From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Little Paris Hotel 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.
Little Paris Hotel is a Fort Lauderdale address, set about 31.3 miles by road north of the PortMiami cruise terminals. That puts it in one of South Florida’s easiest coastal towns to settle into after a week at sea, close to the ocean and to the streets most visitors come to see. Whether your sailing has just ended or you are staging a day here before the next leg of a trip, it makes a natural landing point once you clear the gangway.
The setting is the real draw. Fort Lauderdale strings together a wide promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and the galleries and storefronts along Las Olas Boulevard, with the cruise piers of Port Everglades sitting at the town’s southern edge. From a base like Little Paris Hotel you are within reach of all of it, so an afternoon can just as easily mean walking the sand as browsing Las Olas or watching the boats work the river.
Arrival here is meant to be simple. Your driver brings the group to the entrance and carries the bags to the door, so the first thing you do is step inside rather than wrestle luggage off a curb. Drop the bags, and the water is an easy move from there for anyone who wants a beach afternoon before the day winds down. It is the kind of place that lets a long travel day end quietly, in a town built for exactly that.
Once your group clears the terminal exit on Dodge Island, the car is already staged at the curb for your ship’s actual arrival, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in for the walk off the vessel. The chauffeur loads every bag, and the group rides together in a vehicle held for your party alone. It is a single one-way run at a locked flat rate, tolls and fuel included, so nothing is added on the day.
Plan on roughly 31.3 miles and about 54 to 71 minutes from the terminal to the hotel door, depending on traffic and the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, when thousands of passengers disembark at once, so the pickup is timed to your real disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, and that traffic is already priced into the plan. The driver handles the route and the luggage while your group settles in for the drive north.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Reservamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Little Paris Hotel para que nadie se quedara atrás.
We came off the ship tired but happy and a driver already waiting to take us to Little Paris Hotel set the tone for the rest of the trip. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb. The ride from the terminal to Little Paris Hotel was smooth and steady, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
I was cruising on my own and booked a private car to meet me at the terminal curb once the ship docked and take me right over to Little Paris Hotel. Getting to Little Paris Hotel with no detours meant I could drop the bags and start the day. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Little Paris Hotel, it was money well spent.
We weren’t about to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Little Paris Hotel. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
As a solo cruiser I pre-booked a private transfer from PortMiami to Little Paris Hotel for disembarkation morning, and it took all the guesswork out of it. The driver took care of every bag so I didn’t have to lift a thing. I’ve already earmarked them for my next cruise out of PortMiami.
