kywildcatfanone Posted March 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Going on the Regal soon and wondering if anyone has used Uber to get to the cruise terminal? Since going on my first Uber ride, I detest taxi's now, but not sure if Uber can get thru the security. Any experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This has been discussed several times on the Florida Departures board (it has nothing really to do with Princess). Uber can not enter the port area at Port Everglades. Uber operates around the area, but not in the Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unicorn63 Posted March 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Be very careful using Uber. The drivers are required to carry insurance but not commercial insurance. So, if there is an accident the drivers insurance company will deny coverage due to exclusion for vehicles for hire. Then Uber the company will try their best to not use their insurance either.

caribill Posted March 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This has been discussed several times on the Florida Departures board (it has nothing really to do with Princess).

I understand why Uber might not be allowed to enter the port to pick up passengers, but why would they not be allowed to enter the port to drop off passengers? Any other vehicle with passengers can enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpmartin Posted March 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I plan on using uber in 3 weeks in Ft Lauderdale and I can't see why they can't drop you off, I will ask the driver the night before, when I use them to go out to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted March 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I understand why Uber might not be allowed to enter the port to pick up passengers, but why would they not be allowed to enter the port to drop off passengers? Any other vehicle with passengers can enter. A commercial vehical (truck, taxi, limo, etc.) has to have a special sticker to enter the port. If you are carrying passengers for hire, you are a commercial vehicle. Additionally, the driver is supposed to have a 'hack' license. When I have been in a limo, they usually request the port registration, and the hack license from the driver. One day in January, I was bring a couple people back to the ship (that I had picked up earlier). In addition to the regular deputies, they had a bunch of 'State Law enforcement officers' with electronic 'ticket pads'. They grilled everyone in my car, trying to find out if they were paying me for bringing them to the port. They were not, so I had no problem. But, there were a couple private cars that they had pulled over. Edited March 24, 2015 by pablo222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
