Taxi’s (Not Uber or Lyft) From FLL Airport to Homewood Inn & Suites in Downtown Miami ??

[D&N LUV 2 TRAVEL]

We arrive at FLL terminal 1 on Sun March 10 @ 2:30 pm.

I got quotes back from 2 transfer companies for $140 and $160 respectively.

I used the taxi fare finder and it says $70 to $85.

A shuttle would be ideal and affordable but we arrive too late to take them.

Has anyone else just grabbed a taxi at airport to downtown Miami ? If so, when and cost ?

TIA …. Dave

It's a little over 25 miles and typically takes 35-50 minutes to drive from the Fort Lauderdale airport to that area of Miami.

 

the fare you referenced seems in line with "normal."

Safe travels!

That price is about right, we did it just a few years ago and with tip, IIRC, it came to around $US90, so around $2000 in our money ;o)  Any reason you don't want Uber, the system works great down there, there's usually one within 5 minutes of wherever you are?

The better idea might be a hotel in the Ft Lauderdale area, then a shuttle (many recommended here frequently) to the port the next day. Make sure you get a hotel on the shuttle pick up list. Much cheaper.

I would have done that but have stayed numerous times in Fort Lauderdale pre cruise and this is first time sailing out of Miami so we wanted to see a bit of that city.
