A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Fort Lauderdale covers 27.8 miles (44.7 km) in about 51 to 60 minutes door to door, in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. One vehicle stays reserved for your group, with room for cruise luggage and a direct run north on I-95.
Pricing is set per vehicle by group size, locked the moment you book — pick the tier that fits your party.
A reserved private vehicle is the most direct way north — you ride your own group, with no stops to collect strangers.
Choose the tier that matches your party: the black SUV for up to five travelers, or the van for groups of six to nine or ten to fourteen. The driver pulls up to the cruise terminal curb, helps load the suitcases, and heads straight out, so there is plenty of space for the bags you carry off the ship. The drop-off is door-to-door — your hotel lobby, a private address, or wherever your Fort Lauderdale stay begins.
Your driver waits at the assigned terminal as your group walks out, then loads the luggage and pulls away. Pickup is curbside at the cruise port itself, not a remote lot, so you are not hauling bags across a parking structure to reach the vehicle after a long disembark line.
Message the team on WhatsApp or the website with your ship name, sail date, group size, and the Fort Lauderdale address. You receive a confirmed flat fare and a payment link. Lock it in early so the vehicle tier you want is held for your debark morning, when the port runs busiest.
The drive runs 51 to 60 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak.
The 27.8-mile route follows I-95 north for most of the trip, which keeps the timing steady between the two cruise hubs. Off-peak, expect close to 51 minutes; during rush hours and crowded disembark mornings, allow the full 60. When three or more ships clear the terminals at once, the surrounding port roads back up, so leave a comfortable cushion if you have a flight, a hotel check-in, or a later sailing out of Port Everglades to make. Your driver factors the real conditions into the pickup time, watching the corridor rather than a fixed schedule, so a slow traffic morning does not turn into a missed connection. The flat fare does not move whether the run takes 51 minutes or the full hour.
Fort Lauderdale pairs a wide Atlantic beachfront with the canals that earned it the nickname Venice of America.
The city sits beside Port Everglades, one of South Florida’s busiest cruise terminals, so it is a natural pre- or post-sailing base. Las Olas Boulevard lines up galleries, sidewalk cafes, and boutiques a short ride from the sand, while the Riverwalk traces the New River through downtown. Water taxis and sightseeing boats run the canals past the yacht-lined estates. For a quieter stop, the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple sits among landscaped grounds in the Davie area.
The Fort Lauderdale Beach strip puts you steps from the Atlantic and a quick hop to Port Everglades for an early sailing. The Las Olas and downtown Riverwalk area suits travelers who want restaurants and nightlife within walking distance. Both sit within an easy drive of either cruise terminal.
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park offers a green stretch between the beach and the Intracoastal. The Bonnet House Museum and Gardens preserves a historic estate close to the shore. Shoppers gravitate to Las Olas Boulevard, while families often pick the beachfront promenade for an easy afternoon before boarding.
Three private tiers cover everything from a couple to a large multi-cabin family — pick by head count.
The booked fare already covers the road costs and the in-ride basics, so there is nothing to settle at the toll plaza.
Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the rate you confirm — the I-95 corridor and the express lanes are paid by the operator, not by you. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot so you can check in, message family, or pull up your hotel reservation on the way. The driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths arrival logistics for international cruise guests. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone — no other riders share the cabin.
The first child seat for a child under five is free; each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Trips that fall outside the 7 AM to 9 PM daytime window add an after-hours amount detailed further down the page. Small pets travel with advance notice on WhatsApp inside a pet carrier.
The fare is locked when you book — it never jumps for traffic, demand, or a crowded debark morning.
A single vehicle is held for your group, so you are never paired with strangers or rerouted for extra pickups. The driver tracks your ship’s arrival, which matters most on cruise days when terminals clear in waves and timing shifts by the hour. Because the price is set at booking, a slow corridor or a late docking does not add a dollar to what you pay. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and on the day of travel, so questions about meeting points or timing get answered fast rather than disappearing into an app queue.
Cruise mornings are unpredictable — customs lines, staggered debark groups, luggage in tow. A driver who waits at the terminal and adjusts to your actual exit time removes the scramble of finding a ride in a crowded pickup zone. Your group, your bags, and your schedule stay together from the ship to the door.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or the website.
A 50% deposit confirms the booking and holds your vehicle tier; the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the trip. That split keeps your reservation secure while leaving the balance for travel day. Confirmation comes back with your fare, the pickup details, and the contact line for any last-minute change to your ship or arrival time.
A round trip is simply double the one-way fare for your vehicle tier — the same flat rate applied to each direction. Book both legs together and the return is held for your departure date, whether you are heading back to either cruise port or onward to the airport area for a flight.
Half the fare is due at booking and the other half is paid to the driver on travel day. The deposit secures the vehicle and locks the price; nothing else changes between booking and pickup unless you adjust the trip details with the team in advance.
Your pickup re-times automatically — the driver tracks the ship’s arrival and adjusts, at no change to your flat fare. Cruise schedules slip, and the booking accounts for it, so a delayed docking does not mean re-booking or losing your spot. Keep the WhatsApp line open and the driver coordinates the new exit window with you.
The driver waits curbside at your assigned cruise terminal as your group exits, holding a name sign if you request one over WhatsApp ahead of time. Pickup is right at the port, not a distant lot, so you walk straight from disembark to the vehicle and load luggage on the spot.
The rate is per vehicle, not per head — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the pricing list above. A couple and a family of five in the same SUV pay the identical fare. That makes a private transfer especially economical for larger cruise parties splitting one vehicle.
Yes — debark mornings are the core of this service. Send your ship name and sail date when booking, and the driver plans around your terminal’s clearance time. Because departure waves run staggered and the port roads get busy, locking the vehicle early keeps your tier reserved for that exact morning.
The first child seat for a child under five is free; any additional seat is added at booking for a small confirmed amount. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier. Flag both needs when you reserve so the right setup is ready at the curb.
Trips that fall outside the 7 AM to 9 PM daytime window carry a modest after-hours surcharge on top of the standard fare.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Viajando con los chicos, nada de llamar mil veces, una respuesta y listo. viaje fluido desde la acera hasta el terminal de cruceros. Éramos 8 en la van y entró too bien.
Tudo perfeito. chegou na hora mesmo com trânsito, e chegamos às 23h e o carro já tava lá.
came in late the night before the cruise, travelling alone for work, transparent pricing from booking to drop-off. I got in at 11pm and the car was right there. perfect way to land in miami.
Sin problemas. Nada de llamar mil veces, nada de líos en el pickup. (para nuestro grupo de 6)
Eu e minha esposa, atendimento cordial em todo o trajeto
