From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
The Westin Beach Resort & Spa sits right on the Fort Lauderdale shoreline at 321 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, which means the sand is only steps from the lobby. Plenty of cruise guests trade the ship’s pool deck for real ocean the same afternoon they step off their sailing, and this address makes that easy. When your driver pulls up, you are already where the day begins.
The setting is part of the appeal. Fort Lauderdale is threaded with canals that run from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, which is why the area earned its Venice of America nickname, and the beachfront promenade stretches for miles just outside the resort. It is an easy neighborhood to walk once your bags are dropped, whether you want the water in front of you or the shops and cafes a short stroll away. The Westin Beach Resort & Spa puts you at the center of it.
Arrival is simple. Your driver waits at the main entrance, so there is no wandering a parking lot or dragging luggage across the property to find your ride at the end of the trip. Coming off the ship, the pickup is coordinated by message as you disembark, and every bag is loaded for you at both ends. From the moment you land at the resort, the plan is to hand you off at the door, luggage and all, so the first thing on your list can be the beach rather than logistics. That is the whole point of booking the ride ahead.
This is one clean run north along I-95, from your cruise terminal straight to the door of The Westin Beach Resort & Spa. The trip normally takes 54 to 71 minutes depending on the hour and how heavy traffic sits on I-95, which is the only real variable on the route. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, a slow gangway does not cost you your ride, and the included 30-minute wait window at the port absorbs the usual disembarkation delays.
You are picked up curbside at your own terminal, not sent off to a distant lot, and your driver handles the bags at both ends of the trip. The vehicle is yours alone for the whole drive, so there are no added stops and no strangers along for the route. Fuel, standard tolls, and luggage help are already inside the flat rate, and your driver meets you at the resort’s main entrance when you make the return leg.
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.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
Cruising with the family, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight over to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa was worth every bit. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. Getting to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
We booked one van for the entire crew from the terminal to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa so the whole group stayed together. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port. Made getting off the ship so easy.
The eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa. Booking was simple, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly. The ride from the terminal to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa was quiet and relaxed, and we could just settle in.
Nuestro grupo bajamos del barco juntos y reservamos una van privada de la terminal de cruceros a The Westin Beach Resort & Spa. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, sin nada extra en la acera. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
My husband and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa before we even sailed.
