From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to El-Ad Residences At Miramar 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
El-Ad Residences At Miramar is a residential address out in the western suburbs, in the part of West Broward where the neighborhoods run quietly toward the edge of the Everglades. This is a place people come home to rather than a landmark to tour: family streets shaped around the I-75 corridor, with the everyday conveniences of the suburbs close at hand. Coming off a ship, you trade the crowded terminal for calmer, greener ground — the kind of arrival that feels like settling in rather than sightseeing.
The setting keeps plenty within easy reach. The Sawgrass Mills outlet halls sit only minutes away, so a shopping afternoon is simple to fold into the stay. Hard Rock Stadium is also close for anyone timing a visit around a game or a concert. For a slower pace, Flamingo Gardens and the Everglades levee are neighboring in West Broward, giving you open sky, walking paths, and a real sense of the wetlands that define this corner of South Florida.
What you find on arrival is a straightforward residential community rather than a resort strip — a relaxing base tucked among family communities, well away from the bustle of the port. Your chauffeur brings you directly to the address, so there is no shuttle line to join and no dragging bags across a hectic lobby. If your plans later include a run to MIA or FLL, that leg can be arranged on the same flat pricing, which makes El-Ad Residences At Miramar an easy anchor point for the rest of a South Florida itinerary.
The trip runs door to door from your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island out to El-Ad Residences At Miramar — about 21.3 miles, and roughly 39 to 56 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur is staged at the curb before your group clears the exit hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and from the pier it is one direct run along I-95 west into the suburbs, with no transfers and no second pickup to slow the day.
Disembarkation mornings stack up speedy at the terminal exits, which is why every booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port. Self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour, and checked-luggage groups a little later, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride. The vehicle is yours alone — one group, one flat fare locked at booking — with luggage assist at both ends and a bilingual chauffeur who knows the port.
