A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Extended Stay America Suites Fort Lauderdale – Davie Hotel covers 28.4 miles in about 48-58 minutes, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. One bilingual driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal and drives door to door.
Prices are per vehicle for the whole group, set by passenger count and locked when you reserve.
Book a private vehicle sized to your party and the driver handles the rest from the cruise terminal to the hotel lobby. Groups up to 5 ride in the black SUV; parties of 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 take a climate-controlled van. The driver meets you at the terminal curb as you finish disembarking, loads your cruise luggage with room to spare, and drives straight to the Davie hotel with no extra stops. There is no transfer to another vehicle, no shared seats with strangers, and no waiting in a taxi line after a long voyage. The whole party travels together in one reserved car.
Message the team on WhatsApp with your ship name, disembark date, party size, and the hotel as your destination. You receive a confirmation and a secure payment link. Send a name-sign request in the same chat if you want the driver holding a placard at the terminal exit.
One reserved vehicle carries only your party, with a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. The fare is fixed at booking, so the number you agree to is the number you pay, with no surge pricing and no demand markup tacked on later. Nobody else shares the ride, and there is no meter ticking while you sit in disembark traffic. You arrange everything directly over WhatsApp, from the first quote to the day-of pickup, so a real person answers your questions instead of an app queue. For families and groups stepping off a ship with kids and bags, that means walking out of the terminal to a known car and a driver who already has your details.
The drive runs about 48 minutes off-peak and up to 58 minutes at peak across the 28.4 miles between the port and Davie. Early morning and late evening trips usually sit at the lower end. Midday and weekday rush, plus heavy disembark mornings when several ships clear at once, push toward the upper figure. The driver tracks conditions and chooses the fastest open road, so the estimate already accounts for normal South Florida traffic. Build a little buffer on a departure day so you reach the hotel relaxed rather than rushed.
Drivers typically head north out of PortMiami on the I-95 EXPR express lanes, the most direct corridor toward Broward County, then cut west toward Davie on the surface roads near the hotel. If a crash or backup blocks the express lanes, the driver reroutes to keep the trip moving.
Extended Stay America Suites Fort Lauderdale – Davie sits in the Town of Davie, an inland Broward community southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale known for its college campuses and laid-back, low-rise setting. The hotel offers studio suites with in-room kitchens, a practical base if you want to cook between cruise legs or stretch a longer stay. You can read room details and policies on the Davie Hotel official site or browse the local rundown on the Visit Lauderdale listing.
The Davie and west Broward area has a spread of extended-stay and value lodging suited to travelers between cruises or attending events at the nearby universities. If you prefer the coast, the greater Fort Lauderdale beachfront sits a short drive east. We drop you wherever your reservation is.
Davie puts you close to Nova Southeastern University, the western-themed town center, and easy roads toward Sawgrass Mills shopping in nearby Sunrise. Quiet parks and casual dining sit within minutes, making it a calm landing spot after a busy sailing rather than a crowded tourist strip.
The hotel is inland in Davie, so the Atlantic beaches are roughly a half-hour east by car, and Fort Lauderdale’s airport sits a similar short hop to the northeast. Davie itself trades beachfront for quieter, more residential surroundings and quick highway access in every direction.
The rate covers the full private ride: a bilingual driver, curbside cruise-terminal pickup, door-to-door drop-off at the hotel, and onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot. The first child seat for a child under 5 is included free when you request it in advance. Small pets are welcome with prior notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier. The price is per vehicle, so every seat in your tier is yours at no added cost. Anything outside this list is not part of the booking unless we confirm it for you in writing first.
Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the quoted price. You will not be asked to cover express-lane fees or top up gas at the end of the trip. The figure confirmed at booking is what the ride costs for the route.
A second or additional child seat beyond the first free one carries an extra fee, confirmed when you book. Trips that begin outside daytime hours add an after-hours amount detailed below. Nothing else is added on top of the per-vehicle rate for a standard point-to-point transfer.
Yes. Each vehicle carries a mobile hotspot, so you can check your hotel reservation, message family, or get back online after days at sea while the driver handles the road. The connection is included at no separate charge as part of the booking.
Three private tiers cover groups from solo travelers to large families, each reserved for your party alone. Pick by head count and we assign the matching vehicle.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or our website, so you can lock the booking before your cruise. A round trip is simply double the one-way price for the same route. You secure the reservation with a 50% deposit at booking, then pay the remaining 50% directly to the driver on the day of travel. The deposit holds your vehicle and driver for the date and party size you chose, and the day-of balance settles the rest once the driver greets you. Paying ahead means there is no fumbling for cash or cards as you step off the ship with luggage in hand.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no added cost. Trips that start outside that window carry a modest after-hours amount, applied by vehicle type.
If your ship arrives behind schedule, the driver adjusts to your actual disembark time at no rebooking penalty. We follow terminal arrival updates so the pickup re-times itself around the real clearance, rather than leaving without you. Keep us posted on WhatsApp if you hear of a delay onboard and the driver waits.
The driver meets your group curbside right outside the cruise terminal as you finish disembarking and clearing customs. Request a name sign in advance on WhatsApp and the driver holds a placard at the exit so you spot the car fast. From there it is a direct loaded-up departure toward Davie.
Yes to both. The first child seat for a child under 5 is free when you ask ahead, and any additional seat has a small fee set at booking. Small pets ride along with advance notice on WhatsApp, secured in a pet carrier. Let us know your needs when you reserve so the driver arrives prepared.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole party rides together for the single price shown in the prices list above, whether that is one traveler or a full van. Adding passengers within your tier’s seat count does not change the cost, which keeps group and family budgeting simple.
Yes. Book the return at the same time and the round trip is calculated as double the one-way price for your vehicle. Give us your hotel checkout time and return cruise date, and the driver collects you at the Davie hotel to bring you back to the port, with the same private, door-to-door service both directions.
