Taxi & Transport Scams in Fort Lauderdale

Port Everglades unofficial taxi drivers overcharging cruise passengers

Drivers waiting outside the cruise terminals at Port Everglades approach disembarking passengers claiming to be "authorized" taxi or shuttle services, then charge 80-150 dollars for rides to FLL airport that metered taxis do broadside the port for 15-25 dollars. Some do not accept cards and pressure tired passengers for cash.
