Uber or Rental Car?

[kdkstormy]

We are staying at the Marriott Beach Place and will be attending a hockey game at BB&T Center, plus shopping at Sawgrass Mills which is across the street from it.  Would it be cheaper to rent a car or take Uber do you think?  I have priced a car at $72  CDN for day, and Uber estimate is about $30US, but that isn't during surge pricing during a game.

 

Anyone have experience with this?

 

TIA

I would think cheaper for Uber or Lyft since you did not take into account parking your car.  That will be big bucks for a game.

I cannot speak for surge pricing on Lyft but have seen it on Uber.  I always check both and see who is cheaper.  A lot of times the driver drives for both.

Don't forget to factor in gas too.

Don't forget to check hotel parking costs too. Most beach hotels charge for parking. Google says it's $14/day.

if U/L is in the range that doesn't make you cringe

 

I suggest this as better so as to avoid driving in the greater Miami / Lauderdale area

 

as we say 'the rules are different here'  😱

 

(p.s. from your hotel to Saw Grass I think you hit a toll road with no cash pay option . . . so know how your rental company handles this <extra $>)
