Cab vs. shuttle fare (Monarch)

[emilygrace]

Does anyone have a rough figure of the fares for a cab and/or shuttle from the pier in San Pedro to the Long Beach airport? I will be by myself.

 

Thanks!

It's only about 7 miles or so (if that)... so I would think under $20... not sure if there are shuttles for it, but contact super shuttle or primetime shuttle to check... they are always cheaper than a cab.

It's about 14 miles to LGB from the pier. I know that going from the airport to the pier there is a flat rate of about $34 - I imagine that the return fare would be comparable. I have seen both Prime Time and Super Shuttle vans at the airport, but I don't know the price. I'm sure could find out from their websites.

 

If you have an early flight, make sure the shuttle will give you a non-stop trip and not hit the hotel circuit or residences before going to the airport - that can cost you a lot of time.

Noticed your location as Fort Lauderdale do You have any suggestions for transportation from pier in Miami to FLL airport. Would really apreciate any ideas. Were comming in on the Pearl Oct 14. Thank You. Carol and Cliff

I stand corrected Critterchick.. I used to drop my friend off at Long Beach airport after our cruises, and it seemed like such a quick ride... anyway, call the shuttle companies and ask.

 

Special - I always suggest looking at the major car rental sites. Back when I lived in LA and was visiting Fort Lauderdale every two weeks, I would often land in Miami, and rent a car and then return it to Fort Lauderdale. The major companies did not charge me a drop off fee or "one way fee"... so if you pick up a car in Miami, you could drive yourself to FLL for a fairly reasonably rate. Check it out.
