From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort sits right on the coast, with Fort Lauderdale Beach and its walkable promenade a short step from the lobby. This is the kind of stay where you can set your bags down and be standing on the sand within minutes, the ocean laid out in front of you. For a group stepping off a cruise, it makes a natural landing spot — close to the water, easy to settle into, and set in a city built around its beach.
Fort Lauderdale layers a few different worlds into one compact stretch. The promenade beach runs along the shore, the yacht-lined New River threads through the middle of town, and Las Olas Boulevard gathers galleries, shops, and places to eat within easy reach of the resort. Port Everglades and its cruise piers sit at the southern edge of the city, so the whole area is used to travelers arriving by sea.
From the resort, the beach is the obvious first move — walk out, find the water, and let the trip begin. Beyond that, Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are both close by, and the Riverwalk along the New River gives you a shaded stroll past the boats. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is nearby too, a pocket of green for a quieter afternoon. Everything here points back to the coast, which is exactly why arriving with your bags already at the door makes for such an easy start.
The ride begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, where your driver is staged and waiting before you finish clearing the hall. There is no line to join and no fare to negotiate — the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, your bags go straight into it, and you head out as soon as everyone is aboard. Pickup is timed to your ship’s arrival, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you.
From the port, the route runs north on I-95 toward Fort Lauderdale, a trip that normally takes 55 to 72 minutes depending on how traffic is moving that morning. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, and the driver brings it right to the entrance of Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort — door to door, curb to lobby, with nothing added 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.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
A child seat can be installed for $15 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
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.
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.
We booked one van for the whole group from the terminal to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort so we all checked in together. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado esperándonos en la terminal para el viaje hasta Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort nos quitó todo el estrés. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos.
Mi esposa y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort antes de zarpar. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin una sola complicación. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
Bajamos del barco listos para una cama de verdad y un conductor ya esperando para llevarnos a Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort marcó la pauta del resto del viaje. El conductor metió toda la pila de equipaje para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada. El auto estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, un alivio con el calor de Miami.
After our week aboard, my wife and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was no guessing at the port.
