From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Avid Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport – Cruise in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Avid Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport – Cruise is a straightforward place to land after a sailing, set just south of Fort Lauderdale’s airport in the Dania Beach and Hallandale corner of the coast. It keeps you close to the water and to the airport at once, which is exactly what most cruise travelers desire on the day they step off the ship. Your ride ends at the hotel door, luggage carried in, so the first thing you do here is drop your bags and breathe.
The region around it mixes a few distinct moods. There are casinos for an easy evening, the DCOTA design center for anyone who likes to browse, and quiet state-park beaches when you desire sand without a crowd. Dania Beach and Hallandale sit far enough south of the busier stretches to feel peaceful, yet everything stays within short reach. It is the kind of neighborhood where you can do a lot or very little, and both feel right.
Top of all, the shoreline is only steps away. Plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking out to the beach while the rest of the day is still wide open. If your cruise ends in the morning and your next plans are hours off, you have a relaxing door to settle behind and a coastline right outside it. That balance — close to the water, close to the airport — is what makes this a natural stop after the port.
Once your ship clears and you step off, the day gets simple. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you finish walking the luggage hall, meeting you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses. Bags go straight into the vehicle, you settle in, and the run to Avid Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport – Cruise begins with no stops and no strangers sharing the seats.
From the pier it is one clean run along I-95, usually about 41 to 57 minutes terminal to door depending on the hour and the traffic. The driver handles the route while you unwind, and the journey ends at the hotel entrance with full luggage assist at the curb. Fuel and typical tolls already sit inside the flat fare, so nothing changes hands along the way except a warm arrival.
