A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Lighthouse Point covers 40.4 miles (65 km) in about 67 to 77 minutes door to door, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. Reserve one vehicle for the whole group and skip the cruise-day taxi line.
Each price below covers the whole vehicle for your party, not a per-person charge.
Book one private vehicle and ride straight from the terminal to your Lighthouse Point address. After you clear customs and collect your bags, your driver is waiting curbside, so there’s no taxi line and no app to open. Choose the black SUV when your party is five or fewer, the 6-to-9 van for a larger family, or the 10-to-14 van for a full group sailing together. Each vehicle has room for cruise luggage, so suitcases and carry-ons travel with you instead of in a second car. Reserve by WhatsApp or through the website, share your ship name and arrival date, and we time the pickup to your debark. The driver delivers you door to door — no transfers, no stops you didn’t ask for. One message confirms the vehicle, the meeting point, and the time.
One vehicle is reserved for your party alone, with a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. The fare is locked when you book, so surge pricing and demand spikes never change what you pay. You contact the driver directly on WhatsApp before and on the day of travel, which matters most when a ship arrival shifts. We track your ship’s docking so the pickup matches reality, not a guessed time. Luggage is handled at the curb, and the route is yours alone from PortMiami to the front door. Families with tight connection windows get a coordinated pickup rather than a scramble for a ride after a long sailing.
The vehicle is private to your party. No other passengers are added, and there are no pooled stops or detours to drop strangers along the way. You travel from the terminal to Lighthouse Point as one group, in the SUV or van you reserved, on a schedule built around your ship.
The ride runs about 67 minutes off-peak and up to 77 minutes at peak. The driver follows I-95 for most of the route before exiting toward northeast Broward County. Mid-morning and early-afternoon windows keep you near the lower end of that range. Weekday rush hours through the Fort Lauderdale corridor and busy disembarkation mornings push the trip toward the upper end. Because the fare is set per vehicle, traffic on the day never adds to the bill — the timing flexes, the price does not.
It can. When several ships clear customs in the same window, the roads leaving the port fill quickly and add minutes before you reach the highway. We plan pickups around known debark waves, so the driver positions early and routes around the heaviest terminal exits whenever the morning is crowded.
Lighthouse Point is a small waterfront city in northeast Broward County, laced with canals that open onto the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic. It sits between Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach, a quiet, boating-focused community a short drive from wide public beaches. Cruise travelers use it as a calm base after a sailing — marinas, waterfront dining, and the ocean are all close. For city details, hours, and local notices, see the Lighthouse Point official city site. Your driver delivers you straight to the address you provide, whether that’s a rental on the water, a relative’s home, or a marina slip.
The city itself is mostly residential, so many visitors book waterfront rentals along the canals. For hotel rooms, the neighboring Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach areas a few minutes south offer oceanfront stays. Tell us the exact address when you book and the transfer ends right at the door, no matter which area you choose.
Families spend time on the nearby public beaches, the Intracoastal for boating and fishing charters, and the historic waterfront dining the area is known for. Quiet parks and the canal-side setting suit travelers winding down after a sailing. Everything sits within a short ride, so a half-day of plans fits easily before or after the cruise.
The rate includes every toll, SunPass charge, and fuel cost along the way, so nothing is added at the curb. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, useful for confirming plans or checking the next leg of travel. The bilingual driver, the reserved vehicle, and door-to-door service are all part of the price you booked. The first child seat is free for a child under five, which helps families coming straight off a ship with young kids. Everything quoted is what you ride with from PortMiami to Lighthouse Point.
Each additional child seat beyond the first carries an extra fee, confirmed when you book. Trips that depart outside the daytime window add a surcharge, detailed further down the page. Small pets are welcome with advance notice but must travel in a carrier. Anything beyond the ride itself — meals, attractions, lodging — is arranged separately.
Pick the tier that fits your group size; every option is private to your party.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or the website, whichever is easiest before your sailing. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare for the same vehicle, booked as a single reservation so the return is locked in alongside the arrival pickup. You confirm everything in writing on WhatsApp, including the amounts, the vehicle tier, and the pickup time, before any money changes hands.
You pay a 50% deposit when you book, which holds the vehicle and the driver for your date. The remaining 50% goes directly to the driver on the day of the trip. That split keeps the reservation firm while leaving the balance until you’re on the ground and the ride is underway.
Trips that depart outside the daytime window listed above carry a modest surcharge that covers off-hours dispatch.
Yes — we serve the surrounding northeast Broward and south Palm Beach communities with the same private, per-vehicle model. Common destinations from PortMiami include Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Hillsboro Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raca just to the north. The vehicle stays yours from the terminal to the final address, whether that’s a beachfront rental one town over or a marina farther up the coast. Pricing scales with distance and is quoted per vehicle when you book, so a larger group splits one fare rather than paying per head. Tell us the exact drop-off city and we confirm the vehicle and timing on WhatsApp before your ship arrives.
Short answers to what arriving and departing cruise travelers ask before they book this route.
Nothing on your end. We track your ship’s arrival and re-time the pickup to the actual debark, at no extra charge for the delay. The driver waits at the terminal and meets you when you exit, so a late dock doesn’t cost you the ride or the fare you locked in.
Your driver meets the group curbside right at the cruise terminal as you exit with your bags. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and the driver holds it at the pickup point. You’ll have the driver’s direct contact before arrival, so connecting takes one message.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must ride in a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional seat carries an extra fee confirmed when you book. Let us know the ages so the right seats are installed before pickup.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the pricing section above, so a family of five pays the same as a couple in the SUV. A round trip is simply double the one-way for the same vehicle.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
