Port Everglades taxi

[sho]

Is it easy to get taxi at Port Eveglades at disembarkation? Will there be long queue? How much will it cost to Miami international airport?

From the time we stepped out of the building to us and luggage in a cab............................took less than 5 min.

 

They are lined up raring to go, suvs, and regular car cabs.

 

No problem getting the cab.

 

Sorry do not know the answer to the second part of your question on the cost to Miami..........we only use the cabs to FLL airport.

The cost to Miami Airport will be around $80/$85 plus tip according to https://www.taxifarefinder.com/main.php?city=Fort-Lauderdale-FL&lang=en. Just hope you don't run into any traffic since you will be on the meter.

Uber will get you from PE to MIA for about $40-45; ride takes about an hour.

Agree- even better idea for the drive to Miami is a shuttle. Typically $15 per person. Discussed here daily.

I too would take UBER over to Miami.

Uber in FLL area works just like Uber in UK (or at least in London). Download the app to your smart phone - you'll need to set up your phone to work in the USA and have access to data. Request a ride and when an Uber driver accepts you his picture, name, vehicle info and expected arrival time will show. Some drivers may call/text to verify your location. After your ride you will receive an email with a receipt showing the total charges, and you will have an opportunity to rate your driver (from 1-5 stars) - your driver will also rate you, so remember you manners. ;)

 

If you are going from PE to FLL I would not bother - just grab a taxi for about $15. If you are going to the MIA airport - about an hour away - I would choose Uber for about $40 compared to a taxi for $76-80+tip.

 

If any of this helps you owe me a pint - bitter please! :D

Many thanks for the info.

 

Have read here on Cruise Critic some taxi drivers try to overcharge in Fort Lauderdale, so having an idea will help.

 

Thanks again.

Where at the airport do you go for a pick up by Uber or Lyft? Is it near the taxis? I always have lots of luggage and wondered how far from the baggage area.

It's in the area where the hotel shuttles pickup. There are signs which I think say something like "shared ride". We come in at terminal 1 most times on Southwest. You exit the terminal and walk to the right where there is an island where the hotel shuttles pick people up. The Uber pickup is the first sign.

Yes! This is true! Some drivers try to charge a "flat rate". There are signs posted that state that all fares are metered. I take a photo of the sign while waiting for the taxi & when this happens I hand the metered fare charge to the driver & no tip. I have the picture in hand & remind the driver that it would be metered fares only. Make a mental note of the drivers name if you are inclined to report the incident. (should clarify that I'm referring to ship to FLL)
