From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Quality Inn Sawgrass – Fort Lauderdale 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.
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.
Quality Inn Sawgrass sits in the Fort Lauderdale area, out in the western reach of Broward County where Sunrise, Plantation, and Coral Springs meet. This is the calmer, residential side of the region, a grid of quiet streets rather than beachfront bustle. Its main draw is how close it lands you to Sawgrass Mills, the sprawling outlet-and-brand shopping complex that pulls visitors from across South Florida, which makes the hotel an easy base for a shopping-minded stop after your cruise.
Once you have settled in, there is more within reach than the mall. The Plantation Historical Museum offers a small, local look at the area’s past, while Tradewinds Park spreads out green space and trails across North Broward. For anyone drawn to the wilder edge of the region, Everglades Holiday Park is nearby, a gateway to the sawgrass and wildlife that give this corner of Florida its name. Together they can turn a simple overnight into an afternoon or two of wandering.
For a traveler stepping off a ship at PortMiami, the hotel works well as a landing point north of the city, far enough to feel settled and close enough to reach without a long haul. You arrive by private car straight to the entrance, bags carried for you, with none of the parking-lot shuffle. Whatever the rest of your stay holds, getting there is the part we handle.
The ride runs door to door. Your chauffeur tracks your ship’s arrival and stages the car at the terminal curb, so once your group clears the exit and steps outside, the vehicle is already waiting, with no wandering through a parking structure to find it. Bags go straight into the car with the driver’s help, and you are on the road toward Fort Lauderdale.
From the pier the route heads north on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, a single straightforward run up to the door of Quality Inn Sawgrass. Plan on roughly 50 to 68 minutes depending on the hour, with cruise-morning traffic already figured into the timing. There is a courtesy window of 30 minutes built into the port pickup, so a slow walk-off is nothing to worry about.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
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.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $15.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
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.
Sin correr en el puerto — bajamos del barco y un auto privado y limpio estaba ahí mismo, y directo a Quality Inn Sawgrass – Fort Lauderdale. Muy recomendable.
Mi esposa y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Quality Inn Sawgrass – Fort Lauderdale antes de zarpar. El viaje de la terminal a Quality Inn Sawgrass – Fort Lauderdale fue silencioso y relajado, y pudimos acomodarnos y nada más. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. Muy recomendable.
Con los niños, coordinar un auto privado de la terminal a Quality Inn Sawgrass – Fort Lauderdale significó nada que resolver la mañana del desembarque. La sillita para el niño estaba ya instalada, lo que fue una preocupación menos. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido.
The little ones were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Quality Inn Sawgrass – Fort Lauderdale with no drama. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
Privado, a tiempo, y no tuvimos que preocuparme por nada entre el barco y Quality Inn Sawgrass – Fort Lauderdale. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre junto a las puertas de la terminal, así que ubicamos al conductor al instante.
