From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport sits along the coast in the Hallandale and Dania Beach area, right where the two communities meet at the county line. It makes an easy base after a cruise: close to the water, close to the airport, and set among some of the more relaxed corners of the region rather than in the middle of a busy downtown. When your ride pulls up to the door, you are stepping into a part of Florida that still feels a little unhurried.
On arrival you find yourself minutes from a mix of places worth a stop. Gulfstream Park brings both racing and shopping under one roof, while Dania Pointe gathers a run of outlets for anyone who wants to browse before or after the trip. The old-Florida character of the neighborhood shows up too, most of all at the Dania Beach Fishing Pier, a genuinely local spot to slow down and watch the water.
The location keeps you well placed for more than just a night’s rest. The Design Center of the Americas, known as DCOTA, is nearby for anyone with an eye for interiors, and the beach itself is only a short walk away once your bags are down. Because the hotel straddles Hallandale and Dania Beach, you get the calm of a coastal setting with plenty within reach. Anything about the stay itself belongs to the hotel’s own official page; getting you to its door in one clean run from the ship is our part of the day.
This is a door-to-door private transfer. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you clear the terminal on Dodge Island, then meets your group at the curb at the exact terminal your cruise line uses. There is no hunting for a stand and no sharing the vehicle with strangers. Every bag is loaded for you, lobby to curb, and rides inside the same car your party is in, so you settle in once and stay put until the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport comes into view.
From the pier it is one straightforward run north on I-95, normally in the range of 38 to 61 minutes depending on how the highway is moving that afternoon. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, a slow customs hall never costs you the ride. Your booking carries 30 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of getting off the ship stays yours to set.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
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.
Everything ran on time from the port to the front door of Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport — no complaints at all.
Mi esposa y yo tuvimos una travesía genial y lo rematamos con un auto privado listo en la acera para llevarnos a Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport — sin una sola preocupación en la terminal. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos. Reservar fue rápido, recibimos una confirmación sólida, y todo coincidió con lo prometido.
The stress-free way to get from the ship to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport. Highly recommend. I knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
My husband and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport before we even sailed. The ride from the terminal to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport was easy the whole way, and we could just unwind after the cruise. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. Made getting off the ship so easy.
For an easy disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport.
