Late shuttle from FLL to Miami hotel

[hartskys]

We are looking for a shuttle for 2 people from Fort Lauderdale airport to a downtown Miami hotel. We normally use JMS ($13 pp) but they won't pickup after 8pm and our flight gets in at 9:20pm. We don't want to rent a car because the hotel charges parking so we are hoping to find someone reasonable for a shuttle. Hope someone can help. Thanks

Go Airport is based inside the FLL airport and will take you to Miami anytime -- check on-line for a price quote. A taxi to a downtown Miami hotel will run about $75-80+ :eek:

 

You may want to rethink your plans and stay near FLL and shuttle to POM the next day. :cool:

Excuse my butting in - JohninDC, is this the recommended/economical choice for flying into FLL with a next day cruise out of Miami?

Lots choose to fly into FLL and stay nearby -- cheaper flights and comparable hotels are usually less expensive than Miami or Miami Beach (and the Fort Lauderdale area is generally more family and tourist friendly than downtown Miami ;)).

 

The ride from the FLL area to POM the next morning takes about 45+ minutes, so it is easy to get to the port by (or before noon) and with many more making the trip finding a shuttle for about $15 per person each way is easy.

 

The OP was arriving at 9:20 which means he is not likely to have bags and be loaded into a cab/shuttle before 10:00, which puts him into Miami close to 11:00 -- why pay extra for the transportation and hotel when you are arriving that late? :confused:

Thanks for the help! We almost always fly Southwest and have previously used SAS to get to POM but only on the same day of the cruise. We're going a day early this time. Staying at a FLL airport hotel appeals to me much more than Miami.
