the_dylaness Posted July 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I am not sure if UBER XL will be able to accommodate 5 people plus luggage (never tried UBER XL, states it can hold up to 6 people?) Also was hoping to not have to pack car seats, does this affect our options? Private shuttle? Thanks for any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2017 The shuttle would be my first choice, at $15pp. More likely to accommodate luggage easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted July 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2017 How old are the kids? Amazon has some travel booster seats for toddlers. The airline will check your seats for free if you choose not to use them on the flight; bringing your own seats ensures that they are sized and installed correctly. A mini-van taxi from FLL or nearby hotels will run about $75+tip to POM - about the same as UberXL (large SUV or minivan). Ask the front desk at your hotel to call the taxi for you; they will know who is reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmomof4 Posted July 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2017 We just Uber Xl'd all Over Miami, to and from Port, etc...one time it was an escape and very tight. Every other time we got a mini van which was awesome. If the car doesn't look big enough, cancel it Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted July 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The 6-year old is probably ok but the younger one will need a car seat/booster; very few Ubers come with car seats. I would either plan on bringing my own or make arrangements with a shuttle service (SAS, QLS, etc.) that will provide a car seat. For 5 plus bags and a car seat you could also look into private transport - check Larry's Limos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Cruisers Posted July 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2017 We had 4 adults, two kids, 8 and 6. We just split up with 2 uber's. Easy, peasy. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted July 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Tougher to split up with 5 and they still have the car seat issue for at least one of the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also was hoping to not have to pack car seats, does this affect our options? Private shuttle? Thanks for any ideas. We are using QLS transportation next week from a FLL hotel to POM. 2 adults, 3 kids + luggage = $65. Thought about renting a car, but didn't want the hassle of having to return it. Shuttle will take us directly from hotel to ship. UberXL won't accommodate all of us plus luggage. Shuttle is direct & reasonably priced. We don't need car seats, so can't help with that answer.

FamilyCruiser39 Posted July 25, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Uber XL accommodated us 3 adults, 2 teens and mucho luggage last week every time we called I asked this question last month & got a lot of responses that XL would not accommodate. Glad it worked for you. Without taking chances I booked QLS. Not worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
