Jason82 Posted November 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I've been considering the same. I used an uber fare estimator and it from FLL to Port of Miami, it looks like at least $40. Interested to hear from others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted November 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Several reports on this board of cruisers using Uber between FLL and area hotel to POM or reverse - fare should be about $40+ depending upon where your hotel is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted November 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The fare estimates are correct, should be about $40.00 on a normal day. Its a normal request, urber drivers often go from Miami to say FLL or Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet68 Posted November 15, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I don't trust Uber with all of the horror stories - I prefer licensed shuttles that I know have permits and such for the ports and airports and carry commercial passenger insurance. I have had too many friends end up in lawsuits with Uber over accidents and such and then the Uber so called insurance does not cover the passengers. You may pay a few dollars more but its better to be safe than sorry when on vacation. The shuttles are mostly $15pp of staying near an airport hotel and a bit more from he beach but it is worth it. Usually have nice vans like Mercedes and they handle your luggage. We like Jiffy Jeff Transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that happen a lot in Florida? I've used Uber in Florida several times. Once was to go from the airport in Fort Lauderdale to a Miami hotel. Then I used Uber to go from the Miami port to the Fort Lauderdale airport. The third time was to go from a hotel near the Orlando airport to the port in Port Canaveral. Thankfully, no accidents!

It's extremely easy and runs anywhere from $35 to $40 depending on where you are staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
