Fort Lauderdale to Miami...
I am debating between taking a flight into Miami or Fort Lauderdale.
The ticket to FLL is $120 cheaper. If I take a taxi I'd lose my savings on the extra fare. What is the cheapest way to get from the FLL airport to South Beach? I have read multiple threads on this but the problem is that I'm traveling alone so I wouldn't be able to split a shuttle with anyone. Are there any public shuttles that go back and fourth taking whoever is there? What other options do I have and worst case, how much more would it cost to take a taxi from FLL instead of Miami? |

Are there any public shuttles that go back and forth taking whoever
is there? What other options do I have and worst case, how much more would it cost to take a taxi from FLL instead of Miami? This company offers shared ride limos for a reasonable $18 to South Beach. http://www.floridalimo.com/Pages/sharedr.html |

This company offers shared ride limos for a reasonable $18 to South Beach. www.floridalimo.com/Pages/sharedr.html I like that option. Another would be to rent a car and drop it at a local lot. Commonly, drops between FLL and Miami do not incur a surcharge. I've done that with National before. |

I checked that out, seems like a really good deal. I'm just wondering
how long their rides really are with all the other drop offs. It estimates 2 hours on their site for what should be a 45 min drive. They said that is just an estimate, but that would be my only concern is if it actually took 2 hours to south beach.

Do you make $100/hr? |

It would be a round trip, wouldn't it? So, that would be $50 per hour. |

What is the cheapest way to get from the FLL airport to South Beach? The cheapest would be the TriRail shuttle from the airport to the Tri-Rail station, then Broward County Transit Route 4 from the Fort Lauderdale Airport Tri-Rail station to North Miami Beach (or Golden Beach) and switch to Miami-Dade bus K to South Beach. I'm sure that this would take at least two and a half hours. On the plus side, most of the route is down A1A, so at least it's interesting (if you've not seen it all before). http://www.broward.org/bct/pdfs/rt4.pdf http://www.co.miami-dade.fl.us/trans...routes/111.pdf Also see "http://www.floridalimo.com/Pages/sharedr.html" I've never used them, but it seems similar to Super Shuttle, and it's $18 not including tip. Are there any public shuttles that go back and fourth taking whoever is there? What other options do I have and worst case, how much more would it cost to take a taxi from FLL instead of Miami? If you arrive early in the morning on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you can take the water taxi from downtown Fort Lauderdale to South Beach for $22. See "http://watertaxi.com/Event/DisplayDetail.Asp?ID=250&EventID=250&TemplateID=1& ContentEntityID=128" how much more would it cost to take a taxi from FLL instead of Miami? A lot. It's very far. $75 minimum. |
