National at Miami Airport

[EllenJ]

I know this is not Disney related but I was wondering if someone would know the answer.
We are looking to rent a car from the Miami Airport after our RCL cruise next week. I booked with National assuming that they would provide a shuttle from the port to their lot but they do not.
Does anyone know if National is in the airport or offsite? Also,
what other rental car co's are in the airport?
Thanks,
Ellen

A couple of years back I had rented a car from National at Ft. Lauderdale when I was in SoFla for my Brother in laws wedding. Long story short the car had a mechanical problem and I drove it to the Miami Airport National location to switch it out. The location is not on airport property, it is maybe a mile or so away and slightly off the main street there. I am sure that the have shuttle service from the airport, but since I was exchanging a car, I didn't need to use it. I am not sure that there are any rental car agencies with their cars physically at the terminal like they have in Orlando, but it has been a couple years since I was at MIA, I usually fly into FLL when I go to SoFla.

Thanks for the reply. I was suprised to find that they didn't pick up at the port. I guess I will have to take a taxi. That just raised the rate of my cheap rental. Oh well, you only live once!
