Transfer to Port of Miami

[trpjackson]

We are staying in Fort Lauderdale the night before our cruise, and we are sailing out of Miami. What shuttle service do you recommend?

 

 

Thanks

MJS Transportation. Google their website. 15$ per person on shuttle. More than 2 people, I think it’s 13$ pp.

We always use SAS. Google their website. They do hotel pickups at 9:30 and 11am I believe. We go early. Was $15 pp.

We did Uber/Lyft it was about $40, got there quick.

Used Lyft a few weeks ago. Cheap and very easy.

Tried SAS a few years ago. They were good in picking us up from FLL and going to our Miami hotel but they never picked us up from the Port of Miami for the return trip. Would never use them again.

We have used SAS many times. The last time it took longer than expected, the van kept driving around the airport for passengers, so keep that in mind. If getting to the port quickly is important, use Uber, or Lyft, or another transport vender as mentioned above.

If you do use SAS, as mentioned above, check their website. There are certain hotels that they serve in FLL, make sure your hotel is on that list, I would think this is the case for any other shuttle service. Hope this helps.:D

I would second Uber, we did Uber to FLL and it was maybe $35 and quick. As a second note, if you have never used Uber before, check with your credit cards, many will give $20-25 off your first ride when you establish an account.

We used SAS - both going to Miami for a cruise and returning to FLL. As an earlier poster mentioned make sure that if you are staying in Fort Lauderdale overnight that the hotel you book is on their scheduled pick up list. The trip down was good.

 

The only issue we encountered was on the return trip, everyone in the van was going to the airport which was fine, except we were going there to pick up a rental car and continue with a land based stay. The people flying out were dropped off first - at the appropriate terminals. The location that the driver dropped us off at was not located that close to the car rental area - I questioned this and was told he could not get closer. With a good amount of luggage and a husband with mobility issues - getting from his drop off point to the car rental area was difficult and stress full. It has taught me to ask more detailed questions next time in a similar situation.

Why are you doing that? It's such an added expense between those 2 cities!

Most of the shuttles cost 13 to 15 dollars from Ft Lauderdale to Miami port. If hotels are less costly in Ft Lauderdale, it is a smart decision to stay there.

Please also post this on the Florida Departures Board to get more input.

 

This question comes up almost daily on that board.

We've had very good luck with Uber.

We are doing that as well since flights into FLL are easier for us than into MIA from ELP.

 

We plan to use QLS for transfers.

We did Uber on our last cruise. Not a lot of waiting and price is way reasonable

We used Lyft to and from the port from FLL and had great service. I won’t use a shuttle service again. They’re more expensive and unreliable

SAS costs 13 to. 15 dollars per person and have been very reliable for us.

What price is Lyft and which shuttle companies should we avoid?

Lyft is around $30-35 door to door from FLL. I won’t use hotel or hotel arranged shuttles. They’ve always been more expensive, take longer and seldom leave or arrive on schedule

SAS is not booked through the hotels. They are independent and have a list of hotels that are within their range.

We have had excellent service every time we used them. I don't use hotel shuttles except from the airport to the hotel.

SAS rate is $15 per person and drops to $13 if you have more people in your party, so they are a little less costly than LYFT. They also pull a trailer for luggage so it is more comfortable for us.
