From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ed Lugo Resort 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.
Ed Lugo Resort sits in North Broward, the stretch of the county where the residential grid of Sunrise, Plantation, and Coral Springs settles into quiet, tree-lined streets. It is a peaceful base well away from the noise of the port, close enough to the western edge of the county to reach the large draws in a short ride, yet tucked into the kind of neighborhood setting where the pace slows down once you arrive.
The region around the resort leans residential and unhurried, which is part of its appeal after a week at sea. Out to the west, Sawgrass Mills pulls in the crowds and the shoppers, while the surrounding towns supply the steady, low-key streets that frame the stay. If sports or a show is on your list, Amerant Bank Arena is one of the closer landmarks, a simple reference point for anyone getting their bearings in this corner of Broward.
Once you have checked in, there is more within reach for the days that follow. The Plantation Historical Museum makes for a small, local outing, and Tradewinds Park gives you green, open space when you desire a break from indoors. Anything about the property itself — rooms, layout, what the stay includes — belongs to Ed Lugo Resort’s own official page; our part is the ground you cover to obtain there. What matters on the way in is simple: a single, direct arrival to the front door, with the rest of North Broward waiting to be explored on your own schedule.
Your chauffeur is organized by message as you clear the terminal on Dodge Island, then meets your group right at the curb. Tell us the cruise line ahead of time and we stage at the exact terminal your ship uses, so there is no wandering the port with bags in hand. The driver loads the luggage, and from there it is one clean leg north — no mid-journey changes, no second pickup, your vehicle and your group only.

The luggage rides with you the whole way, the fare is fixed at booking, and the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock — so the pace of clearing customs never costs you the ride.

With kids in tow, arranging a private car from the port to Ed Lugo Resort meant no scramble on disembarkation morning. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. The kids napped the whole way, and getting straight to Ed Lugo Resort without a scramble at the port was perfect.
For a smooth morning off the ship, my husband and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Ed Lugo Resort. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to Ed Lugo Resort. The fare was set up front, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
