TravellingTRS Posted January 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I used SAS Transportation (http://www.ridesas.com) again on 1/19/2014 for travel from the Port of Miami to FLL and I was happy to see that they're still as efficient, cheap and polite as ever. This was the 5th time I've used them. Once again, I made my reservation online and they picked me up curbside at the cruise port within a few minutes of calling them after I passed thru customs. Because it is a shared-ride service, sometimes you do need to ride along for about 5-10 minutes to pick up additional passengers, but that's how shared-ride services work. Total fare from POM to FLL for one person was $15 (I always tip too). When friends/coworkers ask me for advice when cruising out of Miami, I ALWAYS tell them: - consider flying into Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami because you may easily save $100 or more on your flight - use SAS if you need transportation directly from FLL to a downtown Miami hotel or the Port of Miami (unfortunately, SAS no longer goes to South Beach, so we used GO Airport Shuttle this last time for that part) - use SAS for transportation after the cruise from POM to FLL Hope this helps any newer cruisers.

Jadolphsen Posted January 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thank you so much for this review!! We are cruising out of POM and flying into FLL Dec 6, and I still hadn't figured out transportation. Very Helpful!!!

cruzmax Posted January 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Traveling TRS - We totally agree! SAS does a great job and always reliable! We also choose FLL flights, even when cruising from Miami. Better airfare, airport is less hectic, and Pasha's restaurant has great food - not normal airport food. Try the simit bread with cream cheese at breakfast; better than a bagel!!

az2oh Posted January 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've read a lot about SAS and have visited their site but have not seen anything to indicate a discount for purchasing round trip fares. I've used similar shuttle services in Vegas and they will give a $1 or $2 discount for buying the return trip at the same time you buy the initial trip so I was wondering if this was the same way. Anyone have any idea? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robntawn Posted January 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have read lots of good reviews of SAS and was really hoping my experience was just as good. Unfortunately it was not We made reservations 6 months ago and confirmed them today. However, when we got our luggage from FLL and called them, I was told that it would be another 90-120 minutes because he was the last shuttle and other flights were delayed. I realize that this is a shared ride service, but a 2 hour delay is unacceptable. We ended up catching a ride with GO Airport Shuttle for a few more bucks, and are now crammed together on our way to Miami Hotel.

Ashland Posted January 27, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We have used them (SAS) as a family of 6 and booking a private shuttle no need to wait for anyone else....Also Jiffy Jeff has been recommended very highly on these boards too...so just another great option.
