pittypat Posted December 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 25, 2017 We will be a party of 5 adults and 2 children traveling from FLL to Miami downtown hotel in March. My question is wouldn’t it be more reasonable to travel by a van-taxi than to request 2 uber X or XL? TIA, Pittypat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted December 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 25, 2017 7 plus bags will not fit into a van taxi or an UberXL; with 7 seats the mini-van/SUV still needs room for the driver. :confused: You'll need an UberX and an UberXL or a shared shuttle that is large enough to handle all 7 plus bags. I would also price out private transport with Larry's Limos and Go Airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted December 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I would go with a car hire. I use limos.com to price shop. They have always been reasonable and it's a great way to shop different types of vehicles. Plus, it's never an issue to get a car seat for the kids if you need one. For a little extra they will do an inside meet and greet and help with your luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinfool Posted December 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2017 You need to check with your hotel...see what they suggest or can provide. They want your business...I'm thinking they'll have a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted December 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The problem here is 7 people plus bags. Even a van taxi can't do that. A mix of an Uber XL and Uber X might work out, and it would be cheaper than two taxis. Or check out private shuttle options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLL to a south Miami hotel is $100. Not too terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal54 Posted December 30, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I use SAS, it's $15.00 per person but with your group it would be a little cheaper. ridesas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
