A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Pembroke Pines covers 22.8 miles (36.7 km) in about 48 to 59 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. One booking moves your whole group from the ship straight to the front door.
Each price below is the total for the vehicle, not a per-person charge — pick the size that matches your cruise party and everyone rides for the one figure.
A pre-booked private vehicle is the most direct way off the ship and onto the road to Pembroke Pines. You choose the size at booking: a black SUV for parties of up to five, a van for groups of six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. On disembark morning, your driver waits curbside at your assigned cruise terminal and walks the group to the vehicle as you step out, so nobody hunts for a pickup spot in the crowd. There is room for cruise luggage, and the trip runs door to door — no terminal hops, no shared stops, straight to the Pembroke Pines address you give. To set it up, message the team on WhatsApp with your ship name, terminal, party size, and the street address, and the reservation is confirmed before you sail.
Your vehicle is reserved for your party alone — no pooling, no strangers added along the way, no detours. The fare is a flat rate locked the moment you book, so a long debark queue or peak traffic never changes the number you agreed to. A bilingual driver, fluent in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, handles the route while you settle in after the cruise. Booking and coordination run over direct WhatsApp, so you reach a real person — not a queue — to confirm the terminal, adjust a pickup time, or send your name sign request. The whole setup is built around cruise arrivals and departures: a named driver, a known address, and one confirmed plan for a group that has just spent a week at sea and wants a clean handoff to the door.
Plan on roughly 48 minutes from PortMiami to Pembroke Pines in light traffic, stretching to about 59 minutes when the roads are busy. The drive leaves the port, climbs onto the I-95 Express lanes, then links to the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike before reaching the residential west side of Broward County. The biggest variable is debark morning itself: when several ships empty at once, the streets around the terminals back up and the first few miles crawl before the highway opens out. Late-evening departures the other direction usually run nearer the 48-minute end. Your driver tracks the terminal flow and times the pickup around it, so the clock starts when you are actually walking off the gangway rather than at a fixed slot you might miss.
Pembroke Pines spreads across southwest Broward County as a master-planned suburb of golf-course communities, lakefront parks, and broad shopping corridors along Pines Boulevard. Passengers extending a Florida stay land in calm residential neighborhoods with easy reach to Fort Lauderdale, the beaches to the east, and the Everglades buffer to the west. The Pembroke Lakes Mall anchors the retail side, while green spaces like C.B. Smith Park draw families for a quieter day after the cruise. For city services, park hours, permits, and event listings, check the Pembroke Pines Official City Website or the Pembroke Pines City Services Portal.
Lodging clusters along the Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road corridors, where chain hotels sit close to restaurants and the mall. Visitors who want city energy often base themselves toward Fort Lauderdale or the downtown Miami area instead and treat Pembroke Pines as a quieter home base. Wherever you book, give the driver the exact street address and the transfer runs door to door.
Days here lean toward golf, lakefront parks, and family-scale outings rather than nightlife. C.B. Smith Park offers a water park and boating, the Pembroke Lakes Mall covers shopping and dining under one roof, and the beaches of Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale sit a short drive east. The western edge brushes up against the Everglades for airboat trips and nature walks.
All three options are private and reserved for your party only — the difference is headcount. Lead with the SUV for couples and small families, and step up to a van when the group or the gear grows. State your party size at booking and the matching vehicle is held for your transfer.
The fare covers the full ride from terminal curb to Pembroke Pines doorstep with the road costs already built in. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are part of the price, so there is no roadside top-up and no surprise line item when you arrive. Each vehicle carries onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, handy for re-confirming your hotel or letting family know you have landed after a week offline. For families, the first child seat for a child under five is included at no extra charge when you request it in advance on WhatsApp. The bilingual driver and the door-to-door routing are part of the standard service, not add-ons.
Each additional child seat beyond the first carries an extra fee, confirmed at the time of booking so you know the number before trip day. Trips that fall outside the 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daytime window carry the surcharge described further down. Anything not listed in the inclusions above is simply not part of the quoted fare.
Payment is split so you confirm now and settle the rest on the day. Send the deposit through any of the accepted methods, then hand the balance to the driver when the trip runs.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. A pickup that falls before or after that window carries a small added charge for the off-hours service.
Common questions from cruise travelers booking this route, with the direct answer first.
Your driver tracks the terminal debark flow and re-times the pickup to match, at no extra charge for a late dock. Because the fare is fixed at booking, a delayed arrival never changes the price. Just keep the WhatsApp thread open so the team can confirm the new walk-off window.
The driver waits curbside at your assigned cruise terminal and meets the group as you exit, with a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp ahead of time. Send your ship name and terminal number when you book so the driver is positioned at the right pickup point for your sailing.
Yes — disembark-day pickups are the core of this service. Book ahead with your ship, terminal, and address, and the vehicle is reserved for your walk-off. The driver works around morning debark traffic, which thickens when several ships unload together, so the timing tracks your actual exit rather than a fixed slot.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat figure shown in the prices above, whether it is a couple in the SUV or fourteen in the large van. A round trip is simply that one-way figure doubled for the return leg.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier for the trip. Let the team know when you book so the right vehicle is assigned and the driver expects the carrier. There is no separate arrangement to make beyond that heads-up at reservation time.
Yes — the transfer runs both directions, to or from Port of Miami and Pembroke Pines. Book the return leg the same way you book the arrival; a round trip is double the one-way fare for the same vehicle. Give the team your pickup time and sailing date, and the driver gets you to the terminal with time to spare.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
