From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel puts you in a city that layers three different moods within reach of one another. There is the promenade beach that runs right along the ocean, the yacht-lined New River threading through downtown, and Las Olas Boulevard with its galleries a short distance inland. The hotel sits inside that coastal stretch, close enough to the water that a beach afternoon is the natural next move once you have dropped your bags.
Because Fort Lauderdale hugs the coast, the appeal on arrival is simple to picture. Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas Boulevard both sit within easy reach of the stay, and the wider city holds a few more anchors worth knowing about. Port Everglades and its cruise piers mark the southern edge of town, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park offers a pocket of green a little farther on. It is a place built for walking to the sand, then wandering back toward the galleries and the river when the sun eases off.
Anything about the stay itself, the rooms, the amenities, the front-desk details, lives on the property’s own official page, and that is the part we leave to them. Our piece is the road between the ship and the door. What we can promise is that you arrive at the correct entrance with your luggage still in the vehicle, ready to check in and step out toward the beach, the boulevard, or the river whenever you please.
Once you clear disembarkation at PortMiami, your chauffeur is already coordinated and waiting, staged for your ship’s actual arrival rather than a guessed time. It is one straightforward run north along I-95, roughly 28 miles, ending at the door of Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel. Your bags ride with you the whole way, lobby to curb, with hands-on help loading and unloading. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so there are no detours to pick up strangers along the route.
Plan on somewhere between 44 and 60 minutes, depending on the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, when thousands of passengers walk off at once, so the pickup is timed to your true disembarkation and the I-95 traffic is already built into the plan. The rate is agreed up front and does not move on the day.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $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.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
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.
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.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel. Booking was simple, we got a solid confirmation, and everything lined up perfectly. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
Nossa família de cinco desceu do navio no PortMiami e o motorista tinha espaço para cada mala para a viagem até Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel. Na noite anterior recebemos uma mensagem com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não havia dúvida de qual era o carro na saída.
With the little ones, pre-booking a private car from the port to Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel meant nothing to sort out on disembarkation morning. The ride from the terminal to Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel was quiet and relaxed, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
Fuimos de crucero con una tropa grande y queríamos a todos y las maletas en un solo viaje privado a Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel tras desembarcar.
There were six of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel was far simpler than splitting into cars. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — exactly right for the morning. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
