harryw Posted January 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I flew into FLL this afternoon. Took a short taxi ride to the Renaissance Cruise Port Hotel. The driver didn’t turn on the meter and charged me $22. And he said that he only took cash, even though the taxi had a credit card system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVgirl Posted January 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2019 We've had taxi drivers try to get us in their cars as we walk towards the taxi stand. I always ask if it will be on the meter. Then they usually go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinda Posted January 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Last Feb. we took a taxi from FLL to ES. The fare was $15 plus tip. The driver was a total grump and we felt very unwelcome in the filthy cab we were in. Windows didn't work, smelled like you know what and cabbie was a crabbie. We will never use taxi's again from FLL. Uber or Lyft are the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnamac123 Posted January 20, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I landed at MIA ls December and some guy with a non-taxi car took my bags and started putting them in his trunk. I asked how much and he said $45 to POM area. I said I'd pay $20 and he said he couldn't. I took my luggage, walked 15 steps down the sidewalk, and found a shuttle service for $15 to my hotel. Know the taxi rates and don't be afraid to say no. There is always another cabbie/uber nearby. Edited January 20, 2019 by Johnamac123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
