WestCoastCruiser123 Posted November 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Does anyone know where I would meet my uber ride at Mia? I'm assuming there is a designated location like they have at the vegas airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojoand8 Posted November 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2016 We met ours in the arrival area where everyone picks people up. They tell you exactly where they'll be. I believe it was at the outside lane. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastCruiser123 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Thanks. Sounds easy enough. I just didn't want to wander around with my bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufc99 Posted November 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm assuming there is a designated location like they have at the vegas airport. So we can get them at Vegas! They dont take you the long way like the normal taxi drivers do they? Calling in there after the cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling in there after the cruise! Yup. In terminal 1 go to the parking deck level two something. I forget. They have a sign. Not sure if it says uber or ride share. They are great in Vegas. I don't know the pick up location in terminal 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dszrew Posted November 20, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2016 did Uber from MIA to POM. when I requested the ride, it asked me to verify which terminal I was in (by letter) and which door I was at. Then the driver called be to verify my location. first curb is for taxis, we went to the second curb and he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerngardener Posted November 20, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Arriving at MIA during rush hour. Looking for best way to get from MIA to Intercontinental Miami (near port) during rush hour. Uber vs taxi vs shuttle? Never used Uber before. Do they provide you with a flat rate vs a taxi which if stuck in traffic might be costly?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are much cheaper than the taxi but they are not a flat rate either. I live on Brickell Ave not far from the Intercontinental and have landed at 5:15 quite often coming home from Jacksonville over the last 10 months. It's rush hour but you are heading the direction away from most of it. Tell your taxi driver you want him to take 112 out of the airport to 95 south, you do not want to go on the 836. There will be a small toll but trust me, it's worth it. Most of the traffic is heading north and west during rush hour so it won't be as bad heading this way.

Decided to get data and now able to use the smart phone and DH will download the Uber app. I believe when you get to the airport and put in your locations, you then get the info as to how much it'll be. Won't that then be the exact rate? What's the range $-wise that you have paid in the past? As you can guess, first time user of Uber and appreciate all info. Thanks.
