From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel places you in the Fort Lauderdale area, a stretch of South Florida shaped by water. Canals thread the city from Las Olas all the way to the Intracoastal, the reason locals call it the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles. It is an easy base after a cruise, close to the water and to the parts of Fort Lauderdale most travelers actually want to see.
Step out and you are within reach of the things that make this corner of the coast worth the trip. Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are the usual first stops once guests are ashore, with the historic Bonnet House and its grounds nearby for a slower afternoon. Port Everglades sits close as well, handy if your plans include another sailing or a day around the harbor. The hotel keeps you near all of it without putting you in the middle of the crowds.
When your ride pulls up, look for your driver at the main entrance. There is no wandering a strange lobby or hunting for a desk with your bags in tow. The chauffeur handles the luggage at the curb and sees you to the door, so the first minutes at Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel are spent checking in and unwinding rather than sorting out logistics. It is a quiet, personal finish to a long travel day, and the same care carries through if you book the return leg back to the ship.
The trip is a single private leg from the cruise terminal to the front door of Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel. As you walk off the ship, your driver is already staged and confirms the meeting point by message, so you head straight to the vehicle instead of joining the exit crush. Disembarkation mornings back up fast, but the wait is the driver’s, not yours. Bags go into the vehicle at the terminal curb, and the route runs up I-95 as one direct leg north.
The vehicle is yours alone for the whole ride, with no strangers and no extra stops. A bilingual chauffeur handles the luggage at both ends and knows the port well. Because the pickup is timed to your ship rather than to app availability, a 30-minute wait window is built in to absorb a slow gangway or a late clearing hall, and you are dropped right at the hotel entrance.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
My partner and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel. An easy, smooth handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel with nothing left to sort out. We went from the terminal to a real bed with no stress at all.
Tras el crucero, mi esposo y yo no queríamos andar buscando un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado del puerto a Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel. Llegar a Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel sin vueltas significó que pude dejar las maletas y arrancar el día.
Los pequeños estaban medio dormidos cuando bajamos, y una van privada ya en la acera llevó a todos a Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel sin dramas. El viaje de la terminal a Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel fue fácil todo el camino, y pudimos ver pasar la ciudad. Reservar fue simple, recibimos los datos de recogida claros, y todo calzó perfecto.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel was the smart move. There was room for everyone for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to Sunrise Beach Inn Hotel.
