Worst parking lot experience yet.

Flight was for 7am, got to the parking lot with 30 minutes to spare which was a good thing. No one was there when we arrived, in spite of the fact that we made reservations. It took 20 minutes or so just to get us to a shuttle, after scrambling to get 3 parties setup. Very unorganized. I also didn't care for the parking since it looks to be a body/auto shop of some kind and although gated, not sure I felt it was safe. Pick up from the airport also took a little longer (20+ min) even though we called ahead. I would look for alternatives.

Hi Adrian,

I understand your frustration and I apologize. I hope you can understand Memorial Day Weekend was the busiest weekend of the last 2 months, we were sold out from walk ins. More than double the amount of customers showed up Saturday morning, the 23rd, than were expected because they did not make reservations. This isn't an excuse, I just wanted to give some insight to the situation.

Also, yes there is a mechanics/body shop on site which services a lot of our clients who want to fix dings/scratches or get their oil changes while they are away. It is completely safe being gated, fenced in, having security cameras, etc.

Once again I want to apologize; any normal weekend you would have received far greater service. Thank you for your review. I will definitely be more prepared for the upcoming holiday weekends.

Promises kept in every way

Our first time using this service. The drop off was on time. The pickup was reasonable. Driver friendly and showed complete interest in helping customers. Will call on this company again for airport parking. Nothing bad to report.

Good service Fair price.

It was a good experience, unfortunately they did not allow me to see where my car would be parked during my trip... I always have an uneasy feeling when a company keeps you from having all the information needed to leave in peace.
The place is not a parking lot, is a car shop's lot that they use to provide the service; the area is not that friendly, is not paved and is full of pot holes.

Other than that the driver was friendly and punctual.

Hi Daniel,

I apologize for not making you feel 100% at ease and comfortable. Just so you know all the cars are parked in the back of the lot (never moved off the lot). Clients are not allowed in the back for insurance reasons, but I can assure you it is safe and secure. Hopefully this can put you a little more at ease.

Until next time Daniel.

Very unhappy that my car was not ready upon arrival at their facility.

The van responded quickly in the midafternoon to pick us up at the airport, about 15 minutes away.

I left my car for 18 days. Two days before our return trip, I called to remind them of our return. I fully expected the car to be waiting and ready to go upon our return to their facility. Instead, we had to wait 15-20 minutes in the hot sun for Kevin to LOCATE the car. There was not even the slightest apology given for this delay.

We do NOT plan to use Park by the Ports again.

Hey Stanley,

I do not recall the situation as it was a few weeks ago, but I sincerely apologize for not having the car ready & waiting for your arrival. Let me redeem myself by giving us another chance on the house; one week of free parking. I know I can provide you with the quality service you deserve.

Got there late and they still shuttled us to the ship. After the cruise, easy pick up at port

Good service

Was accommodated at the last minute and excellent, fast transportation to the cruise terminal. Pickup three weeks later at Fort Lauderdale Airport was about a 20 minute wait for their van. My only complaint was that when I asked the driver to wipe off the numbers they "painted" on the front and rear windows of my car, he was annoyed and told me I should do it myself at a gas station. I had actually fallen on my trip and had unbandaged open scrapes on my hands, so to expose my hands to 'gas station water' to have to clean off something they had put on my car was unacceptable -- and I had already tipped him. I insisted he do it (he was the only person there at 8 PM (office was locked up) and he was not making another run to the airport at the time, so no real excuse for his attitude. I would use them again, though, although my personal preference is self-park rather than valet. Also, they are not open 24/7 (this may have changed since I was there), so if your plane arrives late, you will have to stay at a hotel overnight before you can retrieve your car. The facility appears to be used for many things, with lots of buses and vans all over the place. The appearance is a concern, because you can't help but wonder if your car will be jockeyed around and dented, but mine was OK.

Hi Stephanie,

Would you be able to identify the driver by name or what he looked like? I would definitely like to speak with him. He should have wiped off the numbers with no problem or attitude. I apologize on his behalf.

Also, if someone arrives late they will be able to retrieve their car at any time. They will NOT have to stay at a hotel nor make any other arrangements because they will be able to retrieve the car.

We take pride on how we handle our client's vehicles. No car will ever be "jockeyed around." We are professionals here at Park By The Ports.

Thank you not only for taking the time out to write a thorough review, but also your honesty and constructive criticism. We take all of our client's feedback seriously.

Excellent Place to Park for a cruise!

Have parked in many areas in the FLL area for cruising over the past 10 years. Park by the Ports is now our pick going forward. It was recommended by friends and we have used them twice now with satisfaction. They are not always the quickest at getting you to the port because they make additional stops along the way, but other than that, they are as professional as any of the major parking facilities and better than most of the second tier at making the experience a good one. Email confirmations could get a little quicker - we have had to call and ask for them.

Mark,

I am delighted with your satisfaction. Thank you for the kind words.. We are setting up a new reservation system, so you will get online reservations right away and we will be adding more vehicles for the upcoming cruise season for direct transfers to/from the port.

Once again, thank you!

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the honest review. Did you see any of the "KSA Tours" fleet of vehicles? They do the bulk of our transportation from the cruise port. In regards to the wait time, we do advertise 40+ minutes after 10:00 AM. In any case we are adding more vans and minibuses to the Park By The Ports fleet for quicker and direct transfers. We will be better for you.

Cruise ship parking

Was disappointed in the distance and time taken to be picked up and returned to our car at the end of the cruise. Will likely consider alternatives that are closer and more convenient.

Horrible Experience

Cramped and dirty parking lot also serves a commercial vehicle repair service. Had a late flight and the porter couldn't find my car. Then when he did, the battery was dead and the windows were left open. nice.

Hi George,

Thank you for your honest review. I believe we spoke the day after about the issue and resolved the matter due to the faulty key.

Thanks again,

Worked Great!

We have used this service twice in Ft Lauderdale. It worked great for us. We used it to park our car and ride the shuttle to and from the port. We didn't have to wait at either end. The drivers were courteous. One perk was that by parking at the garage we were able to get our car serviced and repaired while we were cruising. I would highly recommend this company.

Truly a great experience.

Once we were back in port, we were on the bus back to the car park, in our car and on our way home within 20 minutes. What a wonderful job by all the employee's getting us on our way. Thank you so much. We will use this company again and again.

A disappointing end to a wonderful cruise

We are dismissed on the cruise ship by cabin/floor. My dismissal time was 10:15 and while the ship was trying to disembark 5000 people, it takes time. When we finally got thru customs and got our baggage, we waited 1-1/2 hours for a KSA van to pick us up. One marked bus came in to unload but the Port Authority would not let us go over and said that the bus would be back around to pick us up. After three phone calls and a testy operator we finally grabbed a Marriott/KSA bus and they called for a transfer. I would not use them again. Park N Go was closer and their vans were in the drop area 6 to 1 over everyone else.

Hi Candy,

We apologize for the disappointment on the pick-up end. Unfortunately we cannot control Port Authority and if the driver could not see you because you were not allowed to go to him then he would have no idea that people were waiting.

Thank you for your honest review. We will continue to add vehicles and drivers to balance out port traffic and delays at Port Everglades.
