Shuttle from POM to FLL hotel

[Jenner9]

We are staying one night in FLL post cruise. We are sailing POM. Are there any shuttles that will pick us up at POM and bring us to our hotel in FLL?

[CruiserBruce]

Just read down the board. There are several recommended. QLS, for example.

[Jenner9]

From what I've read most pick up from the Port and take you to the airport. I need to know if any will take you to a hotel after the cruise. Most websites only quote a price from Port to the airport as well.

QLS is picking me up from my Hollywood hotel and bringing me to POM for my cruise next week. I know its the opposite way you need but I would think it wouldn't be an issue for them to reverse it. A quick email will answer your question. Karina has been very helpful with me and my reservation. I have made several changes and each time, she's been very responsive.

Check with QLS transportation (www.qualitylimoservice.com ), SAS (www.ridesas.com), and Go Airport Shuttle (http://goairportshuttle.com/). If there are 3-4 in your group it may be easier to just grab a cab for about $85. Good luck! :)

[Jenner9]

Thanks! I will check those all again...I just thought they only took from the port to the airport!

You should also consider renting a car one way to FLL.

When using either a shared ride shuttle, or a private sedan in Florida, what is the usual amount expected as a tip to the driver? Is it a percentage of the fare?

[Florissouri]

Gratuity is usually 10%-20%. Some private sedan companies add it automatically.

 

Private Sedan is going to be $75-90 plus tip. A rental car is usually about half that cost.

 

Shared shuttle charges per person so if there are 2 or more in your party it would cost as much or more than a rental.

I checked Dollar for car rental and it was over $100 for a day!!! :eek: We just decided to do a shuttle. The hotel we are staying at will shuttle us to the airport for free.

 

As far as tipping, the GO shuttle I checked out gratuity was included. I'm not sure about QLS, which is the other shuttle I am looking at.

I believe both of these companies do:

I was in the same boat you are, and was shocked that so many shuttle companies will ONLY take you to the airport and not a Fort Lauderdale Hotel. As it happens we changed our plans, so now we are flying in and out of Miami. I haven't used either of these companies - just called around and those were the two I came up with.

 

Good luck!

Check Alamo.

Check Alamo.

 

Alamo is also over $100! :eek: It's okay though I just went ahead and booked a shuttle or I will be as soon as my hotel is confirmed. QLS will take us to a hotel from POM.

 

Thanks!

Well I tried to book through QLS but they don't take from POM to my hotel in FLL, which is Westin Beach Resort. They can take us to the airport but then we will have to grab a taxi to the hotel. Are there any shuttles that will go directly to the hotel from the POM?

Try ridesas.com. They are picking us up from POM & taking us to our FLL hotel. We are using them for pre-cruise as well, not sure if that makes a difference.

try SAS they were great for us in May...

In addition to rental cars and shuttles (Go Airport Shuttle is another FLL based option (http://goairportshuttle.com/)), you might check out limo/car services -- usually less than a cab, a much nicer ride, and not too expensive if you split the cost among 3-4 in your group. Larry's Limos has been suggested oftne on these boards for Miami service.

Good luck! :)

[Jenner9]

Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up going with Larry's Limos!

How do you know what time to put on the reservations with these companies? I would like to make reservations with one of these companies for my POM to FLL transfer, but I have no idea what time we will be getting off the ship?!?

Unless you are carrying your bags off and trying to make an early flight, we usually tell them between 9:00-9:30. Most of the shuttles will give you the driver's cell #, or they will call you; getting off the ship, finding your bags and clearing customs/immigration is not an exact science. :(
