Myers’ airport is better known as Southwest Florida International Airport and is a fairly small, county-owned airport in the South For Myers region. The airport is fairly small and serves mainly domestic flights. With only about eight million passengers passing through on a yearly base the airport is much less busy than for in instance Miami Airport with 33 million passengers.

Very nice airport. Much larger than I remembered. We went from one end to the other and at first I thought, oh no. But it is a newer, clean, fun airport due to great shops and restaurants and so there is much to look at and the time goes by quickly. Additionally, the signage is good and the people are friendly. I would recommend making sure you have a little extra time in your layover not only to make it from your landing gate to your next one, but also to enjoy some of the food and take at least a few minutes to rock in the rocking chairs just to say you did.

Budget was great right from the start! They were able to locate my reservation right away. I was provided with my desired vehicle and was shown to the airport exit. The car was spotless inside and even had apple car play, a great feature. My car was filled and ready to exit, a quick scan and I was on my way. During my stay, the car was fantastic, no problems whatsoever. Upon returning to the airport, check-out was simple, fast and easy. Great to do business with Budget and I will use again! I am booked with Budget out in California for my April vacation

Check out was a little hectic. We had a full size vehicle and they told us to go out to were the full size vehicles were and take one. The problem was there were no full size vehicles under that sign. An attendant had to go find us one. Thus the rating of 3. The check in process went much better. Clear and visible signs directing us where to go. Process was simple, drive up, park, leave keys in vehicle. Once we exited the vehicle an attendant was there to check us in. Very easy.

Whenever renting a car, I suggest making sure that you carefully look it over for damage when picking it up and promptly reporting any damage to the rental car agency employee. I also suggest looking your rental car agreement over carefully before leaving the rental car agency to make sure the rental car agency hasn't added any pre-paid fuel charges or other charges to your rental agreement without your authorization. I don't recommend pre-paying for fuel at the rental car agency as my experience has shown me they charge approximately 30 cents per gallon more than you can buy gas at most stations for and they charge you for more gallons of fuel than than your rental car's fuel tank can hold. Before returning your rental car to the rental car agency, I recommend filling the fuel tank full and making sure you save a print copy of the receipt from the gas station you went to document that you filled the tank up. When you return the car to the rental car agency, I advise that you take a picture of the dash to document that the fuel tank is full and take pictures of the outside of the car to document that you didn't do any damage to the car to protect yourself from false claims being made against you by the rental car agency. Also make sure you check your rental cars center console, glove box, and under the seats to make sure you haven't left any of your personal possessions behind.

Do your foot work on pricing and terms. It paid off with this company. Make sure you know your information for car rentals and it will go very smoothly. Picking up at the airport itself may be a bit more convernient, but it was over twice the cost. Make sure you check your check in times to make sure the rental office will be open early. Ask questions, you can't always assume what the rental agent is tell you is correct, i.e. gas prices etc.

Always pre-pay and have a rental car coverage on your personal insurance policy. My experience was super smooth and took just 2-3 minutes. They didn’t push any additional insurance on me. Also, I usually choose not to pre-pay for gas, as there is a Costco gas station a mile or so from Ft Myers airport. Since I am a member gas is always cheap there.

I think people should read the fine print before the trip so they can address the the car agent more firmly if they want to return the car filled up. At other car rental companies, I've never had to accept their pre-pay offer when offered and was allowed to return the car full.

We explored Sanibel Island and can't wait to go back. Have breakfast at The Lighthouse Cafe and take a morning walk along the beach for seashell collecting. Rent a kayak at Ding Darling wildlife refuge and explore the amazing mangroves and beautiful birds. Bike rental is so easy and since the island has safe bike paths the entire length of the island It is really fun and easy to get around the island . My favorite treat, The Blue Giraffe restaurant's amazing key lime pie on Sanibel, enjoy!

Holiday made our car rental easy and affordable. They are a third party supplier, but their quality of service was excellent, and their rental was through Avis. The best part was the price. They were much cheaper than any other travel/ car rental site. All the car rentals are riggt across the street on the lower level where baggage claim is. Another nice thing with this airport is Costco is less than 2 miles away, and there is a back road connecting to it, so you don’t need to go on the Hwy. great way to get shopping done before you start your vacation.

