My family and I arrived from Windsor Ontario for a vacation in Ft. Lauderdale. When we arrived a the airport we were put in a blue and white taxi called Friendly Checker Taxi. We were staying at The Westin Diplomat Hotel and asked our driver to take us there. The driver was very friendly and knowledgable about the area we were staying in. He even told us what the taxi fare should be when we got to the hotel and to make sure it is around the same price when we return to the airport. He recommended some great resturants in the area and attractions for the kids. This driver was a great ambassador for Ft. Lauderdale. We took other Friendly Checker Taxi's while on our vacation and the service was very good. The service was so much better than that of big city cabs such as New York or Philadelphia.
