From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Green Island Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Green Island Inn is a Fort Lauderdale stay set within simple reach of Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk, two of the addresses travelers most frequently want after a cruise. The location keeps you close to the water and the walkable heart of the city without putting you in the middle of the port bustle, so the inn works well as a quiet base for a night or two on either side of your sailing.
Step out and Fort Lauderdale unfolds around you. Las Olas Boulevard lines up its galleries and storefronts, the New River threads past yacht slips, and a long promenade beach sits within the same simple orbit. The Bonnet House is close by for anyone who likes a historic house and its grounds, and Port Everglades with its cruise piers marks the city’s southern edge — useful context if a ship in your plans happens to sail from there rather than from Miami.
Arrival at Green Island Inn is meant to be the simple part of the day. Your chauffeur brings you to the lobby door at the agreed hour, helps every bag off the vehicle, and leaves you at the entrance rather than a distant lot. Because the ride from the port is private and reserved ahead, there is no line to join and no scramble on the sidewalk — just a planned drop-off that lands you at the inn ready to settle in, set down your luggage, and start finding your way around the neighborhood on your own time.
The run from PortMiami to Green Island Inn is one private ride from the cruise terminal to the inn’s front door. After you clear the ship and customs, your chauffeur meets you curbside at the terminal — not in a parking lot — and loads every bag into the vehicle for you. The car is yours alone for the trip, so once you are aboard you head straight north to Fort Lauderdale with no other stops and no other passengers.
Plan on roughly 59 to 74 minutes from the terminal curb to the inn, depending on the hour and the traffic. Because cruise ships rarely release everyone at the same minute, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with a built-in wait that absorbs the customs hall and the luggage carousel. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and Green Island Inn is the next stop.

Después de una semana en el mar, lo único que quería era un traspaso limpio, así que un auto privado desde el puerto hasta Green Island Inn valió mucho la pena. Reservar fue rápido, recibí una confirmación sólida, y todo salió tal cual.
We cruised with a big crew and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Green Island Inn after disembarking. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. There was room for everyone for the whole group and the whole pile of suitcases in one van to Green Island Inn.
After our sailing, my wife and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Green Island Inn. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it.
The two of us booked a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t worry about the timing getting over to Green Island Inn. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. There was a name sign at the curb, so we spotted the driver immediately.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Green Island Inn. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
