From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel puts you in a city that layers three distinct moods within reach of one another. There is the promenade beach that runs right along the ocean, the yacht-lined New River threading through downtown, and Las Olas Boulevard with its galleries a short distance inland. The hotel sits inside that coastal stretch, close enough to the water that a beach afternoon is the natural next move once you have dropped your bags.
Because Fort Lauderdale hugs the coast, the appeal on arrival is simple to picture. Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas Boulevard both sit within simple reach of the stay, and the wider city holds a few more anchors worth knowing about. Port Everglades and its cruise piers mark the southern edge of town, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park offers a pocket of green a little farther on. It is a place built for walking to the sand, then wandering back toward the galleries and the river when the sun eases off.
Anything about the stay itself, the rooms, the amenities, the front-desk details, lives on the property’s own official page, and that is the part we leave to them. Our piece is the road between the ship and the door. What we can promise is that you reach at the correct entrance with your luggage still in the vehicle, ready to check in and step out toward the beach, the boulevard, or the river whenever you please.
Once you clear disembarkation at PortMiami, your chauffeur is already organized and waiting, staged for your ship’s actual arrival rather than a guessed time. It is one straightforward run north along I-95, roughly 28 miles, ending at the door of Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel. Your bags ride with you the whole way, lobby to curb, with hands-on assist loading and unloading. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so there are no detours to pick up strangers along the route.
Plan on somewhere between 44 and 60 minutes, depending on the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, when thousands of passengers walk off at once, so the pickup is timed to your true disembarkation and the I-95 traffic is already built into the plan. The rate is agreed up front and does not move on the day.

There were six of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Fort Lauderdale Marriot Beach Place Hotel was far simpler than splitting into cars. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — exactly right for the morning. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
