From $185 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass sits at 8301-A W Commercial Blvd, on the western side of North Broward County. It takes its name from the two areas that frame this stretch of the county — the residential calm of Tamarac and the wide retail spread of the Sawgrass corridor just to the west. For a cruise traveler, that makes it a practical landing point: far enough from the coast to feel quiet, yet close to the highways that tie the region together.
The immediate surroundings blend shopping with open ground. Sawgrass Mills pulls the crowds out west, while Sunrise, Plantation, and Coral Springs fill in the quiet residential grid that wraps around the hotel. Event nights draw people to Amerant Bank Arena, and the Plantation Historical Museum makes for a slower afternoon for anyone curious about how this part of Broward took shape.
Green space is within easy reach as well. Tradewinds Park and Everglades Holiday Park both sit nearby in North Broward, handy for travelers who want a walk outdoors or an airboat outing on either side of a sailing. As a suites property, the hotel keeps the after-cruise details simple — luggage holds and early check-in among them — so arriving guests can set down their bags and settle in. The full particulars stay on the hotel’s own official page.
Your ride begins right at the cruise terminal on Dodge Island. Once you clear disembarkation, the chauffeur is already staged and waiting, timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot on the clock. Bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal curb, and the group keeps the car to itself for the whole trip north — no strangers, no added stops.
From the port the driver takes Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, so the roughly 35-mile run to Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass stays a single, direct leg. Plan on about 53 to 70 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic, with tolls and fuel already folded into the flat rate. At the hotel, the chauffeur helps unload at the door before you check in.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass fue perfecto. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal. Teníamos los datos del conductor con anticipación, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car there the second I walked out for the trip to Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass made it painless. Booking was quick, I got a solid confirmation, and everything matched what I was told.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass in one piece. We were dropped right at the front door of Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass, not on a corner with the bags. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass, it was well worth it.
Traveling with the whole family, we booked a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass. The ride from the terminal to Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass was easy the whole way, and we could just watch the city go by. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
Na hora, profissional, e o motorista sabia exatamente onde ficava Comfort Suites Tamarac Sawgrass.
