Advice pls. Miami stay then Ft Lauderdale

[Jeannie333333]

Hi all,

 

I would really appreciate some advice.

 

My DH & I are cruising our of Fort Lauderdale in April and will be arriving via Miami International on a UK flight a few days before.

 

Currently I have reserved 2 nights at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami so we can spend the day looking around Bayside and taking a tour on a boat or a bus. We have stayed on South Beach before and thought we would try something different.

Then we are going to Fort Lauderdale and staying at Regency Hyatt Pier 66 for another 3 nights, where we will just chill out and take a few boat taxi rides here and there. :cool:

 

I am not sure on the best way to get from one hotel to the other, and would appreciate your suggestions.

Shall I try and pre-book a taxi / limo or order a taxi on the day we need it?

 

From previous visits to various parts of the USA we have found pre-booking is much cheaper - will that be the same in Miami or will taxis all cost the same whether pre-booked or not?

I know we could do it cheaper if we used public transport but we have 4 small suitcases so that would not be an enjoyable experience !:rolleyes:

 

Any suggestions on the most cost effective way, without us having to much hassle ?

 

Thanks in advance for your helpful comments

 

Jean :)

I'm not aware of taxi services giving pre-booking discounts in South Florida. Your best bet might be using one of the private shuttle/car companies often mentioned on these boards. SAS might be able to do this for you since both hotels are so close to the ports.

Try Quality Limo Service.

 

We were in Miami two weeks ago and they picked us up at Bayside and took us to a hotel in Ft Lauderdale.

 

We've used them several times with great results.

 

It was 20.00/pp to go from Bayside to Lauderdale.
