Current Price on taxi from FL cruisport to Miami airport??

[lovey1103]

Sis and I will be flying out of Miami International and will need transportation from Fort Lauderdale cruiseport. Anyone out there who can quote a current price for a taxi?

[kittyluvrnurse]

I don't have your answer, but there is bound to be a shuttle.

10-15 threads about it here; http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=672

Friends of ours recently paid $110 (one way) which I think is outrageous given the cost of fuel in the US and the fact its a relatively short trip of 23 miles.

That is why most sailing from PE try and use FLL, $15 cab ride. $85-110 is about standard to go to Miami.

A few on our sailing are using http://www.gomjstrans.com/ @ $13 pp

get a rental car, it is much cheaper. :)

Shuttles from PE to the MIA airport will run about $40+ per person unless you have a large group. Go Airport Shuttle and American shuttle are two often suggested providers.

 

A taxi from PE to MIA is about $85-100 depending upon traffic; the driver will love the fare but hates having to come back empty.

 

If you have a late afternoon flight a one-way car rental could make sense.

 

The cruise-line transfer bus is the easy and expensive solution.

 

Good luck! :)

My travel agent quoted me $60 per person from Port Everglades to Miami airport usuing the cruise line transfer. Does that sound correct?

 

Currently we have transportation booked with fortlauderdaletransfers.com. Don't know much about them though.

 

 

Thanks

That sounds right for a cruise line transfer. They are always more expensive,charging per person. We prefer not to use the ship transfers because it's a wait for everyone to load at the port and unload at different spots at airports. Just not worth paying more for.

[Ms. Lynn]

Thanks eandj.

 

OP, We are paying $30 per person with fortlauderdaletransfers.com for a shared shuttle. Our flight is @ 12:30. We requested an 8:00 am pick up.

Perhaps it's because we booked directly through Princess, but the cost for the transfer between MIA and the pier is listed as $24 per person, each way. Yes, you do have to wait for the bus to fill before you leave Miami for PE, and you do have the various stops when you return to the airport. For me, it's the most convenient way to go, but obviously, not the case with everyone.

So all of these are from the AIRPORT not Port Everglades.:confused:

So one needs to get a cab to the airport first...then consider your options?

The OP is looking from the Fort Lauderdale port at cruise's end to MIA.
