From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residences at The Symphony 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.
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.
Residences at The Symphony is a private address in Fort Lauderdale, and it is where this ride ends. From the cruise piers on Dodge Island the route runs one clean stretch up I-95, about 28 miles, so the car leaves the terminal and pulls up at the door of Residences at The Symphony with nothing in between. For travelers stepping off a ship with luggage in tow, having a set drop-off waiting at the other end takes the guesswork out of the morning.
The setting is easy to warm to once you are ashore. Guests staying here often make time for Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Riverwalk soon after they land, and two calmer draws sit close by as well: the Bonnet House, with its gardens and grounds, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, a green stretch tucked into the city. All of it falls within Fort Lauderdale, so you are settled near the parts of town most people come to see.
Fort Lauderdale layers a walkable promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and the galleries along Las Olas Boulevard, with the cruise piers of Port Everglades marking its southern edge. That mix puts sand, water, and browsing within reach of a single base. Every ride here is booked for your party alone and runs direct between the terminal and Residences at The Symphony, so the vehicle is yours from pickup to drop-off and the trip stays on your schedule rather than someone else’s.
The chauffeur meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island once your group clears the exit, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in so an early or late walk-off is covered. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and from the curb it is one run along I-95 to Residences at The Symphony, no stops and no extra pickups. Plan on roughly 28 miles and about 45 to 62 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic on the day you sail.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the I-95 traffic is already figured into the plan. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and the car is staged for the terminal curb, with the driver coordinating by message as you exit. Help with every bag comes standard, lobby cart to curb.
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.
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.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
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.
Todo salió a tiempo del puerto hasta la puerta de Residences at The Symphony — no se puede pedir más.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Residences at The Symphony took all the stress out of it. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we spotted the driver immediately.
No pudo ser más simple — recibidos en la acera, equipaje resuelto, y un traslado fácil hasta Residences at The Symphony.
Bajamos del barco cansados pero contentos y un conductor ya esperando para llevarnos a Residences at The Symphony fue justo lo indicado. El van estaba fresco y cómodo, con lugar para todo.
Easiest disembarkation I’ve had — met right at the terminal, luggage sorted, straight to the door of Residences at The Symphony. The driver loaded all my cruise luggage so I didn’t have to struggle with anything.
