Super Shuttle Miami

[tbrenk1973]

Has anyone used them to/from port?

[Capt_BJ]

yes

 

they are a large reputable company

 

but check prices

 

Super Shuttle charges per person

 

a taxi is per VEHICLE and currently {$24 flat rate + $1 fuel surcharge} $25

 

AGAIN ... THAT IS PER VEHICLE . . .

 

see http://www.miami-airport.com/hotel_shuttles.asp

 

if you are alone the shuttle saves money

 

if you are more than one .... it does not .. if you are 3 or 4 it costs MORE

 

a taxi leaves when you get in .. a shuttle leaves when it is full and may stop at other places b4 your destination since there are other folks with you . . .

I was told since we are 10 people the van is just for us. They quoted me $55 from hotel to the port and $68 from port to airport. After we add a gratuity and split between the passengers I thought that was a fair price.

$68 from POM to MIA for 10 compared to at least 2 van-cabs or maybe 3 standard cabs at $25+tip each -- sounds fair to me as long as you can fit 10 plus bags into the van. Have a good cruise! :)

[Capt_BJ]

yep, if you fill the van, different story if that is $68 total for the van ....

Yes, $68 is for the van for all 10 people.

IN WRITING . . . .

 

What have your prior experiences been?

[Capt_BJ]

failed to honor or refund a pre-paid second half of a round trip when they ran out of vehicles . . . said I could wait a couple of hours and maybe they could handle it ... did I have a receipt? No, prepaid by credit card over the phone.

 

It was Miami and a while back, and the last time I used them ... but obviously loss of MY business was not significant, just a small hiccup.

 

But forget what happened to me

 

you now walk up to the SuperShuttle booth with your other 9 and say, $68 bucks as per the phone call

 

Person in the booth says, got no idea what u r talkin' about

 

$15 for first person, $10 for the rest, as on the sign. $105 .....

 

will you go, or take taxis?

Both reservations are prepaid. I have an email confirmation showing the reservation is for 10 people, a private van for the rate quoted and paid for. We are being picked up at a hotel, so I am not going to a booth to negotiate a price a the airport.

[Capt_BJ]

I have an email confirmation

 

so you have it in writing don't you?

 

that's what I said ... get it in WRITING .... e-mail or a confirmation number counts . . .
