A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and WoodSpring Suites Fort Lauderdale Hotel covers 35.6 miles (57.3 km) in about 66 to 76 minutes, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle in a black SUV or climate-controlled van. One named driver, one reserved vehicle, door-to-door between the cruise terminal and the hotel — booked before you sail.
Pricing is per vehicle, locked at booking, and set by passenger count rather than by traffic or demand.
Reserve a private vehicle before your sailing and skip the taxi line entirely on disembark day. After you clear customs and roll your bags out of the terminal, your driver is waiting curbside, ready to load the SUV or van and pull straight onto the northbound route. The trip runs up I-95 toward Fort Lauderdale, with no stops, no shared seats, and no scramble for a curbside ride after a long voyage. Pick the vehicle that matches your party size: a black SUV handles up to 5 cruisers, a van takes 6 to 9, and a larger van seats 10 to 14, so a family or a full cabin group all travels together. There is plenty of room for cruise luggage inside, and the drop-off is right at the hotel entrance — door to door, terminal to lobby, with the whole route confirmed when you book.
Plan on 66 to 76 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak. Early-morning departures, before highway volume builds, sit near the 66-minute end of that window. Late-afternoon and weekday rush hours push toward 76 minutes, and a disembark morning with several ships emptying at once can add a few more, since terminal roads and the first stretch of highway fill quickly. Your driver watches conditions on the day and chooses the cleanest path north, but the fare never moves with the clock — the price you locked at booking is the price you pay, whether the road is wide open or stacked up. For departing passengers heading back to the ship, the same window applies in reverse, and we build in a comfortable cushion so a slow stretch of traffic never threatens your boarding deadline.
WoodSpring Suites Fort Lauderdale Hotel is an extended-stay property in the Davie area west of Fort Lauderdale, built around suites with in-room kitchens and weekly rates — a practical base for cruisers spending a night or two before or after a sailing. The location keeps you close to the Fort Lauderdale corridor while sitting a short hop from major highways for onward travel. You can review room types, kitchen amenities, and weekly options on the WoodSpring Suites official site, or check property details for this corner of Broward County through the WoodSpring Suites Davie extended-stay listing. The surrounding Davie and west Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods put everyday dining, grocery runs, and quick highway access within easy reach, which suits travelers who want a self-catering room and a calm spot to rest between the ship and the rest of their trip.
Three private vehicle classes cover every cruise party size, each reserved for your group alone.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the quoted price, so nothing is added on arrival. Every ride includes a bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — and onboard WiFi served through a mobile hotspot. The first child seat for a child under 5 is provided at no charge; each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book, so let us know your seat count in advance. Small pets are welcome with prior notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier. What sits outside the base rate is limited and named up front: any extra child seat beyond the first, and the after-hours surcharge for pickups outside daytime operating hours. There are no surprise add-ons for traffic, route length, or a delayed ship — the figure you confirm at booking is the figure that holds for the trip.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or the website — whichever is easiest for you. A 50% deposit confirms and locks the booking, and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the trip. A round trip is simply double the one-way price, covering both your terminal-to-hotel ride and the return leg back to the ship, arranged under one reservation. Booking both directions at once keeps a vehicle held for your sailing date in each direction, which matters most on busy embark and disembark mornings. Confirm your passenger count, pickup point, date, and time when you reserve, and the full per-vehicle price is settled before you ever step off the ship. Departing passengers pay the same way, with the balance handled at the start of the run to the cruise terminal.
The vehicle is reserved for your party only — no shared seats, no other passengers, no stops to drop strangers along the way. Your driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the handoff right as you step off a long voyage with bags in tow. You book and coordinate directly over WhatsApp, so there is a real person confirming your pickup rather than an app matching a random car. For cruise passengers working against a fixed embarkation time or stepping off a delayed ship, that direct line and a held vehicle take the guesswork out of the ground leg. The price is set per vehicle when you reserve, so a couple in the SUV and a family filling a van each know their exact cost before sailing. It is a straightforward, coordinated handoff built around the rhythm of cruise days, terminal to lobby and back.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Pickups scheduled outside that window carry a modest after-hours charge, listed plainly here so it is never a surprise on the day.
Yes — disembark day is exactly what this service is built for. Your driver is scheduled around your ship’s arrival and waits curbside as you exit the terminal, so there is no taxi line and no wait once your bags are off. Reserve in advance with your sailing date and the vehicle is held for that morning.
Your driver meets you curbside right where passengers exit the cruise terminal, ready to load the SUV or van as you arrive. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and the driver holds it up for an easy match. You stay in touch by message, so you can confirm the exact spot the moment you step out.
A late docking is handled without a new booking. Drivers track ship arrival times and re-time the pickup at no extra charge if your vessel comes in behind schedule. The held vehicle waits for your actual exit, so a delayed disembarkation does not cost you the ride or trigger a fresh fare. Just keep us posted by WhatsApp.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the price list above. A solo cruiser, a couple, or a full family pays the same SUV figure for up to 5 people; vans are priced by their passenger band. More travelers in one vehicle simply means a lower cost per head.
Yes, and a round trip is simply double the one-way price, arranged under a single reservation. That covers your terminal-to-hotel arrival and the return run back to the ship for embarkation. Booking both legs at once holds a vehicle for each direction on your dates, which is the safest move for busy embark and disembark mornings.
Yes — every vehicle has space for the bags a cruise trip generates, and the driver helps load them curbside as you leave the terminal. Match your party size to the right class: the SUV for up to 5, a van for 6 to 9, or the larger van for 10 to 14, so people and luggage travel together in one trip.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
