From $130 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Fairfield Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Pembroke Pines Hotel covers 23.3 miles (37.4 km) in about 48–59 minutes door to door, at a flat rate. You ride in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, met curbside the moment you exit the cruise terminal.
Fares are per vehicle, locked at booking — pick the tier that fits your cruise party.
A pre-booked private vehicle is the most direct way to cover this 23.3-mile route. Select the black SUV for parties up to five, the mid-size van for six to nine, or the large van for ten to fourteen. After you clear customs and collect your bags, walk out of the cruise terminal to the curb, where your driver is already waiting for your group — request a name sign over WhatsApp ahead of time and it will be held up at arrivals. There is ample room inside for cruise luggage, so no one squeezes around suitcases. From the terminal the driver heads straight north to Pembroke Pines and drops you at the hotel entrance, with no extra stops and no other passengers sharing the ride. Booking ahead means the vehicle and fare are reserved before your ship even docks, so you step off the gangway into a car that is already yours.
This is a private, door-to-door service built around cruise schedules rather than a meter. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone — never pooled with strangers — and the price you agree to at booking is the price you pay, with nothing added for traffic or demand. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English and Spanish, which smooths the handoff right at a busy terminal. We track ship arrival times, so a late dock merely re-times your pickup at no charge instead of forfeiting a car. Communication runs through direct WhatsApp, so you can reach your driver before and during the journey without a call center in between. For passengers stepping off a long sailing with luggage and a family in tow, that combination of a guaranteed vehicle, a fixed fare, and a real person waiting at the curb is what makes the arrival seamless.
The drive covers 23.3 miles (37.4 km) and takes roughly 48 minutes in light traffic, rising to about 59 minutes during peak periods. The route runs largely on the I-95 EXPR express lanes and the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike, the two fastest corridors linking the port area to western Broward County. Mid-morning, when several ships disembark at once, the approach roads around the terminal fill up and the run leans toward the upper end of that variety; an early-afternoon departure commonly lands near 48 minutes. Tolls on the express and turnpike segments are already built into your rate, so the driver moves through them without stopping or asking for cash. Plan the reduced number for an off-peak ride and the higher number on a busy weekend turnaround day so your onward schedule has a little cushion.
Fairfield Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Pembroke Pines sits in western Broward County, between downtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale, which makes it a practical base for travelers splitting time across South Florida. The area is residential and suburban, lined with shopping plazas, chain and local dining, and easy highway access in every direction — handy for a pre-cruise overnight or a post-cruise stay before a flight out of either Fort Lauderdale or Miami. The hotel itself offers the typical Fairfield amenities for a relaxing turnaround night after disembarking.

The driver waits curbside at your cruise terminal and meets your group as you exit with your luggage. Send your ship and terminal details over WhatsApp ahead of time and request a name sign — it will be held up at arrivals so you spot the driver rapidly. From there it is a short walk to the vehicle and straight on to Pembroke Pines.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are exactly what this route is built for. Book ahead, share your ship name and terminal, and the driver is positioned at the curb for your departure window. Even when several ships clear at once and traffic around the terminal builds, your reserved vehicle holds, and arrival tracking keeps the pickup aligned with when you actually step off.
A round journey is priced as exactly double the one-way fare for your chosen vehicle tier, booked under a single reservation. That covers both the cruise-terminal pickup and the return run between the hotel and Port of Miami. Locking both legs at once keeps the same driver coordination and the same fixed rate for each direction, with the combined booking paid in full when you reserve.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
