From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
The Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale sits right on the coast at 303 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, putting your room within a short walk of the sand. This is a beachfront address on the ocean side of the barrier island, where the water is the first thing you see and the promenade runs the length of the shore. After days at sea, the appeal is plain: you step out of the car, hand off the bags, and the beach is already there in front of you.
Beyond the sand, the neighborhood gives you plenty of reasons to stay put. Las Olas Boulevard, with its galleries and storefronts, is an easy trip from the resort, and the Riverwalk traces the yacht-lined New River through the heart of downtown. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park offers a green pocket close by for anyone who wants a quieter stretch of Fort Lauderdale. To the south, Port Everglades and its cruise piers mark the edge of the city, a useful landmark if your itinerary loops back toward another sailing.
Fort Lauderdale layers all of this together — a beach promenade, a working waterfront, and a downtown you can reach without much fuss — and the Westin puts you at the coastal end of it. Arriving from the ship, the natural first move is a beach afternoon: drop everything at the resort and walk to the water. For rooms, parking, and check-in specifics, the property itself is the best source.
Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur is staged at the curb — no parking lot, no luggage scramble on the sidewalk. Every bag goes into the vehicle you have to yourselves, and the run north follows I-95 in one clean stretch. It covers about 31.3 miles and ends at the door of the Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale, so there is no second stop to slow you down.
Plan on roughly 54 to 70 minutes terminal to door, depending on how I-95 is moving. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, the wait is built around you, with courtesy time included after you dock. Leaving for a later sailing, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads the bags before the drive back south.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
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.
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.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.

Coordinamos una sola van para todo el grupo de la terminal a Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale para que nadie se quedara atrás. Reservar fue rápido, recibimos una confirmación sólida, y todo calzó perfecto.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale was the smart move. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. No scramble at the port — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds getting over to Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale.
My husband and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale. We were dropped right at the front door of Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale, not down the block. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
