luvgretch Posted November 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just getting around to arranging transportation from the Lago Mar Hotel to the Pier in Fort Lauderdale. Just called a couple of places and they are quoting me $55, does that sound high, to me it does, or maybe that is just how much it cost? Any advice appreciated. Thank you.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you.:confused: Is there a reason you aren't getting a cab or using Uber? I can't imagine that either would be more than $20 and probably less depending on which terminal you are going to. It's less than 2 miles from Lago Mar to the Eisenhower Avenue entrance of Port Everglades. You just want to avoid the 17th Street bridge openings (on demand on the hour and half hour) so time your departure accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted November 20, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Call the hotel and ask them what a taxi ought to cost. Sounds to me like you are trying to use a Car Service than probably would be more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbo40 Posted November 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2015 We stayed at lago mar last year & the bellman called a cab for us to go to pier. I forget the cost but wasnt very much. Less than $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted November 21, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Take a cab. Don't need to prebook. Less than $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlscruise2011 Posted November 21, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Renting a car might be worth it too. For the cost of a cab to the hotel and to the port, depending on the type of car you need, it may be cheaper to rent a car. This way you have transportation to run to the store to pick up cruise essentials or even dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 22, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2015 We have stayed at Lago Mar several times. I would recommend taxi or uber as has been suggested for the lower price. If you do go with a private car other than uber/taxi $55.00 is what I would expect if not more. We enjoy Lago Mar and we hope you do too.

royalcruz Posted November 23, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think that private car services are quoting you their minimum rate. It doesn't make sense for them to do a ride for less, as it is unlikely they are based close by. Taxis can offer rides for less because they dispatch a car that is already in the area.
