From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to North Beach Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
North Beach Hotel sits up in Fort Lauderdale, the coastal city that opens up once you leave PortMiami behind. Fort Lauderdale earned the name the Venice of America for a reason — canals thread through it from Las Olas all the way out to the Intracoastal, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles along the water. The hotel puts you close to that rhythm, a base for the beach, the waterways, and the easy pace that draws travelers north after a cruise.
When your ride pulls up, the chauffeur brings you right to the main entrance and handles the bags from the vehicle to the door, so the last stretch of the trip asks nothing of you. There is no second leg to sort out and no curb to hunt for — you step out at North Beach Hotel with your luggage already in hand. After the shuffle of disembarkation and the drive up, a door-to-door finish is the part of the day that simply works.
From there, the hotel side takes over. North Beach Hotel handles the arrival details that matter after a long travel day — amenities on hand, a luggage hold if your room is not ready, and early check-in when it can be arranged, all covered on the hotel’s own page. If you land ahead of your check-in window, that flexibility lets you drop your bags and start on the beach or the promenade rather than waiting on a key. It is a straightforward welcome to the Fort Lauderdale coast, one address and one clear stop.
Book the ride before you dock and the hard part of the morning takes care of itself. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, coordinated by message as you walk off the ship, so the wait belongs to the driver and not to you. The bags go in at the curb, the doors close, and the vehicle heads north as a single direct leg — your group only, no shared seats and no added stops along the way.
Plan on roughly 55 to 72 minutes from the terminal to the door at North Beach Hotel, depending on the hour and the traffic. Cruise mornings stack up fast at the port exits, but the included wait window absorbs the slow gangways and the luggage hall, so the schedule bends around your ship rather than the other way around. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and the next thing you see is the main entrance of the hotel.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
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.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
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.
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 pudo ser más simple — recibidos en la acera, equipaje resuelto, y un traslado fácil hasta North Beach Hotel. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin estrés alguno.
Walking off the ship on my own, the last thing I wanted was to drag my bags around looking for a ride at the port, so I had a private car booked ahead for the run to North Beach Hotel. I went from the ship to the front desk of North Beach Hotel with no stress at all.
Auto limpio, sin esperas, y un conductor que manejó la terminal como un experto. Recomendado. El van estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, con lugar para todo.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, zero hassle from the terminal to North Beach Hotel. Recommend it without hesitation.
Traslado tranquilo, tarifa fija, sin sorpresas de la terminal a North Beach Hotel. Lo reservaría de nuevo.
