schiff1997 Posted January 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thinking of taking an Uber from FLL hotel to POM morning of cruise for 3 people so 3 large cases and 3 carry on size cases, what size UBER should I be accepting? We have no UBER where we live so I never use it? Thought about shared shuttle but just want to head straight from hotel to port Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted January 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Typical UberX is a Toyota Camry, Prius, or similar sixed vehicle - I've had everything from a Honda Fit to a king cab pickup. 3 plus 3 large bags plus 3 carry ons will be a squeeze in UberX; UberXL will be more comfortable, but about twice the fare.

Capt_BJ Posted January 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I'd go XL . . . https://www.ridester.com/types-uber-cars/ usually if there even just 2 of us I go XL .... I don't want to squeeze into a Prius Edited January 10, 2020 by Capt_BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted January 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2020 We just did quite a bit of Uber in Orlando and were surprised at some of the small cars that showed up. 3 people with all that luggage, I would grab UberXL just to make sure that 3 large suitcases will fit in the trunk.

JohninDC Posted January 10, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Uber now offers Uber Comfort, with bigger cars, but not as expensive as UberXL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeMates Posted January 11, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I can't find any way to contact Uber to ask a question..... We need something large enough for 4 people, 4 bags, two carry-ons. Is there any way to arrange something like this in advance or just get off the ship and go for a cab? (FLL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we travel we have 4 people, 4 bags and 4 carry-ons + sodas. As soon as you get your luggage at the airport, open the Uber app and select UberXL then walk to the meeting point. Once you're there your vehicle should be there. If you're getting it from the port, call for the Uber as soon as you clear Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted January 11, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Definitely get an XL. XL has to seat 7. Premier SUV will be a nicer vehicle than an XL and still seat 6. FWIW, since Uber Comfort became available in my area, UberX vehicles have become bottom of the barrel so to speak. We've been getting Comfort or Premier lately just so we're not stuffed into someone's old Corolla. 1 hour ago, BridgeMates said: I can't find any way to contact Uber to ask a question.....

(FLL) There is no need to prebook. You can via the app, but part of the convenience is just getting a vehicle when you're ready rather than waiting for and searching for your vehicle.
