From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston 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.
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 Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston stands at 2605 Weston Road in Weston, zip 33331, out in the western suburbs of Broward County. This is the quiet edge of the county, where family neighborhoods spread along I-75 and the land begins its slow reach toward the Everglades. As an extended-stay address, it suits travelers who want room to spread out after a cruise, a base for a night or a longer stopover before the next leg of the trip.
Weston is one of West Broward’s planned communities, built around wide roads and green space rather than crowds. Step out from the hotel and the outlet halls of Sawgrass Mills sit only minutes away, a sprawling place to shop and eat when you have hours to fill. The setting is residential and calm, the kind of neighborhood where the pace slows the moment you turn off the highway. For a group coming straight off a ship, that quiet is a real change from the port.
If you linger in the area, there is more within easy reach. Hard Rock Stadium draws crowds for games and concerts, while Flamingo Gardens and the Everglades levee sit close by in West Broward for anyone who wants a taste of the wild edge of South Florida. Anything about the stay itself, the rooms and the front desk, belongs to the hotel; our part is getting your group to that Weston Road door in one clean run.
The ride starts the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival, meets you at the curb of your cruise line’s own terminal, and loads every bag into the vehicle so no one wrestles luggage across the port. From there it is one direct leg: the chauffeur takes I-75 and the Palmetto Expressway and runs straight to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston with no stops in between.
Plan on roughly 46 to 61 minutes from the terminal to the door, depending on how the highways are moving. Weekend cruise mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed clock, and the traffic is already built into the plan. One group rides per vehicle, the fare is locked at booking, and the trip ends at the Weston Road entrance.
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.
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.
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.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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 eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston with no drama. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal. The car seat was set up before we even walked out, which was a real help that morning.
On time, professional, and the driver knew the terminal perfectly. The kids napped the whole way, and getting straight to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston without a scramble at the port was a relief.
No app hassle — we walked off the ship and the car was right there, then straight to Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston. Would book again. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb.
Todo salió a tiempo de la acera de la terminal hasta la puerta de Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Weston — sin ninguna queja. Sin recorrer un estacionamiento — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
