From $180 per vehicle — a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Lauderhill, with your driver waiting at the cruise terminal curb.
The figure below is one flat price for the entire vehicle rather than a charge per head, and it is fixed the moment you reserve — traffic, demand or the size of your party never move it.
A cruise that stopped at any foreign port sends you through a federal inspection hall before you reach the street, and no driver is permitted inside that area — the vehicle stays at the curb. Send a short WhatsApp message once you have passed the officers and are walking toward the exit, and your driver moves into position at the PortMiami cruise terminal. Meeting you there is part of the booking: the driver finds your group as you come out, takes the heavy cruise bags, and walks you to the vehicle. If you would rather be spotted by a held name card, ask for one in advance and it is added for a small charge. From the doors it is a straight step into a reserved car bound for your Lauderhill address.
Lauderhill is a residential city in central Broward County with a large Caribbean-American community and a calm, suburban feel. Rather than one downtown core, its blocks hold neighborhood parks, golf, a well-known cricket and sports complex, shopping plazas, family restaurants and community centers spread among quiet streets. The city belongs to the wider Fort Lauderdale metro area, so relatives visiting family, business travelers and cruise passengers stretching a trip inland all end up here. A door-to-door transfer sets you down at the precise street address instead of a far-off hub, so tell the driver your building or street when you book. For local services and information you can consult the City of Lauderhill website before you travel.
The run from the port to Lauderhill heads directly north into central Broward, and how long it takes depends mostly on the day and the hour you set out. A quiet off-peak morning moves quickly; weekday rush hours, and above all the heavy disembarkation days when several ships empty at once, thicken the roads around the terminal and slow the first stretch. Your driver knows the port’s rhythm and chooses the clearest way to your street rather than the default line on a map. If a same-day flight or a fixed appointment is waiting, add a cushion and share your target arrival window when you reserve, so the pickup is timed against real conditions instead of a guess. Every fare on this page is a one-way price, and a round journey is simply that figure doubled for the same vehicle.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle or a secure link over WhatsApp, and a 50% deposit locks the booking while the remaining half goes to the driver on the day you ride. The price is per vehicle for the whole group, so a solo traveler and a party of five in the SUV pay the same, and a round trip is double the one-way rate. Tolls, SunPass and fuel already sit inside the fare, and each ride carries onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot. A few extras are priced separately: a held name card at the terminal is $20, a child seat is $15, and an added stop along the way runs $45 per thirty minutes. Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge; a Black SUV starting outside that window adds a $20 night fee within Miami-Dade and Broward. Confirm any of these on WhatsApp before your travel day.
Yes. Every price on this page is set per vehicle, not per person, so the flat figure shown covers the whole group whether one or five travel in the Black SUV. A round trip simply doubles that one-way rate. The number you agree to at booking is the number you pay at the end.
Your driver follows the ship’s real arrival and clearance timing, so a slow customs hall is no problem. The pickup is re-timed at no added cost, and the driver stays in position for your group. You keep the same vehicle and the same rate — a delay never costs you the fare.
Yes. A group of six to nine rides the van for that size, and ten to fourteen passengers travel in the larger van, so an extended family or a group of friends stays together in a single vehicle to Lauderhill. Give the driver your final head count and luggage over WhatsApp and the right van is confirmed.
Alongside Lauderhill, the service reaches the neighboring central Broward towns, among them Plantation, Sunrise, Tamarac and Fort Lauderdale. Share the exact drop-off address on WhatsApp when you book and the vehicle and flat fare for that stop are confirmed back to you.
Reserve your private Port of Miami to Lauderhill transfer at least 24 hours ahead so the vehicle and pickup time can be confirmed. Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your ship name, arrival date, group size and your drop-off address, and the driver, name-card and luggage details are set for the day. Shorter-notice requests are looked at by hand when time allows.
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.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Lauderhill was the smart move. It was only our group in the car — no one else’s stops — which was exactly what we wanted. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone to Lauderhill. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we didn’t have to search for anyone.
Disembarking on my own, I had a driver ready and waiting to head to Lauderhill — no scramble at the port. No scramble at the port — I just stepped out and the car was ready. The ride to Lauderhill was calm and comfortable, climate-controlled, and I could just settle in.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Lauderhill could not have been smoother. No lot to comb through — I just stepped out and the car was ready.
My wife and I wanted a clean handoff at PortMiami, so we booked a private ride to Lauderhill. An easy, low-key handoff for the two of us from the ship to Lauderhill. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
