From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart is an apartment-style stay in Fort Lauderdale, the kind of base that gives you a room to settle into rather than just a bed for the night. It sits in a city built around the water, close to the galleries and cafes of Las Olas Boulevard, so the address puts culture, coastline, and an easy pace all within reach the moment you step out the door.
Fort Lauderdale layers a promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and the Las Olas art scene into a compact, walkable stretch, with the Port Everglades cruise piers anchoring its southern edge. The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart lands you in the middle of that mix, where a morning by the sand, an afternoon along the river, and an evening among the boulevard’s galleries all sit a short stroll apart. It is the coastal counterpart to a cruise embarkation, close enough to the piers to feel connected yet quiet enough to feel like a real break.
Arriving after a sailing, the appeal is simple: drop the bags in your apartment and walk toward the water. With the beach promenade and the New River both nearby, you can trade the ship’s rhythm for Fort Lauderdale’s at your own speed. Whether you are winding down after a cruise or setting up for a few days ashore, the property gives your group space to spread out and a location that keeps the best of the city an easy walk away.
Once your group clears the terminal exit, the car is already staged at the curb. Your chauffeur handles the bags, loads them into the vehicle, and points north on I-95 for a single, direct leg to Fort Lauderdale. There is no shuffling between stops and no meter running while you wait; the luggage rides with you the whole way, and the vehicle is yours alone from the pier to the property entrance.
Plan on roughly 51 to 68 minutes between the Port of Miami and The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart, depending on the hour you disembark. Cruise mornings stack up fast at the terminal, so your driver is in place before you finish walking out, which means the wait is theirs, not yours. The route stays on I-95 the whole way, and you are dropped right at the hotel entrance with the bags carried to the door.
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.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
Los dos reservamos un traslado privado para la mañana del desembarque y así no preocuparnos por los tiempos camino a The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido. Llegar a The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart sin vueltas significó que pudimos hacer el check-in y por fin darnos una ducha tras la semana en el mar.
No quería jugármela con un transporte la mañana en que desembarqué, así que coordiné un auto privado del puerto a The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart. Tenía los datos del conductor con anticipación, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. Llegar a The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart directo desde la terminal significó que pude hacer el check-in y por fin darme una ducha tras la semana en el mar. Sin estrés alguno.
My wife and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart before we even sailed. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart, it was absolutely worth booking. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje hasta The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart hizo la mañana fácil. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — un alivio tras una semana a bordo.
Desembarcando solo, tenía un conductor ya en la acera para el viaje a The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart — sin complicaciones. El conductor me dejó directo frente a The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart, y no del otro lado de la calle. Bajando del barco por mi cuenta, me sentí muy a gusto desde la terminal hasta la puerta de The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart.
