A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport/Dania Beach Hotel covers 28.7 miles (46.2 km) in about 54 to 64 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the cruise terminal and drives door to door to the hotel entrance.
The fare is a flat rate per vehicle, set the moment you book, with the black SUV starting tier shown first below.
Booking is simple: message us on WhatsApp with your ship name, terminal, party size, and arrival date, and we lock the vehicle and the fare. Choose the black SUV for up to five travelers, or a climate-controlled van for larger groups of six to nine or ten to fourteen. On arrival day your driver waits curbside at your cruise terminal, holding a name sign if you request one in advance. There is plenty of room for cruise luggage, so the whole party loads in a single trip. From PortMiami the route heads north on I-95 straight toward Dania Beach, then runs the final surface streets to drop you at the hotel door. The same coordinated pickup works in reverse when you leave the hotel for a return sailing or onward flight. One message confirms everything to or from Port of Miami and Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport/Dania Beach Hotel.
Your group rides alone in a vehicle reserved only for you — no shared seats, no other passengers, no detours. The fare you see at booking is the fare you pay; demand and traffic never move it. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) handles the loading and the route while you settle in after a long sailing. We watch your ship’s posted arrival, so a late dock simply shifts your pickup with no penalty and no rebooking. Questions reach a real person on WhatsApp instead of a queue. For cruise passengers stepping off with tired kids and a stack of bags, that direct line and the reserved vehicle take the scramble out of the curbside. Every detail — vehicle, timing, fare — is settled before you ever reach the gangway, so the ride is one less thing to think about on debark day.
Plan on 54 to 64 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak. The shorter end holds during mid-morning and early-afternoon lulls; the longer end shows up at rush hour and on busy disembark mornings when several ships clear at once. The corridor follows I-95 north for most of the run before the final streets into Dania Beach. Weekday commuter peaks near 8 AM and 5 PM are the main variables, along with weather. Because the fare is fixed, a slow traffic day never costs you more — only the clock moves, never the price. We build the pickup window around your ship’s scheduled clearance, so you are not stranded on the curb and the driver is not circling the block. If your cruise returns you to PortMiami, the same timing logic applies in the opposite direction back toward the terminal.
Three private tiers cover any cruise party, each reserved solely for your group. Pick the one that matches your headcount and everyone rides together in one vehicle.
Every tier comes with the same bilingual driver and the same direct drop at the hotel entrance, so the only choice you make is capacity.
The hotel sits in Dania Beach, beside Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and a short ride from the Atlantic shoreline. The location suits cruisers who want an easy base near the airport before or after a sailing, with open-air shopping, dining, and the beach all within a quick drive. Downtown Fort Lauderdale and its waterfront are minutes north up the corridor. You can read more on the official Four Points Dania Beach hotel page and the area’s Visit Lauderdale travel guide. We bring you straight to the door, so you can drop your bags and start exploring on your own schedule.
Dania Pointe sits close by, an open-air complex of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The Atlantic beaches and the historic Dania pier area are a short ride east, and downtown Fort Lauderdale’s dining and waterfront are minutes north. Your driver can drop you at the hotel first so you settle in before heading out.
The property is an airport hotel right by Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, which makes it a natural stopover for cruisers flying out the next day. We bring you straight to the door after the sailing; from the hotel, the airport terminals are only a few minutes away by car, handy for an early onward flight.
The Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport/Dania Beach Hotel is this page’s home base and our drop-off point. If you are pairing a cruise with extra nights, the broader Dania Beach and airport area offers a range of lodging; we serve this hotel itself as your private, door-to-door destination from the port.
The rate covers the private vehicle and a bilingual driver from the cruise terminal to the hotel door. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all inside the price, so nothing is tacked on along the road. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, so the family can text, map, or stream during the ride north. The fare itself is locked at booking and does not shift for traffic, the time of day within daytime hours, or how full the road is. What sits outside the base rate is short and listed plainly below, so there are no surprises when the driver hands you off at the entrance and the trip is complete.
A few add-ons sit outside the base fare. Additional child seats beyond the first carry a fee confirmed at booking, and trips outside daytime hours add the surcharge noted in the late-night section. Bringing a small pet needs advance notice. Otherwise the tolls and fuel are already covered, so the route adds nothing on its own.
Yes to both, with notice. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional seat adds a fee set at booking. Small pets are welcome when you tell us ahead on WhatsApp and they travel in a pet carrier. Mention either when you reserve so the right vehicle is ready for your group.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or our website. We collect a 50% deposit when you book, and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the trip. A round trip is simply double the one-way rate — reserve the return alongside the outbound and the same vehicle class handles both legs. For cruise passengers that split is practical: you hold the booking with a deposit weeks ahead from home, then settle the balance in person once the driver delivers you to the hotel. Nothing about the total changes between booking and trip day, so the amount you agree to is the amount you pay, whether you ride one way off the ship or book both directions around your sailing.
Daytime service runs 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no added charge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small surcharge by vehicle type:
Nothing changes on your end. We watch your ship’s posted arrival, and if it docks late your pickup simply shifts to match — no rebooking and no penalty. The driver waits for your group to clear and exit, then meets you curbside. A late gangway never costs you the vehicle or the flat fare you locked.
Yes. Reserve both legs at once and the round trip is billed as double the one-way rate, with no new figure to track. The same vehicle class handles your terminal-to-hotel ride and the return from Dania Beach to your departure sailing or onward flight. Booking both together keeps one driver and one fare across the whole stay.
We drop you at the main entrance, so the hotel’s on-site amenities — its dining, pool, and fitness facilities — are steps from where you unload your bags. For exact hours and details, check the official hotel page linked in the section above. Our part is the door-to-door ride from the port; the hotel handles your stay from the lobby on.
A handful of practical details come up most often for cruise passengers booking this run. The answers below cover where to find your driver, how the fare is counted, room for bags, and same-day disembark pickups — the points that decide whether a curbside handoff goes smoothly after a week at sea.
Your driver waits curbside at your assigned cruise terminal as your group exits, holding a name sign when you request one in advance over WhatsApp. Send your ship and terminal number when you book so the pickup point is set ahead of arrival. You walk out, spot your name, and load straight into the reserved vehicle.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole party rides for the one flat price shown in the prices section above. A solo traveler and a group of five in the SUV pay exactly the same. That is why splitting a single private vehicle often works out better than per-seat options for families.
There is room for your cruise luggage in every vehicle tier, so the group and the bags travel together in a single trip. Tell us your party size when booking and we match the vehicle to your headcount, which keeps everyone and everything comfortably aboard for the ride from the terminal to the hotel.
Yes. Disembark-morning pickups are the core of what we do. We set the curbside meet around your ship’s scheduled clearance, so even on a busy morning with several ships in port the driver is there when you walk out. Book the date and terminal and we handle the timing from there.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
