Rare CruiserKris34 Posted February 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2022 So, it should be easy to find a taxi when we walk out of Ft. Lauderdale airport? I've never done Uber, but is it worth downloading that app? Thanks, Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted February 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Taxi will be easy to find and a pretty inexpensive ride to Port Everglades ~$20. Uber/Lyft is good as well, we prefer as usually nicer cars/drivers and usually a bit cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennStateMom Posted February 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just did this in January - Lyft $14, uber $15 and taxi $20. In case you want Lyft from Port Everglades to Miami international, it was about $50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigdilcru Posted February 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just got off five days ago, hopped in a taxi at the dock, his meter ran all the way to the airport. Total came to $13.00 and some change, I gave him a twenty told him to keep the change it was miserable out, I wouldnt want to drive in that mess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daydreamer16 Posted February 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2022 We always have good luck with Uber or Lyft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Taxi's are always lined up waiting. I always use Uber or Lyft which may be a 3-5 minute wait. I don't usually carry cash and the Ride Shares are so reliable and the owners have pride in their vehicles where I have had some taxis that I don't know how they are even street legal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandhop9 Posted February 17, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Make sure you compare Uber/Lyft prices. After our recent cruise at Terminal 25 the Uber price was double what Lyft wanted to FLL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting a car on Las Olas and decided to change sides of street as it would be the direction back to our hotel- the price dropped by 30% with the same company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinfool Posted February 18, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Depending on how much time you have for checking in, this may be a good time to learn about Uber/Lyft. Personally, I was amazed at how well it worked for me the first time...and I was in a non-English country for my first time. You will need a credit card in residence on your phone to fully use the app....and that is part of the convenience of Uber...no cash to change hands and fuss with a tip. If you want to give a tip, you do so via the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlaMariner Posted February 22, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2022 We fine Uber and Lyft worth the free minutes of wait as well as the $$$ savings when traveling to/from the port. Cars are much cleaner. Drives much nicer. Trip more reliable. (In November, 2021, we had a port to Amtrak Fort Lauderdale trip in a taxi that took the wrong exit off 95 and that ran up the fare a tad also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted February 22, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2022 There is a taxi stand outside of baggage claim. I have always found them readily available. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
