Transportation from ship to airport....

[cruzfiend]

In light of some of the comments about taxi's being sparse, would it be better to line up a taxi/shuttle for our party before our cruise?

Would help to know what port your asking about. It can't be Port of Miami or Port Everglades because cabs are a dime a dozen so to speak.

As Bequia correctly says there are lots of cabs at Miami and the Port of Everglades.

Bequia, how did I know you'd be the one to answer me back:)

I was talking about the Pt Everglades. From the reviews of some posters, they say that if more than one mega ship is in port, you have to wait forever for a taxi. (More than one person has said this)

Once in a while you may have to wait but not too long. If you've given yourself sufficient time to get to the airport, it's just easier to take a cab.

Thanks, I was getting a little concerned.

One persons "forever" is another persons couple of minutes. Lack of taxis has never been an issue at Port Everglades. :p

any idea how much a taxi for 2 from FLL TO Port Everglades costs?

Hi,

 

We (party of 6) need to get from Port of Miami to FLL. Any ideas on the most economical way to do that? Should we pre-book a vehicle so that we can be guaranteed one large enough?

 

Bequia, you probably know!! :)

Averages between $12-$15

For a party of 6 if you all need to be together I'd book a private car service otherwise just grab two cabs. (probably cheaper with the car service though)

How about the cost from the port of Tampa to the airport for 4?

[CheerMeUp]

I am flying into FLL and cruising out of POM. On my return, what is the best way to get from the port to FLL and what would be the earliest flight you could take? We are a party of 3. Thanks...

So, any idea how much the taxi would be from Port of Miami to FLL? We are a party of 4, so we only need 1 taxi.

 

We are using a private sedan to get from FLL to our hotel in Miami, which is only $64. However, for some reason, it's almost twice that amount for the same sedan to take us from the Port of Miami back to FLL.

 

Any help would be wonderful. Thanks! :)

We, a party of 9, used transfloridian.com, aka TF-Orlando, this month. Booked a couple of weeks in advance. Had to pay upfront by phone, with credit card-no refunds. Had great service, with less than a 5 minute wait. (If there's a flight delay, be sure to advise the dispatch number.) Our second choice would have been floridalimo.com, aka Go-Shuttle. I liked this company as they have a kiosk at the airport, with no reservation needed. (They say they'll have a ride for you within 30 minutes.) However, I didn't like the return arrangement options: reserve the driver on the first trip by giving him the return information & paying him in cash for the return; or, make the reservation by phone, and fax the credit card info. We didn't like the idea of our CC number sitting at some machine. (The company preferred online arrangements, but our computer was ailing at the time.) The cost for both companies was $18 per person. With a smaller group, we may have had to share a ride; since it didn't apply to us, I didn't check into that aspect.

Do taxis transport an infant/toddler without a carseat between the port and FLL? I have been given conflicting information that only shuttles are allowed to transport young ones. Thanks in advance for any info.
