From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise 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.
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.
La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise is a straightforward hotel stay set in the inland reaches of North Broward, roughly 32 road miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. Sunrise is a suburban, green corner of South Florida, quieter than the coast and built around wide roads, shopping, and parkland rather than beachfront. After a cruise, it works as a calm place to land for a night or two before flying out or heading home.
The area around the hotel gives you plenty of reasons to stay put. Sawgrass Mills, one of the region’s largest outlet complexes, anchors the neighborhood, and Amerant Bank Arena — home ice for the Florida Panthers — sits within easy reach for a game or a concert. History and open space are close by too: the Plantation Historical Museum, the trails of Tradewinds Park, and Everglades Holiday Park on the edge of the wetlands are all part of the North Broward map surrounding your stay.
When you arrive, you are firmly in suburban Broward — Plantation, Sunrise, and Coral Springs form a low-rise, easy-to-navigate cluster of neighborhoods with the outlets and the arena as the main landmarks. For the specifics of your room, parking, and check-in, the property itself is the place to confirm those details. What we handle is getting you there directly from the ship, so the first thing you do off the cruise is settle in rather than sort out a ride.
The trip from the cruise terminal to La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise runs about 32 miles and takes roughly 48 to 64 minutes, depending on the hour and the traffic. Your chauffeur takes Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, so the run inland to Sunrise is a single, direct leg — no transfers and no detours to collect other passengers.
Pickup happens right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Your driver is staged before you clear the arrivals hall, so the waiting is theirs, not yours. Bags go straight from the terminal curb into the vehicle, and the same help meets you at the hotel door. Book the reverse leg for embarkation day at the same flat rate and the pickup is timed around your ship.
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.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
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.
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.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
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.
Con los pequeños, reservar un auto privado del puerto a La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise significó nada que resolver la mañana del desembarque. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado esperándonos en la terminal para el viaje hasta La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise fue lo mejor del día. El viaje de la terminal a La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise fue tranquilo y parejo, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. Para llegar del barco a La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise sin estrés, fue dinero bien gastado.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise with no drama. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard.
I didn’t feel like chasing a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I reserved a private car from the port to La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so I never had to rush off the ship. No line to stand in — I just stepped out and the car was ready.
Para un desembarque sin estrés, mi pareja y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a La Quinta Inn & Suites Sunrise. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre en la salida, así que ubicamos al conductor al instante.
