From $120 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Tamarac.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Tamarac is a Wyndham-family inn and all-suites property set in Tamarac, on the quieter inland side of the Fort Lauderdale area. It makes an easy base after a cruise: close enough to the coast for a day at the beach, far enough back to feel calm when you want to settle in and unpack. If you are rolling straight off the ship with luggage in tow, arriving somewhere this steady is a relief.
On arrival you will find the practical things travelers actually care about. The property offers on-site amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in, so a bag can be stored and a room readied without a long wait in the lobby. The full picture of what the hotel provides — room types and current details — lives on La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Tamarac’s official page, which is the place to confirm anything specific before you travel.
The location earns its keep once you are ready to explore. Las Olas Boulevard and Port Everglades sit within reach, and the Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are both close by in Fort Lauderdale. Canals thread the city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal — the reason locals call it the Venice of America — and the beachfront promenade runs for miles along the water. Whether you are here for one night before flying home or staying on to see the coast, the hotel puts the highlights a short drive away.
The trip runs door to door as a single direct leg from the cruise terminal to La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Tamarac — no detours, no waiting on anyone else’s schedule. Your chauffeur is already there when you clear the port, meets you at the terminal your cruise line uses, and loads every bag at the curb so nothing has to be dragged across the pier. From there it is straight to the hotel.
Once the luggage is in the vehicle, the plan is simple: clear the terminal, bags to the curb, one steady ride north to your door. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat rate, so nothing gets added on the day. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute, a slow disembarkation or heavier traffic does not throw off the plan — the driver is waiting for you, not the clock.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, no surprises from the terminal to La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Tamarac. Recommend it without hesitation. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
The little ones were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Tamarac in one piece. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
After a week at sea I only wanted the ride handled, so a private car from the terminal to La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Tamarac was money well spent. The driver took care of every bag so I didn’t have to lift a thing. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. Would book again for the next cruise.
