HotRod3 Posted March 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hey guys! With the development of Uber & Lyft it seems to be a legit question to ask. What is the best and least expensive way to go from FLL to a hotel, hotel to Port Everglades and then Port Everglades to FLL. We have used taxis and hired services before but just curious if the new trendy way may be a better option to throw out there. Thanks in advance for all or your insight on this!

Yorkvillain Posted March 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I like Uber/Lyft to go from the airport to hotel and hotel to port. At the end of the cruise I think grabbing a taxi is the easiest at PE to go to FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvraj Posted March 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2018 We stayed in FLL last year. Used Uber on all journeys. Was the cheapest and most convenient option. Transfer to port and pickup were really easy. We used a porter on debarkation and he took us to the designated pick up spot for Uber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashna Posted March 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2018 We waited 1 minute at the pier in FLL for an Uber driver to take us to Miami Airport. He was right there waiting for a call. It was easier and cheaper than taking a taxi and much cheaper than the cruise line's shuttle bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted March 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I had good experiences with Lyft in FLL until my cruise in January where the driver did not indicate that he dropped us off. I noted that in my comments and Lyft actually credited me back the "extra" by the next morning without me even asking for it. My Lyft to the port was funny because the guy had never dropped anyone off at the port and did not know the security procedures. I generally just go for a taxi bac to FLL because there is a queue and I don't want to deal with identifying the correct car or waiting for them to navigate through the port if they are not already in front of the ship.

ONECRUISER Posted March 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2018 My kids swear by Uber, never a taxi anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSHAH Posted March 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2018 My kids swear by Uber, never a taxi anymore... I mean, come on now. Taxis are great if you like to pay double, ride in a dirtier, older car with someone who refuses to turn on the AC, and wait 30-60 min for him to appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted March 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yup..no questions asked..Uber/Lyft is the way to go now....easy to use out of FLL..used it to get over to Port of Miami and was 1/3 the cost! I used to either use taxi and/or hired cars but no longer based on the huge cost savings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melrosgirl Posted March 5, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Does Uber pick up from FLL airport ? We were last there two years ago and Uber wasn't allowed to pick up from the airport (I think). So we ended up taking a taxi to our hotel. Taxi driver tried ripping us off. Telling us we owed more than what was on the meter (extra $10 even though there was a sign in the cab that said You Only Owe What Is On The Meter). It was horrible.

HotRod3 Posted March 5, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks for all of the tips and experiences!!! We will most likely Uber from FLL to the hotel and ship and then taxi from ship back to FLL. Seems the most practical from what I am reading. Thanks again!!!

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 6, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I prefer Uber or Lyft over a taxi. We have found the ride to be more comfortable, better drivers and the cost lower then a taxi. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
