A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pembroke Pines-Sheridan St Hotel covers 30.5 miles (49.1 km) in about 51 to 63 minutes by 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 straight to the hotel in Pembroke Pines — no shared seats, no surge pricing.
Each price below is per vehicle, locked at the moment you book, and covers the whole group for the full door-to-door ride.
A reserved private vehicle is the most direct way to reach Pembroke Pines after you step off the ship. You pick the tier that matches your party — a black SUV for up to five, a van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen — and the driver is assigned to your group alone. There is room for cruise luggage, so you load up once and ride straight to the hotel without transfers or detours. Booking takes a single message: send your ship name, terminal, and arrival date through WhatsApp, and the fare is confirmed before trip day. The driver heads to the correct terminal as your ship docks, so the car is ready when you clear the gangway.
Your driver waits curbside at the terminal where your ship docks and meets the group as you walk out. Request a name sign in advance through WhatsApp and the driver holds it up so you spot the car quickly. From there it is a direct drive to the hotel entrance with no extra stops.
Three private tiers cover every cruise party size, and the vehicle you book is held for your group only. The black SUV suits couples, solo travelers, and small families up to five. Larger groups move up to a van without splitting across cars.
The drive takes about 51 minutes off-peak and up to 63 minutes at peak. The 30.5-mile route leaves the port, picks up I-75, and joins the Palmetto Expressway before reaching Sheridan Street in Pembroke Pines. Off-peak runs move quickly; midday and late-afternoon congestion around Miami’s interchanges is what pushes the upper end of the range. Disembarkation mornings, when several ships clear at once, can also slow the first few miles near the port itself. Because the fare is fixed at booking, a slower run never changes what you pay — the meter does not exist here. The driver monitors live conditions and chooses the cleaner of the two highway segments when traffic builds on one of them.
When three or more ships dock on the same morning, the area around the terminals backs up and the first stretch of the drive slows. Your driver allows for that by watching arrival schedules, but plan your onward connections with a buffer on busy disembarkation days. The fixed fare still holds regardless of the delay.
A private vehicle reserved for your party is the core of this service, and several concrete details set the ride apart for cruise travelers. The driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — which helps when you are coordinating after a long voyage. Ship-arrival tracking means the car is timed to when you actually dock, not a guessed hour, and re-timing is handled for you if the ship is delayed. Your cruise luggage is loaded and handled at both ends, and the whole group stays in one vehicle from terminal to lobby. Direct WhatsApp contact keeps you connected to the driver before and during the trip, so there is no app queue or anonymous dispatch. The booking covers a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pembroke Pines-Sheridan St Hotel, planned around your sailing.
Yes — every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so you can confirm details, give directions, or ask questions in your own language. This matters most right after disembarkation, when you are managing luggage, family, and onward timing at once. Let us know your preferred language on WhatsApp and we match the driver where possible.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pembroke Pines-Sheridan St Hotel sits on Sheridan Street in Pembroke Pines, a Broward County suburb west of Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. The surrounding area is built for travelers, with shopping centers, restaurants, and quick highway access to the wider South Florida coast. For property details, room types, and amenities, see the official hotel page, and for an independent overview check this Pembroke Pines hotel listing. The location keeps you close to Broward’s business districts while staying an easy drive from the beaches and airport.
The hotel’s Sheridan Street setting puts dining, retail, and supermarkets within a short ride, which suits a pre-cruise stock-up or a post-cruise wind-down. Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood beaches sit a manageable drive east, and the wider Broward area offers parks and shopping malls. It is a practical base between port calls and onward travel.
This page covers transfers to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pembroke Pines-Sheridan St Hotel itself, the property you are heading to. If you are weighing the wider area, the Sheridan Street corridor and nearby Pembroke Pines districts hold a range of options close to the highways. We drive you directly to your booked address whichever you choose.
The booked fare covers the full private ride, the driver, and the running costs of the trip. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are built into the price, so there is nothing extra to settle on the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot in the vehicle. The first child seat is free for a child under five; any additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier.
Anything beyond the point-to-point ride sits outside the rate — gratuities, meals, and personal purchases during the trip are not included. Extra child seats past the first carry a confirmed fee, and after-hours pickups add a surcharge described below. Nothing is added silently; every extra is agreed with you before trip day.
Yes — the vehicle carries a mobile hotspot so you can get online while you travel from the port to Pembroke Pines. It is handy for messaging family, checking your hotel reservation, or planning onward plans after the cruise. No setup is needed beyond connecting your device once you are aboard.
Payment is handled by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent through WhatsApp or our website. You reserve the trip with a 50% deposit, then pay the remaining 50% to the driver on the day of travel. This keeps the booking confirmed in advance while leaving the balance for trip day.
A round trip is simply the one-way fare doubled, arranged under one booking for both legs. You give us the return date and pickup time, and the same private service carries you back toward the port. Booking both directions together keeps a single driver and one coordinated schedule across your trip.
Pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no extra charge. Trips that start outside those daytime hours add an after-hours surcharge, shown clearly at booking so there are no surprises.
Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival and re-times the pickup at no extra cost if you dock late. There is nothing to re-book and no penalty for a delayed gangway. Send your ship name and terminal when you reserve, and the car is timed to the actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock hour.
Your driver waits curbside at the cruise terminal where your ship docks and meets the group as you exit. Ask for a name sign through WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds it so you find the vehicle fast. From the curb it is a direct ride to the hotel — no walking to a remote lot.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups are the core of this service. Give us your sailing date and terminal, and the driver is positioned for the morning you walk off. Even when several ships clear together and the port is busy, your arrival is tracked and the curbside meet is timed to when you actually get off.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the prices section above. A couple or a family of five in the SUV pays the same single fare, and a van party splits one rate across the group. There is no per-head charge stacked on top.
Yes — the first child seat is free for a child under five. Each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book, so let us know the number and ages of children on WhatsApp ahead of time. We fit the seats before pickup so the family is ready to ride straight away.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
