Parking and Driving in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale has public parking garages, public beach parking lots and off-street parking lots where you can conveniently park your rental car. Most of them accept either cash, cards or apps. Some parking lots require a permit, but these are clearly marked. Most public parking garages offer up to 12 hours of parking. But be careful with beach parking, as some only offer up to 4 hours. Street parking often allows up to 3 hours of parking.
If you plan to drive around the city in your rental car, be aware of some of the regular events taking place, as they are likely to disrupt traffic. Examples include the Las Olas Art Fair in January, the Pride Festival in February, the Tortuga Music Festival in early April, and the International Boat Show in late October and early November. Keep those in mind when booking your car rental Fort Lauderdale.
Traffic is relatively light compared to other major cities. Only the evening rush hour on I-95 is likely to be congested.

Driving Tips in Florida
Driving Tips: Before you enjoy driving around in sunny Florida there are some things you should know. Speed limits are 20-50 mph within cities and 55-65 mph on rural roads. Interstates are between 45 and 70 mph depending on whether they are urban or rural. Right of way at unmarked intersections goes to the driver on your right, and drivers on unpaved roads must yield when entering paved roads.
