chapdaddy Posted January 19, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2006 If this has been asked before, and I am sure it has, forgive me. I have seen various rates posted for Cab Rates. I am sure that someone like Trent, can give us the no bull answer to this. What are the rates from the 17th street hotels to the port, and the Airport to those same hotels. It seems that no matter what it is always 20$. That seems high from the motel to the Port however. Thanks for any input.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted January 19, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2006 chapdaddy, There are no "fixed" rates for taxis in Ft Lauderdale from one location to another as there are in Miami. All taxi's are metered. Depending on travel distance and time the metered fare can range from a low of $5 to $15 or higher from 17th hotels to the port. If your sitting in traffic or the security entrance is backed up the meters still ticking. The answer is there is no definitive fare. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapdaddy Posted January 19, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Then how can they for instance, if you take a cab from Amerisuites for instance they tell you 20$. They really don't know for a fact, correct?:) Then one should watch the meter and not accept a 20 $ upfront qoute so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't know for a fact, correct?:) Then one should watch the meter and not accept a 20 $ upfront qoute so to speak. Absolutely. Stick to the meter rate. It's a 5 minute drive from Amerisuites to Port Everglades. If they insist on the flat rate find another cab.
