I know there are shuttle services available, and someone more familiar with the area will probably have more info on them.

Last winter, before taking a cruise, we needed to get from Ft. Lauderdale Airport to Miami, and we opted to rent a car. As far as I know, there are no surcharges for a one way rental in FL. ... at least we weren't charged, and I called the rental company to make sure before we made our reservation. We were able to use the car in Miami and we returned it to the rental office close to the pier. They then shuttled us over to the pier.

Glad to report that after reading everything I could about the bidding prices for a 4 star hotel in downtown Miami I got a deal that I thought was a great price at the right hotel. Check in was for Dec. 2 and check out was for Dec. 4. My offer of $ 77.00 a night was accepted at the Hyatt downtown location. Do you think what I paid was a good deal ? Thanks everybody for all your great help. This is a great site for anybody who wants to get a handle on hotel cost when traveling....

Congratulations on your win!

Glad you were able to use the information here to help in your success.

Was this your first bid in the zone?

Enjoy your stay.

Greetings.......Back in Sept. I had won a bid on a downtown Miami 4 * hotel (Hyatt Regency) for stay on Dec. 2 and 3 . Since that time the area was hit hard by Hurricane Wilma. What are my rights for this room since the storm. I would like to have some idea what to expect. The local news in Washington State says the power might take as long as 4 weeks to restore. Any ideas.....

I personally would monitor the situation for a bit and check with the hotel..they may very well be fine by then..if not then you would need to contact Priceline to hopefully get a refund

THere is a lot of media hype going on right now regarding this. It is getting better there everyday. My bet is Wilma will be long forgotten by December 2, so I wouldn't let them scare you off.

You have no worries... your hotel will be open and running normally.... in fact I believe it is already open :) enjoy your vacation!

Thanks everyone for the reassurance and good advise. Our family and extended family are really looking forward to this cruise that we booked last March. Being out here in the northwest we only get what the media puts out and sometimes they don't cover what we want to know.....Thanks again everyone......this is a great web site.

I saw on another website that the Hyatt regency Miami has been open for business since at least Oct. 26th. They were allowing cancellations without penalty until Oct. 28th. So it appears that all is well there. This info. came from a couple of people who live in the area.

Thanks to all for the great news. This renews my faith in all......:-)

in general the whole miami-dade county area is expected to have electricity before the middle of this month which means life will really be back to normal there
