From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Ocean Resort Residences in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
The Ocean Resort Residences sits right on the sand in Fort Lauderdale, at 551 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. This is a beachfront address in the truest sense: step out the door and the Atlantic is in front of you, with the wide oceanfront promenade running for miles in either direction. After days aboard ship, it is an easy place to land, drop your bags, and let the pace slow down.
Fort Lauderdale earned the nickname the Venice of America for good reason. Canals thread the city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, and the shoreline stays close no matter which way you wander. From The Ocean Resort Residences you are set up to make the most of that: the beach itself is at your feet, and the calm rhythm of the waterfront becomes the backdrop of your stay.
There is plenty within reach once you have settled in. Many guests spend their first hours on Fort Lauderdale Beach and along the Riverwalk, both easy to fold into a day. The Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are nearby as well, offering a green, quieter counterpoint to the beachfront. For anything about the property itself, its own official page has the full picture; our job is simply the ride that gets you here from the ship, so you can start your time in Fort Lauderdale without hunting for a car at the terminal curb.
Once you clear disembarkation, your chauffeur is already staged at the terminal, so there is no line to join and no app to open. You are met curbside at your own ship’s terminal, not sent off to a distant parking lot. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle with full help at both ends of the trip, and from there it is a single run north to Fort Lauderdale along I-95.
Plan on roughly 49 to 66 minutes from the terminal to the door of The Ocean Resort Residences, depending on the hour and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the exits, but because your driver waits for you, the wait is theirs rather than yours. The vehicle is exclusively your group’s for the whole ride, with a bilingual chauffeur who knows the port, so you can settle in and let the drive take care of itself.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
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.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Right on schedule, professional, and the driver had the exits down cold. We went from the ship to the front desk of The Ocean Resort Residences with nothing to worry about in between.
I wasn’t going to fight for a ride the morning I disembarked, so I booked a private car from the port to The Ocean Resort Residences. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt in good hands from the terminal all the way to the door of The Ocean Resort Residences.
Took all the worry out of getting off the ship — so easy. The fare was set up front, the same number we were quoted.
No quería jugármela con un transporte la mañana en que desembarqué, así que reservé un auto privado de la terminal a The Ocean Resort Residences. Pasé de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin una sola complicación. Era un auto privado solo para mí — sin nadie a quien esperar — justo lo indicado para esa mañana. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to The Ocean Resort Residences. We went from the ship to the front desk of The Ocean Resort Residences with zero hassle along the way. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
