Transportation to Port of Miami from Airport with kids

[mrobinson]

Family of 4 with 2 children, ages 3 and 7. Will be flying into Miami airport and going to Port of Miami.

 

Trying to figure out best and most economic way to get to the port since I understand that we need a car seat for the 3 year old.

 

Am I correct that we wouldn't be able to use a cab or Uber since they wouldn't have a car swear.

 

We don't want to have to bring our own since that is a pain.

You would need a car seat.

 

And the economical way would be to take Uber or Taxi.

 

I know it's a pain to bring a car seat but I would do just that. Only way to really get around it would be a shuttle or rent a car.

if you ride in a bus

 

like the typical cruise provided shuttle service

 

the car seat is not required

 

this is not the least expensive but gets around bringing the seat.

The airline will check the seat for free if you do not want to use it on the flight. ;)

 

The cruise line transfer bus costs about $20+ per person -- taxi is $27+tip and Uber will be under $20. Same fares will get you back to MIA after the cruise. So using the transfer bus will cost you about an extra $50 each way. :(

 

I would save the $$, bring the seat and use Uber or a cab - your call.

Hi, I'm in the same boat, kind of. I would rather pay a bit more to NOT bring a car seat.

 

If you're coming straight from the airport, I would get a private shuttle to the pier that offers carseats.

 

My issue is, we have private shuttles for my group of 11 to and from the airport, but I don't have a shuttle from my hotel to the pier and its only 2 miles away. My plan was to have the rest uber and we'll (myself, husband and 3 year old) have to pay a little more ...but I don't even know who would offer this service for such a short drive.
