On past cruises, I have used SAS Transportation. The driver called my cell shortly after I landed and they had their vans at the port waitng on the return. January 09 it was $15.00 each way.

My daughter and I used SAS in July and were nothing but pleased! We left the ship at 9:50 in Miami and were at the airport in FLL 1 hour later. Very professional. They were waiting on us both ways. Definitely have them book marked for the next time! $15 each way.

We are also looking for a transfer from FL to Miami Hotel. We would have loved to have transportation provided by SAS but they are not able to get us to Miami. SAS provided a name and phone number of another service, Howard's Transport. We phoned them beginning of last week and Howard was going to call us back with fare rate. Todate we have not heard from him.
If anyone knows of another reliable transportation service, please let us know.
Thank you.

Go to www.qualitylimoservice.com and check them out. Howard's is pretty reputable -- has he returned your call.

Thumbs up Sas

Hi, I used SAS back in April and would definitely recommend them
I arrived a day ahead as well. Flew into FLL and needed transportation
down to Coral Gables (that ride can run anywhere from 25-35 minutes
depending on traffic).
I travel solo and the driver was very courteous and Steve was
really nice as well. I would definitely use them again!

Is S&S a shared ride company ? Will I have to wait for the van to fill up and drop off folks at other destinations? The reason I ask is we have got to bee line it to the FLL as soon as we self disembark.

Thanks.
