Whats the best way to fix this travel mistake?

I'm flyin into FLL, but renting a car from Miami airport. Its too late to change the rental. The prices are too high now. Whats the best way to get from FLL to Miami airport, and what should i expect to pay?

Thank so much all!!

What is the time line here? When are you arriving in Florida? Have looked at all the options? Where are you sailing out of?

A quick read on the board would suggest Uber ($40-45) is probably the "best" (whatever that means) option.

Best - Uber

Cheapest - Tri Rail from FLL to MIA. You take a Tri Rail shuttle from FLL to the FLL train station. The train then arrives at the Miami Airport station which is next to/connected to the Miami airport rental car center. It is actually very convenient location-wise. However, depending on the time of day, you will find that service slows to one train per hour for a good portion of the day.

Uber will run about $35+ to get to MIA -- Tri-Rail will cost under $5 but could take a LONG time

Why is it too late...did you pre-pay? Can't you just change the pickup location (same company) to Fort Lauderdale instead ?

I arrive on Saturday afternoon, for a cruise that leaves from POM on Monday. Staying downtown in Miami and renting thru Alamo, since I get a free shuttle to cruise when i return car back on Monday before cruise take off. I wanted to spend a few days in Miami, before ship takes off.

Looks like Uber is best deal. Cause it sounds like train will take forever.

If you are staying downtown, do you really want/need that rental? Parking is expensive at downtown hotels.

Are you staying at a hotel downtown?

I would check the parking fees they can run $25 per day

Most places in downtown are walkable or take the free metromover or trolley

I would cancel the car rental & just take a taxi or Uber to the port when you are ready

Got a great deal where parking for 2 days was included

I would just go with Uber and skip the rental car.

Precise price of Uber will vary based on the type of category you go with.

Also relook at hotels to see if there are any better options that do not include free parking. Nothing is really free.

Late August in Miami. It might be free. We are right in the middle of the slowest part of the year here. But yes, always good to price it out.

What hotel have you booked????

Epic hotel downtown

you really do not need a rental car even if you get free parking you are close to most things downtown

Another Uber vote. Also check the destination area for other ideas.

Price out the hotel without the parking. Just run the numbers. Your hotel is in a good location. Unless you are driving up to Hollywood Beach or other surrounding beach communiites further away, the car will just be sitting.
