From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach is a beachfront address in Fort Lauderdale, set where the city meets the ocean. It sits along the same stretch of coast as the beachfront promenade that runs for miles, so the sand and the walkway are part of the neighborhood rather than a drive away. For a traveler stepping off a ship and heading north, it is a place to trade the port for the beach in a single ride.
The setting is one of the things that makes Fort Lauderdale worth the trip. Canals thread through the city from Las Olas to the Intracoastal, which is why locals call it the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade stretches for miles just beyond the hotel. That mix of water, walkway, and ocean puts a lot within reach on foot once you have checked in and set your bags down.
What you find on arrival is a straightforward beach base rather than a place you have to work to get to. The chauffeur brings you to the entrance and carries your bags to the curb beside you, so the first thing you do in Fort Lauderdale is walk inside, not sort out logistics. From there the promenade, the beach, and the canal-lined streets are the reasons to stay an extra day or two, and the official Greater Fort Lauderdale visitor site is a good place to plan around them.
This is a terminal-to-door private transfer. After you clear the cruise terminal at the Port of Miami, your chauffeur is staged and waiting, timed to your ship’s actual disembarkation rather than a guessed hour. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, the group rides together, and the run north follows I-95 to Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach. Plan on roughly 57 to 74 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the time of day.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands of passengers walking off the ships at once, so that I-95 traffic is already built into the timing and the flat fare. There is no shuttle line and no dragging luggage across the port. You clear the terminal, the bags go to the curb, and one direct ride takes you to the entrance, where the driver sets your luggage down beside you.
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.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
We reserved one van for the whole group from the terminal to Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach so the whole group stayed together. There was a name sign at the curb, so we knew right where to go.
Coordinamos una sola van para todo el grupo de la terminal a Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach para que hiciéramos el check-in todos juntos.

After our cruise, my wife and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach with nothing left to sort out. We were dropped straight at the door of Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach, not on a corner with the bags.
Our whole crew walked off at once and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach — nobody splitting up. We went from the terminal to a real bed with nothing to worry about in between.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach after disembarking. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was reliable and on time. The SUV was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
