Update #2:
Once again, awesome ideas from everyone…
I booked a car rental (priceline bid) at FLL Airport at an awesome price. Way better then Hertz could ever give me, plus it was upgraded 2 classes!! Now I'm just looking for the cheapest and most practical way to get to the car rental place at FLL. And the best way to get to Amtrak HOL (or FTL) departing at 9:04am (or 9:20am) without missing the train. I am willing to wake up uber-early to make the train. I'm just not at all familiar with South Florida public transportation. Plus, I have no idea what the cabbies are like around there. I've heard stories that cabbies will kick you out if the fare is less than $10 and a waste of their time. I come from an area where no fare is ever too short…LOL!!
What I was thinking was, arrive at HOL and TriRail to FLL airport station on Gulf Stream Way…then take the free shuttle to the airport, get my car & onward to vacay!!
But AlanB (who is the best) suggested that I arrive at FTL and shuttle to the airport. Now I would have less steps and more time to relax. YEAH!!
Question 1: How would I get my baggage from baggage claim at FTL, if I'm to technically arrive at HOL??
Question 2: Does the shuttle that runs from FTL to FLL, run continuously??
Question 3: Can I do this in reverse (reserved coach)?? And is it a reliable??
All and any advice is greatly appreciated!! Sorry if I am annoying everyone with my rookie mistakes…I just have too much to research and had to learn the hard way.
-Happy Travels!
