From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale places you in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, a coastal city that gathers a long promenade beach, a yacht-lined New River, and the gallery-dotted length of Las Olas Boulevard into one compact stretch. The hotel shares its name with that boulevard, so the walkable core of shops, restaurants, and art spaces the city is known for opens up right around your stay.
Step outside and the city arranges itself for easy exploring. Las Olas Boulevard runs its line of galleries close at hand, the New River carries its parade of yachts through the middle of town, and the wide promenade of Fort Lauderdale Beach traces the Atlantic a short way off. The Riverwalk threads the riverbank on foot, linking the water to the shops and giving you a natural loop to wander once the bags are set down.
What you find on arrival is a base that works for whatever comes next. With Fort Lauderdale sitting right on the coast, a beach afternoon after a cruise is the natural move — drop your things at the hotel and walk toward the water. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park sits nearby for a greener hour, and the cruise piers of Port Everglades lie at the city’s southern edge, so a stay here keeps you close to the sea from every direction. Anything about the stay itself belongs to the hotel’s own team; getting you here from the ship is the part we handle, door to lobby.
Book the ride before you dock and stepping off the ship becomes the simple part. Your driver is coordinated by message as you clear the terminal hall and meets your group at the curb of your ship’s own terminal — not a distant parking lot. Every bag goes into the vehicle at the pier, and from there it is a single, direct leg up I-95 to Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale, no stops along the way.
The run covers about 28.3 miles and normally takes 47 to 63 minutes, terminal curb to hotel lobby, depending on traffic and the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, with thousands of passengers walking off at once, so your pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, and the wait windows built into every booking mean the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
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.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $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.
No quería jugármela con un transporte la mañana en que desembarqué, así que coordiné un auto privado de la terminal a Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale. Había un cartel con mi nombre junto a las puertas de la terminal, así que ubiqué al conductor al instante. El viaje de la terminal a Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale fue cómodo y sin apuros, y pude relajarme tras el crucero. Muy recomendable.
The perfect end to the cruise — private, on time, and easy. The driver handled the suitcases so I didn’t have to lift a thing.
We booked one van for the whole group from the terminal to Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale so the whole group stayed together. We went from the ship to the front desk of Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale with nothing to worry about in between. Getting to Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale with no detours meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
My husband and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale, it was well worth it.
We got off the ship with the little ones and a mountain of luggage, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale painless. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
