POM to MIA - Taxi vs Shuttle

[trini_ras]

What is the best choice to get to Miami International, for my wife and I.

Will they take the same time?

What about the cost?

:confused:

For a taxi, there is a flat rate of either $24 or $25 plus tip (both rates have been reported here) direct between MIA and the POM (no stops along the way). A shuttle bus service charges per person, so depends on the number in your party. Most just grab a cab - it's quick and easy. You certainly could share a cab with another person or couple as well, if desired.

As discussed here many times, taxi.

Taxi - flat rate and the trip only takes about 15+ minutes (you'll be half way there before the shuttle van is filled up!). Good luck! :)

Without a doubt for two people I would go with taxi over shuttle. Cost will be around the same if not cheaper and it would only be the two of you.

Taxi's are almost always cost competitive with shuttles, and much more convenient. Just get in a go, no reservation required, no waiting around for others. They are fast, convenient and there when you need them:)

Thanks for your reply :D

I did try to find previous discussions on the topic finally gave up 5 pages deep :o

Are there taxis available that are SUVs or minivans? There are 4 of us plus luggage and we do not pack light. TIA

We had a van last time we used a taxi at PoM.

Yes - you may need to wait a minute or so as others take the sedans; the good news is that the price is the same! :D

Stick with the cabs.

 

You might see a few van /shuttle drivers walking the cab line saying they are leaving immediately for the airport. For only $10. Don't leave your line. :rolleyes: That's how shuttle drivers lure passengers. They charge per person and won't leave until they have a full van. This is a practice done at POM and PE.
