From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Barley House Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Barley House Hotel carries the Trademark Collection by Wyndham badge, a family of independent properties that keep their own character while backing it with a name travelers recognize. It sits in Fort Lauderdale, the coastal city just up the road from PortMiami, so a cruise ending on Dodge Island lands you a short drive from the front doors. For anything about the stay itself, the hotel’s own Wyndham page is the place to look; getting you there in one private ride is our part.
The setting is one of the easier parts of Fort Lauderdale to enjoy on foot once you have checked in. Las Olas Boulevard, with its galleries and small storefronts, is close by, and the yacht-lined New River threads through the same district. Fort Lauderdale Beach and its promenade sit within reach, and the Riverwalk gives you a green, water-facing path to wander when the cruise legs need stretching.
Because the city’s cruise piers at Port Everglades sit at its southern edge, Barley House works well as a base whether you are winding down after a Miami sailing or lining up your next one from Fort Lauderdale. When you step out of the lobby you find a walkable pocket of the city rather than a highway strip, with the beach, the river, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park all part of the same neighborhood. It is a comfortable place to arrive tired and travel-worn, with plenty to do once you have set the bags down.
The trip is door-to-door and reserved for your group alone. Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s actual arrival, so once you clear the terminal on Dodge Island you send a message and meet at the curb rather than hunting for a ride. Every bag goes into the vehicle with a hand from the driver, lobby to curb, and you settle in for the run north to Fort Lauderdale.
From PortMiami the driver heads up to Barley House Hotel and pulls in right at the entrance, bags carried out beside you. The rate is flat and agreed before you travel, with fuel and standard tolls already covered, and a courtesy wait window built in so the pace of customs never costs you the ride. Booking the reverse leg for embarkation day works the same way, each pickup planned around your ship.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $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.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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.
Privado, puntual y sin estrés — mucho mejor que pelear por un transporte afuera de la terminal. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin estrés alguno.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje hasta Barley House Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham hizo la mañana fácil. El van estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, con lugar para todo.
Coming down the gangway on my own, the last thing I wanted was to stand in a taxi line at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to Barley House Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham.
Easy ride, fixed fare, no surprises from the terminal to Barley House Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham. Would book again. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Barley House Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham, it was money well spent.
For a stress-free disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Barley House Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham. Getting to Barley House Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham first thing meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. There was a sign with our name at the exit, so we didn’t have to look around.
