From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale sits along the Hallandale and Dania Beach stretch of coast, a pocket of South Florida that straddles the county line roughly 21.6 miles north of the Port of Miami. It makes an easy landing spot after a cruise: close to the water, close to the shops, and reachable in one direct run up I-95. Drop your bags at the front door and the rest of the area opens up within a short reach.
Because Hallandale and Dania Beach sit right on the coast, an afternoon by the water is the natural move once you have checked in. Many guests leave their luggage at the property and walk toward the beach, turning the first day off the ship into something slower. The setting mixes horse racing and shopping at Gulfstream Park with the outlets at Dania Pointe, so you can trade the deck of a ship for a boardwalk, a storefront, or a quiet strip of sand without going far.
For anyone who likes to explore on arrival, Dania Pointe and the Dania Beach Fishing Pier are the usual first stops. The Design Center of the Americas, known as DCOTA, sits nearby, and Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park gives you old-Florida shoreline and open green space a short distance away. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property itself is the best source. What Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale offers is a calm, well-placed anchor for the coast-facing end of your trip.
The trip is a single door-to-door leg. Your chauffeur watches your ship’s arrival and is staged at the terminal before you clear the luggage hall, so the wait belongs to the driver rather than to you. Once you walk out, your bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and the car is yours alone for the full run — no other groups, no extra stops.
From the terminal the route heads up I-95 toward Hallandale and Dania Beach, covering the roughly 21.6 miles to Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale in about 37 to 53 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour. Disembarkation mornings back up quickly at the exits, but with the driver already in place and the fare fixed in advance, the ride stays one clean, direct leg from the curb to the hotel door.
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.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale took all the stress out of it. There was a sign with our name at the terminal doors, so we didn’t have to look around. An easy, low-key handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale with nothing left to sort out.
Coming ashore by myself, I had a driver already at the curb for the ride to Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale — nothing left to chance.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale in one piece.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado ahí mismo para nosotros para llevarnos a Cambria Suites Fort Lauderdale.
Qué bueno que reservamos con anticipación — un traspaso fácil y tranquilo, sin caos en el puerto, puerta a puerta. El auto estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, con el aire perfecto tras el barco.
