8 ppl from FLL to Marriott MIA

[teelovescruising]

Due to a BIG difference in price, we are flying into FLL, but staying at the Marriott Miami Airport with a few more of our family members who were lucky enough to get decent flights directly into MIA.

 

Will it be cheaper to take a shuttle or 2 cabs from FLL to the Marriott Miami Airport?

 

Do you recommend a particular shuttle company?

 

Thanks.

Two cabs are going to run you approx. $70 plus gratuity each. I would contact Holland Limousine. They charged us $125 total (including gratuity) to transport 8 of us from FLL to Intercontinental Hotel in Miami. They transported us in a beautiful white stretch limo. They were extremely professional and met us at the airport. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

We have often cruised from Miami after flying into Ft. Lauderdale. We usually just stepped outside and ordered a taxi van. Fit 8 w/everyones luggage easily. I believe it cost us between $12-18 a person. Usually a 20-30 minute ride.

The cost now is actually $21 pp. That's going to run $168; I'd opt for the limo with Holland for less money. Eight people squeezed into a taxi with luggage isn't going to be terribly comfortable. A limo for less money would be the way to go, IMO.

Not sure how much a limo is, but...

 

FLL -> Port of Miami is $140 for up to 11 passengers via "Go Airport Shuttle" www.floridalimo.com if you tell them you want the "Private van service."

 

I used them in March 2007 to take 9 of us from FLL to the Holiday Inn - Port of Miami (i.e. a Downtown Miami hotel) and they charged us the same rate as if we were going to the actual Port of Miami. Gathered our bags, went outside the door, contacted one of the guys on duty, and had our ride in about 10 minutes. Driver was courteous, safe, friendly, and made our trip enjoyable from FLL to HI - PoM.
