Cruise a holic Posted October 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2023 We will be sailing on the Silhouette in Jan. We need to go to Disney world after the cruise- we have decided a car service would work best. Any recommendations? Have also posted on the Fort Lauderdale site. We can take an uber, but want to know of any private reasonably priced reliable car service. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted October 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The bright line train goes from Downtown Fort Lauderdale to the Orlando airport now. That might be a fun adventure. Another option could be to just rent a car at the Fort Lauderdale airport and then return it at Orlando airport. One way car rentals usually don’t have extra fees in FL.

Rare 81Zoomie Posted October 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I second the one way car rental. Occasionally there is even a drop off option closer to your destination other than a large airport. We plan to do this when we return from a TA next year.

1Virgo Posted October 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2023 We ve used Larry’s Limo. Driver was prompt. picked us up in a Lincoln SUV, so we were not crammed in. Communication with the company was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted October 22, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Your other thread is here: Already on this page when you started this thread. No one is recommending a car service for this...its going to cost you a bundle. You may have "deadheading" fees to cover the cost of the car service returning home. Renting a car is a better solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car service will cost a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted October 22, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I know. But the train, first class isn’t so cheap. Uber thus far seems the best. But looking for better options. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber thus far seems the best. But looking for better options. Thanks It doesn't cost anything to check out various companies. We use Miami Unique Limo for our travels in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and traveling between the 2 airports and cruise terminals. We are using them for our Tampa cruise over Xmas/NYE. We have them pick us up at the airport and take us to our hotel; then pick us up the next day or 2 days later from the hotel and take us to the cruise terminal; then from cruise ship when we disembark to the airport. They are prompt, worry-free and pick us up in luxury SUVs (you select the vehicle when booking.). They do drive from Ft. L to Orlando because our last driver told us he had recently taken several business persons there. We have used them for the past almost 3 years and have zero complaints.

Cruise a holic Posted October 24, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) thanks all for your responses. I really think the best way for us will be the new train. They have porter service which we need because of luggage we bring and we are senior citizens. So if we travel first class on the bright line seems the most cost effective and practical choice. Have to convience my DH of that! Edited October 24, 2023 by Cruise a holic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
