Rare dshefter Posted January 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2017 We're staying in Ft. Lauderdale the night before our Escape cruise on Nov. 18 and was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation for a transportation service to and from the Miami Cruise Terminal. We're staying at a Residence Inn a mile or so from the FLL airport. There will be three of us. It's been awhile since I've used a service from FLL to MIA. Any good recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinHarvey Posted January 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Uber. It's somewhere in the $30-$35 range. We've used SAS from the FLL airport to MIA, and it fine $15 pp. If you're using it from a hotel, you need to check to be sure they run the service from that hotel. You may also be stopping at multiple hotels to fill your van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js Posted January 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I researched and booked Jiffy Jeff and also used him two years ago. However, I ended up canceling him yesterday and will use Uber. I will pay the same price and don't have to share a van with anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quebe Posted January 30, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2017 we always rent a car at the ft lauderdale airport and if you use alamo, and i know there is a few others, not sure you will have to ask, but you drop it off at the miami airport, and there is a free shuttle to the miami port,,,,,,,,,,,we use costco to rent the car that way you can change at no charge everytime the price drops and the second driver is free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzmom2girls Posted January 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I use a private sedan or suv through Go Airport shuttle. They're very affordable, don't have to share a ride and you prepay the gratuities. All four drivers that I used from this past trip (staying in Ft Lauderdale before and after), called me about a half an hour before pickup to confirm. SUVs were super clean, drivers were professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyhanek Posted January 30, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Uber. We did the same thing as you a couple months ago. Flew into FLL, spent the night in FLL and then grabbed an Uber to drop us off at the Miami Cruise Port. It was $45. They arrived in 5 minutes. Uber is allowed to drop off customers at the port but not allowed to pick up. A taxi from FLL to the Miami cruise port would be around $90 plus tip! Our Uber ride was $45 for 4 people and no tip required on Uber. There is no way I would consider a private car service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am taking Uber next month and actually came on here to ask about how to tip with Uber. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard if you don't give them something they give you a lower rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our private Navigator was $48 including tip for 5 people and 6 pieces of luggage. The driver was awesome. He then asked about our return trip and made sure he was the one that picked up.

Only tricky thing is that the Port is listed under the "airport" classification. Took me a little while to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer that the quote I am getting is $92 in a sedan for 2 people :( I want the deal you got, haha :p Edited January 31, 2017 by jvsnana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerWorshipfullness Posted January 31, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 31, 2017 http://www.fortlauderdalelimos.org/ I very highly recommend them. We rented a limo to airport-hotel and then seaport-airport. They have excellent customer service! And I thought they were very reasonably priced.
