From $160 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ac Hotel Sawgrass Mills 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.
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.
AC Hotel Sawgrass Mills sits inland in North Broward, in the leafy, suburban stretch that ties together Plantation, Sunrise, and Coral Springs. This is the quieter, greener side of the region, away from the coast, and the hotel keeps you close to the two landmarks that anchor the area. The first is Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet-shopping complexes anywhere neighboring, with row after row of stores. The second, right alongside it, is Amerant Bank Arena, the home rink of the Florida Panthers.
Step outside and the neighborhood stays simple to explore. The Plantation Historical Museum is close by for a look at how this corner of North Broward grew, and Tradewinds Park offers open green space when you desire a break from shopping and arena crowds. The mix of big outlets, a main sports venue, quiet parks, and a local museum makes the area a comfortable base, whether your days are built around retail, a game, or merely resting between cruise legs.
The hotel side of your stay — the on-site amenities, luggage holds for early or late arrivals, and early check-in when it is available — is spelled out on Ac Hotel Sawgrass Mills’s own official page, so you can confirm the specifics that matter to your group. Our part is getting you there cleanly: the drop-off covers North Broward and the residential streets right around your address, so you are set down at the door rather than left at a neighboring corner. Reach off the ship, and the drive delivers you straight into this inland pocket of Broward, bags and all.
After you disembark at PortMiami, your driver is already coordinated by message and waiting at the curb of your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island. There is no shared vehicle and no line to stand in — the SUV or van is reserved for your party alone. The chauffeur handles the bags from the terminal curb, loads them into the vehicle, and you settle in for a single, direct leg to Ac Hotel Sawgrass Mills.
From the port the route runs out along Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, carrying you roughly 33 miles inland to North Broward. It is one continuous run — no transfers, no detours unless you have arranged them in advance — and tolls and fuel are already built into the fare. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, which keeps the plan steady even when thousands of passengers step off the ships at once.
