googalini Posted February 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We are considering staying at the HI Express Ft Lauderdale Conv Center, which offers shuttle service to the port for $8/pp. I believe the hotel is @ 1 mile from the port. We are a family of 5. I was wondering if it would be cheaper to get a taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2011 5 + luggage will require a minivan cab, but yes it will be lots cheaper. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted February 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Cheaper but the shuttles can be pretty zoo like. I have seen them over book and get semi-ugly. Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJ Posted February 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I wouldn't pay $40 to get the family to the port that close. If you have issues getting a mini-van cab to come, (you may have to call pretty early and see if they will send one at a specific time), then I might be inclined to take the luggage on the hotel shuttle with me, and send the rest of the family in a cab.

Plus you can go whenever you want and don't have to wait for the shuttle and get loaded on like a herd of cattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
