MIA taxi question

We are arriving into MIA about 9:30 PM & staying Brickell area

question... do the taxis charge a surcharge for late night services ?

Still debating whether to just stay close to airport or not

TIA

Nope - and 9:30 is not late in Miami. Fare should be $25+ or you can uber for about $15+

If you are thinking about dinner, drinks, etc. after check-in then choose a downtown hotel; if you just want a room and a bed after arriving, then an airport hotel will be okay (Blue Lagoon hotels are often suggested and there is a local strip mall nearby (across the street from the Hampton Inn) for last minute items).

Have a great cruise! :cool:

Thanks

We have the Hampton Inn booked & by the time we get there it will be time to crash ;)

Hampton Inn is a good location.

You can enjoy the breakfast the next morning.

I would take Uber the following morning to the port. Drive will be around 20 minutes. It's about 2 miles but you can have some traffic.

That hotel has had good recomendations here.

Thanks we have stayed at Hampton Inn before several times

the taxi fare is usually in the $30 range

Yep. You can save a little bit using an Uber if you want. Same for heading to the port. Uber will always be cheaper than a taxi. And while I have noticed Uber service going down a bit, its still a lot nicer than a taxi down here and the cars are almost always newer, more comfortable and safer.

you probably need a cell phone for UBER correct ??

Some of us dinosaurs in Canada do not have cell phones with service outside Canada ;)

Yup - you need a cell phone (actually a "smart" phone) to make Uber work.
