From $140 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport/Dania Beach Hotel covers 28.7 miles (46.2 km) in about 54 to 64 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the cruise terminal and drives door to door to the hotel entrance.
The fare is a flat rate per vehicle, set the moment you book, with the black SUV starting tier shown first below.
Booking is simple: message us on WhatsApp with your ship name, terminal, party size, and arrival date, and we lock the vehicle and the fare. Select the black SUV for up to five travelers, or a climate-controlled van for larger groups of six to nine or ten to fourteen. On arrival day your driver waits curbside at your cruise terminal, holding a name sign if you request one in advance. There is plenty of room for cruise luggage, so the whole party loads in a single journey. From PortMiami the route heads north on I-95 straight toward Dania Beach, then runs the final surface streets to drop you at the hotel door. The same organized pickup works in reverse when you leave the hotel for a return sailing or onward flight. One message confirms everything to or from Port of Miami and Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport/Dania Beach Hotel.
Plan on 54 to 64 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak. The shorter end holds during mid-morning and early-afternoon lulls; the longer end shows up at rush hour and on hectic disembark mornings when several ships clear at once. The corridor follows I-95 north for most of the run before the final streets into Dania Beach. Weekday commuter peaks near 8 AM and 5 PM are the main variables, along with weather. Because the fare is fixed, a slow traffic day never costs you more — only the clock moves, never the price. We build the pickup window around your ship’s scheduled clearance, so you are not stranded on the curb and the driver is not circling the block. If your cruise returns you to PortMiami, the same timing logic applies in the opposite direction back toward the terminal.
The hotel sits in Dania Beach, beside Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and a short ride from the Atlantic shoreline. The location suits cruisers who desire a simple base near the airport before or after a sailing, with open-air shopping, dining, and the beach all within a swift drive. Downtown Fort Lauderdale and its waterfront are minutes north up the corridor. You can read more on the official Four Points Dania Beach hotel page and the region’s Visit Lauderdale travel guide. We bring you straight to the door, so you can drop your bags and start exploring on your own schedule.
Dania Pointe sits close by, an open-air complex of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The Atlantic beaches and the historic Dania pier area are a short ride east, and downtown Fort Lauderdale’s dining and waterfront are minutes north. Your driver can drop you at the hotel first so you settle in before heading out.
The property is an airport hotel right by Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, which makes it a natural stopover for cruisers flying out the next day. We bring you straight to the door after the sailing; from the hotel, the airport terminals are only a few minutes away by car, handy for an early onward flight.
The Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport/Dania Beach Hotel is this page’s home base and our drop-off point. If you are pairing a cruise with extra nights, the broader Dania Beach and airport area offers a range of lodging; we serve this hotel itself as your private, door-to-door destination from the port.
Yes. Reserve both legs at once and the round journey is billed as double the one-way rate, with no new figure to track. The same vehicle class handles your terminal-to-hotel ride and the return from Dania Beach to your departure sailing or onward flight. Booking both together keeps one driver and one fare across the whole stay.
We drop you at the main entrance, so the hotel’s on-site amenities — its dining, pool, and fitness facilities — are steps from where you unload your bags. For exact hours and details, check the official hotel page linked in the section above. Our part is the door-to-door ride from the port; the hotel handles your stay from the lobby on.
A handful of practical details come up most frequently for cruise passengers booking this run. The answers below cover where to locate your driver, how the fare is counted, room for bags, and same-day disembark pickups — the points that decide whether a curbside handoff goes smoothly after a week at sea.
Your driver waits curbside at your assigned cruise terminal as your group exits, holding a name sign when you request one in advance over WhatsApp. Send your ship and terminal number when you book so the pickup point is set ahead of arrival. You walk out, spot your name, and load straight into the reserved vehicle.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole party rides for the one flat price shown in the prices section above. A solo traveler and a group of five in the SUV pay exactly the same. That is why splitting a single private vehicle often works out better than per-seat options for families.
There is room for your cruise luggage in every vehicle tier, so the group and the bags travel together in a single trip. Tell us your party size when booking and we match the vehicle to your headcount, which keeps everyone and everything comfortably aboard for the ride from the terminal to the hotel.
Yes. Disembark-morning pickups are the core of what we do. We set the curbside meet around your ship’s scheduled clearance, so even on a busy morning with several ships in port the driver is there when you walk out. Book the date and terminal and we handle the timing from there.
