From $175 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites sits just south of Fort Lauderdale’s airport, in the twin communities of Hallandale and Dania Beach. It is an easy landing spot after a cruise, close to the airport for anyone with a flight the next morning, yet placed where the shoreline is only steps away. Plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they come ashore.
The neighborhood around the hotel blends a few different moods. There are casinos and racing at Gulfstream Park, the fishing pier out at Dania Beach, and quieter stretches of protected coast at Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park. Design-minded travelers can wander the showrooms at the Design Center of the Americas, known as DCOTA, a short outing from the hotel. It is the kind of area where a lively night out and a calm morning by the water are both within reach.
On arrival, the hotel side of the stay is handled directly by the property. Amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in are all arranged through Best Western, which helps when a ship lets out well before a room is ready. You can leave your bags, step out to the beach or the pier, and settle in once your room opens. With the airport, the casinos, and the coast all close together, the location works whether your plans call for one more day of sun or a quick turnaround to a flight home.
The trip is planned around your ship rather than around whatever is available at the curb. Once you clear disembarkation, your driver meets you right at your terminal, not off in a parking lot, and helps load the luggage into the vehicle. The whole group rides together in one private car, so there is no waiting in a taxi line or juggling bags on the sidewalk while you sort out a ride.
From there it is a direct run north to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites, with the group dropped at the entrance and the bags carried to the curb beside you. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, when thousands of passengers step off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual walk-off. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and the vehicle is staged for the morning rush, with the driver coordinated by message as you exit.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
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. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
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.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
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. Each seat is $20 and is 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, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Cruising with the kids, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight over to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites was worth every bit. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites, it was well worth it.
My husband and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites. The ride from the terminal to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites was easy the whole way, and we could just settle in.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites so the whole group stayed together. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
We didn’t want to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites.
We came off the ship worn out from a great week and a driver already waiting to take us to Best Western Plus Fort Lauderdale Airport South Inn & Suites was the right call. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
