From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Executive Economy Lodge 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.
Executive Economy Lodge sits up in north Broward County, in the Pompano and Deerfield Beach region, well clear of the busy core around the cruise terminals. After a sailing it makes a simple place to land — a room to unpack in and a quiet base within short reach of the coast. Rooms, parking, and check-in details are best confirmed on the property’s own official page before you travel, since those specifics come straight from the lodge itself.
The setting is much of the appeal. Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach share renovated piers, peaceful family beaches, and a fishing culture that has never left this stretch of the north Broward coast. It reads more as a working neighborhood than a resort strip, with the water as the main event and the pace slowing down as soon as you are off the ship and away from the port.
There is plenty within reach once you have settled in. The Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier both sit nearby, either one good for a first walk after a week at sea. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater and Quiet Waters Park fill out the region for anyone staying on a few days. Whatever draws you this far north, your ride finishes right at the door of Executive Economy Lodge, bags and all, and the only thing left is to step inside and check in.
The trip runs about 37 miles from the cruise terminal to Executive Economy Lodge, roughly 58 to 74 minutes along I-95 depending on how the traffic sits. Your driver is staged at your ship’s terminal before you clear the exit, so once your group walks out with the luggage, the vehicle is already waiting at the curb.
From there it is one straight run north — no transfers, no detours you did not ask for. Your bags go in the vehicle, the party rides together, and the drive ends right at the entrance of Executive Economy Lodge. The morning crush at the terminal exits works itself out while you ride, and the wait at the pier is the driver’s, not yours.

Our whole group booked one van straight from the port to Executive Economy Lodge, and it worked out great. There was space to spare for the whole group and everyone’s bags in one van to Executive Economy Lodge.
Walking off the ship by myself, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to Executive Economy Lodge. I went from the ship to the front desk of Executive Economy Lodge with nothing to worry about in between.
Mi esposo y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Executive Economy Lodge antes de zarpar. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — del barco a la puerta del hotel sin estrés. El conductor nos dejó en la entrada de Executive Economy Lodge, y no del otro lado de la calle. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
We got off the ship with the kids worn out after the cruise, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Executive Economy Lodge painless. The kids crashed in the car, and getting straight to Executive Economy Lodge without a scramble at the port was a relief.
With kids in tow, pre-booking a private car from the terminal to Executive Economy Lodge meant no stress on disembarkation morning. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
