Happy_Traveler02 Posted September 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I've been told that taxi drivers are now charging for baggage. Can anyone confirm this? I'll be flying into Miami and would like to know ahead of time if I need to budget this in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be flying into Miami and would like to know ahead of time if I need to budget this in. I was there in June and wasn't charged a seperate baggage fee.

TrentS Posted September 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I've been told that taxi drivers are now charging for baggage. By who? :confused: No, that's a new one... Airlines charge extra for checked baggage, but not taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Taxis do not charge extra for luggage. But most airlines do. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanatravel Posted September 3, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The only airport or port taxi service that I know of that charges extra per bag is in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Let's hope not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACE Posted September 3, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Reading this just jogged my memory that last Saturday 8/22, when we got into a taxi at the Fort Lauderdale Airport to head towards Port Everglades, the "Fare" part of the meter was showing $2.50 and the 'Extra' side had $2.00. We had 2 pieces of luggage that the driver put into the trunk Luggage charge or some sort of toll charge for the port? Taxi Driver induced pre-tip? What is interesting is that on the way back from the port to our hotel for a post cruise stay, and then from the hotel back to FLL airport, each of those drivers never rang up the $2.00 'Extra' charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no charge for luggage by taxi drivers currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