Be careful of connecting flights or transfers (less than 1 hour) as these can be problematic. Quick connecting (less than 45 min) flights can cause problems with baggage transfer and missed connecting flights.! When flying with someone make sure you check in the day prior to your flight, this keeps your seats together and can give you seat priority. If you have a connecting flight less than 1 hour, arrange your seats at the front of the plane this will save you 20 minutes of waiting. Remember if it is wintertime flights can run behind due to weather & plane deicing. flights that leave late can arrive very late at night. make all of your arrangements in advance as most businesses are closed, including car rental agency's & some hotels. Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. digging for these at last minute slows everyone down.. Be prepared WRIGHT EVERYTHING DOWN ON PAPER, flight, hotel, car rental info, phone #'s, rental agreements, hotel destination addresses (TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING, ..... NOW IT'S ALL ON YOUR PHONE)

Always give yourself plenty of time!! You may have been to that airport last year but things change FAST. There is not always a person to ask for help so you may need time to figure it out yourself. Book everything ahead of time. Not only do you probably save some money but it also gives you great peace of mind that you will have a car when you get there.

1. Be sure to pack light if you are vacationing. You will not need much especially if you will be on the beach daily. 2. Take a carry on verses checking a bag. 3. Be sure to arrive 1 hour prior to boarding. 4. Pack dry snacks in your bag to save money on snacking while waiting on your plane or during in flight. 5. Be sure to have your phone charger in your carry on and not in your checked bag. 6. Be sure you keep your car keys in your carry on and not in a checked bag in the event they lose your suitcase. How would you get home after you return. 7. Park in long term parking to save money or take an Uber to and from the airport. 8. Always book with Almo for all your rental car needs

My wife and I always pack a single carry-on for our vacation trips. We also forward luggage ahead of our trip via UPS ground to save airline expenses. We suggest checking-in for your flight at the kiosk 3 hours before flight-time. This technique gets us middle-to-front seating on our last 3 trips. Also, getting through "security" early makes our trip less stressful. Remember, to buy all drinks AFTER security or they'll take them from you. Enjoying the trip is a must for a good vacation experience!

We have rented from Fox several times in past years in Florida. We have had very nice attendants help us. When we returned the car we had a very friendly young lady check us out. We had originally paid for gas but decided to fill car up before returning it and was refunded gas amount immediately. We would recommend Fox as they picked us up immediately at station and rental fees have been reasonable compared to other rental agencies. My wife was allowed to drive rental at no extra charge, that was a great perk!

Fort Myers airport is a small, beautiful, well-kept airport. We didn't need a meal, but some of the restaurants looked very interesting. When we arrived, clear signage made it easy to quickly determine where we were to go for our luggage and courtesy vans. The location of most rental car agencies across the street from the airport is convenient. We needed a van to one of the lesser car rental agencies and it was a long walk with our luggage to the pick up area. The phone at the pick-up area did not connect to the agency, but only had a recorded message to get to that location and wait for a van.

If you need to eat for the duration of your flight, eat before you come to airport. You may get a better food for less price. Fort Myers airport is fairly small. Allow 1 hours to get to the gate. Buy water and snacks after you pass thru the security check point. Bring your own head phone set as you can enjoy the in flight entertainment. If your flight is longer than 2-3 hours, ask for an idle seat as it will enable easy in and out from your seat for a short walk around in the plane and going to bathroom.

Fort Myers airport has an impressive Budget rental car operation for such a small airport. It rivaled rental car stations I've seen at much larger airports (NY). The rental cars are conveniently accessed across the street from arrivals, and there were no lines. To make processing even quicker, I would sign up for Budget Fastbreak. Also, on return of car, make sure you return with extra full tank of gas. We arrived with practically a full tank, possibly a bit under depending on how you looked at the meter, and were dinged with $20 gas charge (2 gallons @ $10 each)! I also had to request a receipt from front counter, so we weren't able to dispute the charge with the intake operator.

Make sure you carefully review the contract at the desk. Do not leave the desk without completely ensuring that would you have been told is documented accurately. If you make a call back, be prepared to have your request dismissed. It is unfortunate that there seems to be no flexibility or acknowledgment of the concern. The least that could have been done would have been to adjust the time to 1:15. There was no budge. As a result, I will reluctant to use this service again.

Make reservations 4 to 6 weeks before you plan to go for the best rates. Be sure to have your drivers license and a credit card available. Your credit card will be charged $150.00, and refunded when the car is returned if you meet the terms of your rental. Prior to your travel check with your insurance company to see if you need to purchase insurance from Fox, or if your auto insurance will cover your rental. We use our auto rental for insurance and take a copy of our insurance card with us. If you will be returning your car early in the am, or late in the pm the option to let Fox refuel your car is convenient.
