mickey89 Posted February 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I would appreciate some advise, thank you.I need a transfer from MIA Airport to a Downtown hotel early Friday evening in a couple of weeks time. I have never used UBER or LYFT - how easy is it to use from Miami Airport ? Would it be better to prepay in advance with Supershuttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted February 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Try the Florida departures board rather than a cruise board .... you'll likely get your answer there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.C Posted February 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2017 A taxi from MIA to downtown recently was $ 37 and from the port back to MIA $ 27. Less than a mile difference not sure why the fixed rate was not the same. No shortage of cabs at either spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobndee Posted February 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Last month we used Uber for the first time, to and from the port and the Miami Amtrak station. It worked well both times and cost less than the regular cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogofman Posted February 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2017 train from airport to downtown, approx $2 free trolley to port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted February 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Take a cab or use uber. Either is easy and direct. No need for any shuttles. The train is too much monkeying around and with luggage... a pain. At least for us, ease and service is worth the $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladytaekwondo Posted February 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2017 We have used supershuttle and taxis with no issues at all. The price is supposed to be a fixed rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver2014 Posted February 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Take the Metrorail from the airport to downtown for $2....or is it $2.50 now? But only if you can schlep your own luggage. The Peoplemover downtown is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotico Posted February 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Just Uber it. Better than the rude cab drivers at MIA and a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabrown40 Posted February 15, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2017 not sure if it is still available, but if you download the Uber app on your phone, they gave a 10.00 discount for your first ride. Love Uber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted February 15, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Just Uber it. Better than the rude cab drivers at MIA and a lot cheaper. I just took a cab last week....the driver was not rude at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin on the Edge Posted February 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 16, 2017 How does uber work, do you pre pay? Is a tip required How safe is it? Used uber from the airport to the ship with a stop at a grocery store. From the ship to downtown hotel. To dinner and back. And back to the airport. Couldn't have been easer. Sign up with PayPal or a credit card and everything is automatic and cheaper that taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted February 16, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 16, 2017 How does uber work, do you pre pay?Is a tip required How safe is it? You can see videos on YouTube how it works. You enter PayPal or credit card info and you will not pay cash. Tipping is included in rate. Altho if our bags are heavy or the driver is helpful with info we add a bit.
