FLL-South Beach Shuttles...?
 
So this year I'm going to skip renting a car for the South Beach trip (save $18+ in valet fees at my hotel!). I'm flying into Ft. Lauderdale Airport-- and shuttles are (obviously) much cheaper than cabs for FLL-South Beach. Has anyone used the shuttles? Is it door-to-door, or do they let off at some &quot;centrally-located&quot; hotel? Is a savings of some $40 worth it? How hard is it getting a shuttle back to FLL from South Beach...?<BR><BR>Whew-- that's enough questions! Any help that anyone can offer is appreciated.

1-800-bluevan<BR>supershuttle dropped me door to door from miami to fll so i would presume the opposite is true. cost was about $18

¡Mil gracias, flopmeister! I have been unable to determine if Super Shuttle operates out of FLL (I think another service got the franchise), but I'll be happy to use them once in South Beach.<BR><BR>Anyone know about the FLL-to-South Beach van services...?

Check out the website for FLL - somewhere in there is a link to ground transportation.<BR><BR>http://www.broward.org/fll.htm

Hi GoAway! Thanks for the link.<BR><BR>The info on the website seems a bit vague-- I guess I could call too. I assume that, if they don't mention drop-off at specific hotels, it's door-to-door from FLL.<BR><BR>Well, we'll find out. Thanks again, flopmeister and GoAway!

We faced the same dilemma last Labor Day weekend. We decided to wing it when we got there. Out at the cab stand there was someone coordinating shuttles to South Beach and we were onboard in 5 minutes. I believe it was $15/person and we were dropped off at our hotel. Van was comfortable - no problems. That's batting 1.000 in one trip, but we'd definitely do it again.<BR><BR>Going the other way, we didn't mess with scheduling and called a cab. It was a $55 ride before tip.
