Mickanata Posted January 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Can anyone please tell me the best (and least costly) way to get from the cruise ship to the airport (FLL) in Fort Lauderdale? It seems very close. Will taxis take you? Are there shuttles? Is Uber allowed on the port? The last time we were there I had booked a rental car at FLL but I found only certain rental companies had shuttles from the port to the air port. Any advice?

A taxi is quick and should cost around $15. Edited January 5, 2017 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Uber, they pick up in front of the terminal. On our recent return New Years Eve we did Uber, cost $6.99. Two people with three large bags and a carry on. Use either Uber or UberX depending on luggage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathywin53 Posted January 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Taxi, port is almost visible from airport. Also lots of taxis for return, very efficient. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted January 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2017 You won't go wrong with either a taxi or Uber. We prefer Uber though. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our last cruise we used Uber from the airport to our hotel and then from the hotel to the port. Most of the Uber drivers are very familiar with both the airport and the port. I also agree with the post above about getting an Uber XL. More space for luggage. I'm guessing that's probably the cheapest option, too. Not to mention most convenient.

DaveOKC Posted January 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2017 We just grab a taxi at the port - we have never had to wait more than 2 minutes. Fare last month from a Holland America ship to American Airlines terminal was a bit under $15 plus tip of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenNMB Posted January 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Careful! Some Taxi drivers are a tad larcenous. One charged us $21 fare. Fare should be around $13 plus tip. He went on the highway unnecessarily, and took us for a ride -- literally and figuratively -- a lesson learned for about $10. I've spent more, and stayed stupid, though.
