JohninDC Posted February 12, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2015 From MIA a taxi to FLL and area hotels will run about $80+ :eek: Shared shuttle with Super Shuttle or American Shuttle (or maybe Go Airport - based at FLL) will depend upon how many and what hotel. Larry's Limos is often suggested for Miami service. A one way car rental is likely your best option If you arrive during the day and are not in a hurry you could ride the Tri-Rail train from MIA to FLL for under $5 each. http://www.tri-rail.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowergirl22 Posted February 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This past December, I rented a car picked up at MIA, and dropped off at FLL. It cost $22.00 for 2 drivers (through big box store starting with C) precruise. Ended up doing the same on disembarkation day in FLL. The shuttle picks you up at the cruiseport, and drops you off at the car rental section of the FLL airport. Only had the car 4 hours, but at $22.00, it was cheaper then the shuttle services offered.

What station should I get out at and would I be able to get a taxi easily to the Port Everglades? It will be on Good Friday April 3 - a public holiday. Thankx for any help offered.

Cheers ging466 Flying in the same day as your cruise? :eek: Unless you are on a red-eye getting in first thing in the morning I would not chance the train; check your roll call to see if you can share a ride with someone else or pay for the cruise line transfer bus from MIA to your ship. If you do take the train I would ride to the FLL station. If there are no cabs at the station ride the shuttle to the airport and then cab to your ship from there for about $15. Remember, you need to be checked in 90 or so minutes before the ship sails (see your cruise documents) in order to clear security/TSA/immigration, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers ging466 You're on the Silver Shadow and you want to skimp with transport? Don't be foolish. Take a shuttle and don't even think about a train.
