shuttles

[Jeremy Clark]

Good morning. Starting to do some pre-trip planning. Are there any good options for shuttles that don't cost an arm and a leg? I read a newspaper article about car rentals from Everglades City Aero Park, but have not been able to confirm. Our other option might be to pay for a shuttle up to the hostel in Florida City and rent a car from there. Couldn't find the shuttle info on their new website. Thanks. JRC

I got in contact with the airport manager. If you get Enterprise to drop a car off at E.C. Aeropark, they charge $100 for a drop fee.

Sorry we weren't more helpful. As for me I have only done loop trips and have had a personal vehicle.

No problems. We have done loops at both ends. With limited time and resources, trying to plan a through trip. Our last one didn't work out. Thanks. JRC
