cruisincha Posted September 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Is there a dedicated pick up area at POM terminals, or is it still a nightmare trying to find your driver? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted September 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) At ft Lauderdale Airport there are Rideshare signs pointing to pullout areas but I do not recall seeing the same at Miami Airport. The idea is to wait outside the door at arrivals Level 1 and tell your driver your terminal letter D to J for domestic and door number. That worked for me. At any airport I always pick a door with fewer people milling about.

Rare cruisegal40 Posted September 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2018 SteerageJoe. Thanks for the information as we will be doing this out of Ft L to Miami in a week and a half and was curious. Do you prefer Uber to Lyft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted September 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I've never had an issue with identifying my Uber driver (you get the car make and license #) or my driver identifying me. Some call or text to confirm location. Open up both apps and see who has drivers more readily available and if one has surge pricing in effect. Many of the drivers here work for both Uber and Lyft and accept the first ride offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisincha Posted September 5, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I was asking about the Port of Miami, actually. Airports do seem to be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted September 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Never had an issue at POM - wait time for a car is usually about 5 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerPrince Posted September 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Never had an issue at POM - wait time for a car is usually about 5 min. Are Uber/Lyft rides readily available or should I book in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted September 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2018 They are readily available at the ports and airport; because of the uncertainty with flights and ship returns (customs/immigration, luggage delays, etc.) I would not book ahead. Never had to wait more than about 5 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisegal40 Posted September 6, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thanks for this info. Very helpful. We will be going from FtL airport to Miami the pre night cruise and then from hotel to POM. Hope this all goes well as DH is not use to "new" things. Keeping fingers crossed.
