From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Couples Resorts 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Couples Resorts sits out in West Broward, on the western edge of the metro where the suburbs offer way to open land near the Everglades. This is family-community country, laid out along the I-75 corridor and only a short hop from the outlet halls at Sawgrass Mills. It is a quieter, more spread-out part of the region than the coast, with broad roads and simple approaches, which makes for a peaceful end to a travel day that started on a cruise ship.
After a long sailing and the shuffle of disembarkation, the last thing most travelers desire is to figure out the roads on their own. That is the appeal of coming out here by private car: your driver knows the western suburbs and the streets around your stay, so the ride runs straight from the terminal to the front of Couples Resorts without you touching a map. West Broward’s grid is simple to navigate when someone else is doing the driving, and the drop-off lands right where you require it.
When you pull up, look for your chauffeur at the main entrance. The bags come out of the vehicle at the curb, the same driver who met you at the port sees you the whole way through, and there is no second leg to arrange. For groups mixing a resort stay with a run to Sawgrass Mills or a day toward the Everglades, having your own vehicle and driver from the start keeps the whole trip on one plan rather than a patchwork of separate rides.
Plan on roughly 38 to 55 minutes between the Port of Miami and Couples Resorts, depending on the hour and how heavy the traffic runs that day. The pickup is built around your ship’s actual arrival, not a fixed slot, with an included 60-minute wait window that soaks up the slow gangway, customs, and the luggage hall. You walk off, message the driver, and the vehicle is already staged for you.
From the terminal on Dodge Island it is one direct leg out to West Broward, no shared stops and no detours. Your chauffeur loads every bag at the port curb, drives your group straight to the resort, and unloads again at the main entrance. Fuel, typical tolls, and luggage assist are all inside the flat fare, so the number you booked is the number you pay when Couples Resorts comes into view.
