Fort Lauderdale to Miami port

[Travel-Diva]

We are flying into Fort Lauderdale and leaving on a RCC from Miami Port. We were going to rent a car at FLL airport and drop off at Miami port? Has anyone done this before? What companies have you used. Do they shuttle you to the port? We were thinking about staying in Fort Lauderdale 1 night, any hotel recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank you

If you come over to the Florida Departures board, here:

You will see dozens of discussions on your questions. Answer is you return the car at the airport, almost all car companies have shuttles to the port.

Yes, some car rentals do have shuttles to port and one-way rentals. Google "car rentals, Ft. Laud/Miami" and you can see what's what! You should also google SAS Transportation...might be less than a car rental.

You might want to consider that Uber X (their regular car) will cost you around $40 (for the car/driver). Compare this to other offerings and Uber is hard to beat. For us the advantage is we get Uber on our own schedule (you summon them when you want them) and you do not have to wait for others, make other stops (like many shuttle services), etc.

Sorry for the quick hijack of this thread. But, would that Uber X price be similar for a journey from Fort Lauderdale cruise terminal to Miami South beach?

 

Many Thanks

If you go to the Uber website, you can type in the destinations. It will give you an estimate. You don't have to download the app or join. It only takes a minute.

Yes it would be similar but as champagne123 suggested, check their website for pricing. We have used Uber several times between FLL and the Port of Miami with very good success. It should also be noted that with Uber, you can pre-reserve your return from the Port of Miami to FLL, which makes that very easy.

 

Just our preference v rental cars if all we are trying to do is get between the two with no additional sightseeing or detours. However on our last cruise we had time after the cruise and did rent a car. We used National (my preference due to business travel status with them) and they have a South Beach location as well as at MIA. We took a regular shuttle (not sure if they provide their own) from the POM to MIA and then dropped off the next day at FLL.

The website is uberestimate.com

I use rideguru.com to compare Lyft/Uber & taxis. Has been very reliable.

Uber would be really expensive for a party of 5. Is there shuttles at FLL airport and Port of Miami
