From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time, then meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport. Curbside meet-and-greet is included; if you prefer to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet option for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port sits in Dania Beach, close to the cruise terminals at Port Everglades. The name tells you what the property is built for: a landing spot for travelers connecting straight to a ship, and an easy base for anyone who wants a night on the coast before the trip really begins. It is a practical place to stay, set within reach of the water and the terminals rather than tucked away inland.
Because the coast is close, a stay here often puts you near the sand, easy to unpack and head straight out. The port sits nearby as well, so the same private ride works whether you are checking in for the night or rolling your bags to a cruise. For those on a work trip, the location keeps things simple: a short, direct run from the terminal to check-in, without the guesswork of sorting out ground transport after a flight.
The wider area gives you plenty to fill an evening or a spare afternoon. The Riverwalk and the New River waterways are within reach, along with the Las Olas dining and gallery strip and the long beachfront promenade. A little farther out, the Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park round out the choices for anyone who wants greenery and history close to the shore. It is a spot that works for a quick overnight and for a longer stay alike, with the cruise port, the coast, and the city’s better-known corners all an easy drive from the door.
Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and meets you after you clear the terminal at MIA. From the arrivals curb it is one direct leg north, with your luggage loaded into a reserved vehicle that carries your group and no one else. The driver helps with the bags and walks you to the car, so there is no queue to join and no waiting around after a long flight. Plan on roughly 49 to 62 minutes door to door, depending on traffic on the highway.
The route runs straight to the entrance of Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port, whether you are heading in for the night or connecting to a ship. Off-peak the drive is quicker; rush hour sits at the slower end. Because the pickup follows your actual landing, an early or late arrival is handled without a fresh booking, and the fare agreed up front stays exactly where it started.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. The first child seat or booster is included on request and each additional one is $20, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
As a solo traveler I booked the airport pickup to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port ahead of time, and it made arriving painless. The driver was professional and courteous, which made it feel first-class.
The best decision we made — arrival was completely handled, door to door. The driver dropped us right at the door of Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port.
Mi esposo y yo reservamos un traslado privado del Aeropuerto de Miami a Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port para no buscar un taxi después del vuelo. El viaje a Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port fue calmado y sin complicaciones. Llegando de noche, fue un gran alivio tener un auto privado ya esperando.
Landing with tired kids, it made all the difference that the driver was waiting at arrivals with room for everyone. Landing late at night, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble.
Great service — so much better than a taxi. Booking was simple, we got a clear confirmation, and everything matched what we were told.
