From $185 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Shore Haven Resort Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Shore Haven Resort Inn sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a genuine beach village on the South Florida coast rather than a high-rise strip. It keeps the low-rise, small-inn feel of the town around it, so you step out of the car into a walkable, sea-facing pocket instead of a wall of towers. For the exact details on rooms, parking, and check-in, the property’s own official page is the place to confirm those specifics belong to the hotel, not to the ride.
The village setting is the real draw here. Anglin’s Fishing Pier is one of the local landmarks, and Datura Avenue runs through the heart of town with the everyday shops and cafes you would expect from a coastal community. El Prado Park is close by for a quieter stretch of green, and the shore-dive reef gives Lauderdale-by-the-Sea something few beaches can claim: a living coral reef you can snorkel straight off the sand, no boat required.
Because the town sits so close to the water, dropping your bags at Shore Haven Resort Inn and walking to the beach is the natural first move after a cruise. Guests who land here often work in Anglin’s Pier and a wander down Datura Avenue on the same afternoon, with the reef and El Prado Park within easy reach. It is the kind of place where the pace slows the moment you arrive, and where a beach hour before you have even unpacked feels entirely reasonable.
Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, timed to your ship’s actual disembarkation rather than a fixed slot. There is a half hour of free waiting built in, so a slow customs line never costs you the ride. The bags go straight from the terminal curb into the vehicle you booked, and the car is yours alone for the run north with no other groups and no detours.
From the port the route runs up I-95 in a single, direct leg to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The drive covers roughly 34.8 miles door to terminal, and terminal curb to hotel door usually takes 58 to 73 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Tolls and fuel are already in the flat price, so nothing is added on the day.
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.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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 black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
All of us walked off together and it was so easy to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Shore Haven Resort Inn — everyone in one vehicle. The ride from the terminal to Shore Haven Resort Inn was calm and comfortable, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
A group of us came off the ship together and booked one private van from the cruise terminal to Shore Haven Resort Inn.
For a stress-free disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Shore Haven Resort Inn. We were dropped at the entrance of Shore Haven Resort Inn, not on a corner with the bags. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was reliable and on time.
The painless way to get from the ship to Shore Haven Resort Inn. Couldn’t recommend it more.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready for a nap, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Shore Haven Resort Inn painless. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. Highly recommend.
