From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Sheridan Ocean Club sits in the stretch of Hallandale and Dania Beach, the pair of communities just south of Fort Lauderdale’s airport. It is a quiet residential address a short reach from the coast, so the trip up from the ship ends at a calm, settled corner of South Florida rather than a busy downtown. Your driver runs straight to the door and sets the bags at the curb beside you.
The area around Sheridan Ocean Club mixes a few different moods. There are casinos and the design center known as DCOTA, the Design Center of the Americas, alongside quiet state-park beaches that stay easy even in season. Once you have dropped your bags, the neighborhood gives you room to unwind close by, and the water is never far when you want a slow morning by the sand.
Guests staying here often fill their first day ashore without going far. Gulfstream Park and Dania Pointe are the usual picks for shopping, dining, and a bit of energy after the cruise, while the Dania Beach Fishing Pier gives you an easy walk over the water. The DCOTA design center rounds out the nearby options for anyone who likes to browse. It all keeps Sheridan Ocean Club well placed: private and low-key where you sleep, with plenty within reach the moment you feel like moving. Tell us the exact address at booking and the ride is planned end to end, one group in the vehicle and no shared stops along the way.
Book before you dock and disembarkation turns into the easy part of the day. Your driver is staged at the terminal on Dodge Island ahead of your group, coordinated by message as you clear the exit hall, so the wait belongs to the chauffeur and not to you. The car is reserved for your party alone, bags loaded at the curb and carried again at the other end, with no other pickups folded into the run.
From the port the route follows I-95 straight to Sheridan Ocean Club, a hop of about 22.7 miles that normally takes 42 to 59 minutes depending on how the morning traffic moves. There are no stops between the ship and the door. Cruise-morning exits can stack up fast, but because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival, the drive stays smooth and the group travels together the whole way.
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.
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.
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.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale. We were dropped at the entrance of Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale, not down the block.
Todo salió según lo planeado de la acera de la terminal hasta la puerta de Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale — tal cual lo prometido.
I was cruising solo and arranged a private car to meet me at the cruise terminal once the ship docked and take me right over to Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt looked after from the terminal all the way to the door of Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale.
Coordinamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale para que nadie se quedara atrás.
Getting a big group off the ship and over to Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. The fare was set up front, the same number we were quoted. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
