From $185 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Beachside Village Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Beachside Village Resort sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small coastal town that has held onto its beach-village character while larger resort strips grew up around it. The property sits close to the shoreline, so the ocean is a short walk rather than a drive, and the low-rise streets nearby keep the scale friendly and easy to find your way around after a week at sea.
When you arrive you are steps from the kind of Florida coast that rewards slowing down. Anglin’s Fishing Pier reaches out over the water a short distance away, and the living coral reef that Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is known for sits close enough to snorkel straight off the sand, no boat needed. Datura Avenue and El Prado Park are also nearby, giving you a handful of easy places to wander once the bags are dropped.
The resort is about 35 miles up the coast from PortMiami, and the route runs as one direct leg on I-95, so reaching it after a cruise is straightforward. Set your luggage down at the door and the beach afternoon is right there, a natural next move after days on the ship. Because the town stays compact and walkable, most of what you will want on the first day is within reach of the property itself, which makes it an easy landing spot whether you stay a single night or a full week before heading home.
Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, so there is no wandering the port looking for a car. Bags go from the curb straight into the vehicle, and the whole ride is reserved for your group alone, one party per car, door to door. Once everyone is settled, it is a single direct leg north on I-95 to Beachside Village Resort.
Plan on roughly 59 to 74 minutes from the terminal curb to the resort door, depending on the hour and how I-95 is moving. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, there is room built in if disembarkation runs slow. Your luggage stays with you the entire way, and the driver handles it lobby to curb, so the trip stays simple from the moment you step off the ship.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
A child seat can be installed for $15 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Tirou toda a preocupação de a manhã do desembarque — facílimo. Havia um bom período de tolerância a partir do horário combinado, então nunca precisamos correr para juntar as malas.
Los dos zarpamos de PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje hasta Beachside Village Resort fue lo mejor del día. El viaje de la terminal a Beachside Village Resort fue silencioso y relajado, y pudimos ver pasar la ciudad.
Los pequeños estaban medio dormidos cuando bajamos, y una van privada ahí en la terminal llevó a todos a Beachside Village Resort antes de que alguien colapsara. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos.
No taxi line — we walked off the ship and a clean, private car was waiting, then straight to Beachside Village Resort. Highly recommend. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
The perfect end to the cruise — handled from the curb to the lobby. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Beachside Village Resort, it was well worth it.
