RSW Airport Guide

Car Rental at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW)

Southwest Florida International Airport (IATA: RSW) is the main gateway to Fort Myers and the surrounding region, including Cape Coral, Sanibel Island, and Naples. All major car rental brands operate from RSW's centralized rental facility.

🚐 Consolidated Rental Facility (CONRAC)

All 8 rental brands at RSW operate from the same off-terminal facility. Free shuttles run 24 hours from the baggage claim level — look for the 'Rental Car Shuttle' signs on the ground floor. Allow 10–15 minutes from landing to reaching your vehicle.

📋 What You Need to Pick Up Your Car

Bring your driver's license (international visitors need an IDP), the credit card used to book, and your booking confirmation. All brands at RSW require a valid credit card — debit cards are accepted by Enterprise and Alamo with advance notice.

🌴 Peak Season Warning (Dec–April)

Fort Myers is a snowbird destination. Rental car inventory at RSW runs tight from December through Easter. Book at least 2 weeks ahead during this window. If you arrive and your booking is unavailable, call +1 (888) 381-2713 — LF Tours agents check all 8 brands in real time.

💰 Airport Fees Explained

Rates at RSW include a 10% airport concession fee and Florida state taxes. This is standard at all Florida airports. Off-airport locations in Fort Myers can be 15–25% cheaper but require an Uber or taxi to reach. LF Tours shows total price including all fees — no surprises at the counter.

⛽ Fuel Policies at RSW

Most brands at Fort Myers Airport offer a "full-to-full" fuel policy — you return the car with the same fuel level. Budget and Alamo also offer a prepaid fuel option. Avoid the rental company's fuel if you can — their prices are typically $1–$2 per gallon above local rates.

Tips for Renting a Car in Fort Myers, FL

Fort Myers rewards drivers. Use these tips to get the best rental for your Southwest Florida trip.

🏝 Get an SUV for Sanibel Causeway Trips

The drive to Sanibel Island and Captiva requires crossing a toll causeway ($6 each way). Any car works fine, but an SUV gives you extra cargo room for beach gear. Alamo and Enterprise offer the best SUV rates at RSW.

☀️ Consider a Convertible

Fort Myers averages 271 sunny days per year. Sixt and National both offer convertibles at RSW — a Mustang convertible from Sixt is a popular pick for coastal drives along Estero Boulevard.

🗓 Book 7+ Days for Discounts

Weekly rental rates in Fort Myers are dramatically cheaper per day than daily rates. If your trip is 5+ days, price a 7-day booking against your actual dates — you may pay less for the extra days.

🅿️ Parking Tips in Fort Myers

However, the cheapest brand on any given day depends on the dates, vehicle type, and how far in advance you book. LF Tours compares all 8 brands — Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, Sixt, Europcar, Alamo, and National — so you always see which is cheapest for your specific dates. Prices fluctuate daily, so comparing live at lftours.com is the only reliable way to know.
Most car rental brands at RSW Fort Myers Airport require drivers to be at least 21 years old, though renters under 25 typically pay an additional "young driver surcharge" of $25–$35 per day.
