Ft. Lauderdale to Miami Cab Cost

[SouthLyonCruiser]

We are used to taking cabs from the airport to the cruise terminal but this time we are going a day early and are staying at the Best Western Plus Miami Airport North Hotel and Suites. We are flying into Fort Lauderdale and want to know the cheapest way to get to the hotel from the airport. We called the hotel and their shuttle only goes to Miami International.

Sorry this is on the Norwegian section but I could not find anywhere else to put this.

Uber is by far the cheapest and easiest way to go. We spent $30 last year with Uber and $85 two years ago in a cab.

Take a Lyft or Uber. Just make sure to request a large enough vehicle of you're traveling with a lot of people and/or luggage.

$85.00 plus tip this past January to a Miami Airport hotel. Will use a transpo company or Uber next trip

In the opposite direction a cab cost us $80 about 3 years ago.

we've used UBER for a very reasonable price.

<snip> the cheapest way to get to the hotel from the airport. We called the hotel <snip>

 

The cheapest I've been able to find will be:

$3.75 on a weekday/per person

$5.00 on a weekend/holiday/per person

 

For the above fare, you can take TriRail from the Fort Lauderdale Airport to Miami International and then call your hotel for the free shuttle.

Do you know how long this would take? Are there a lot of stops?

[casofilia]

There is a free shuttle bus journey from FLL to the TriRail station, than about an hour to MIA station with a "moving walkway" to the airport.

[Cruiser_1977]

Uber June 4 11:02AM $23.14 FLL to POM

Uber June 8 8:48AM #34.50 POM to FLL

Here is a link to the train schedule from airport to airport on a weekday. http://www.tri-rail.com/train-schedules/TrainSchedule.aspx?dp=8&ar=1&dt=1

 

Here is a link to the train schedule from airport to airport on a weekend. http://www.tri-rail.com/train-schedules/TrainSchedule.aspx?dp=8&ar=1&dt=2

 

For comparison, a car will make the trip in approximately 35 minutes according to Google Maps.

 

It appears there are six stops between each airport:

1. Sheridan Street
   
2. Hollywood
   
3. Golden Glades
   
4. Opa-locka
   
5. Metrorail Transfer
   
6. Hialeah Market

Small vehicle - there were just 2 of us.

last time we took private car, Tahoe, for $100. we had 4 passengers and I wanted my adult son's first cruise to be memorable so I splurged.

 

wound up using same service on return trip since we could just text driver and skip the Miami cab/rideshare line zoo.

 

my wife and i took van shuttle once $15 ea. just walked up outside terminal and asked who had room for two more. pretty easy.

Same here. FLL to POM was around $30. The trip back hit road construction with a detour on a toll road which bumped us up to $50.

 

I will probably do one of the shuttle buses next time so the rate will be guaranteed.
