From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Edition Residences Fort Lauderdale in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Edition Residences Fort Lauderdale sits inside Fort Lauderdale, the coastal city that stitches together a promenade beach, a yacht-lined New River, and the galleries of Las Olas Boulevard. This is your home base for the stay, and the moment you step out of the vehicle the rest of the city is within easy reach. You have come off the ship and up the coast, and now the day belongs to you rather than to the terminal lines behind you.
What draws people here is how much of Fort Lauderdale lands within a short radius. Las Olas Boulevard runs close by, lined with galleries and places to slow down for an afternoon. The New River threads through the heart of it, boats moving along the water, while the beach and its promenade wait a little farther east. Guests who arrive by cruise tend to fold these into their first hours ashore, treating the residence as the fixed point they set out from and return to.
The wider setting adds a few more names worth knowing. The Bonnet House is neighboring, a quieter stop for anyone who wants gardens and grounds over crowds. Port Everglades and its cruise piers mark the city’s southern edge, so the water is never far in any direction. Anything about the residence itself — the rooms, the amenities, the front desk — is handled by the property; our part is getting you here cleanly with your luggage. Once you have checked in, Fort Lauderdale is small enough to discover on foot and varied enough to fill however long you stay.
Book the car before you dock and disembarkation turns simple. Your reserved SUV is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, waiting before you clear the arrivals hall, so the wait is the driver’s rather than yours. The chauffeur takes the bags at the curb, loads them into the vehicle, and points north toward Fort Lauderdale. There are no shared stops and no detours — it is your group, your vehicle, and one direct run to Edition Residences Fort Lauderdale.
The route follows I-95 for a single, straight leg up the coast. Plan on roughly 55 to 73 minutes terminal to door, quicker in quiet hours and longer through rush-hour traffic. Fuel, typical tolls, and luggage assist all ride inside the flat fare, so nothing changes on the day. When you are ready to reverse it on embarkation morning, the same one-way rate covers the journey back to the ship, timed around your sailing.
