From $140 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Hampton Inn Ft. Lauderdale-West/Pembroke Pines Hotel covers 30.8 miles (49.5 km) in about 51 to 64 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. The drive heads northwest on I-75 and the Palmetto Expressway, door to door, with a bilingual driver.
The fare is set by vehicle size and locked the moment you book, with nothing added for traffic or demand.
A reserved private vehicle is the most direct way to reach Pembroke Pines straight off the ship. You pick the tier by group size: a black SUV for up to five travelers, a van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. The driver meets your party curb-side as you exit the cruise terminal, holding a name sign when you request one over WhatsApp ahead of time. There is room for cruise luggage, and the journey runs point to point with no other stops, dropping you at the hotel entrance. Booking is simple — message the WhatsApp line or use the website with your ship name, sailing date, and passenger count, and the pickup is scheduled around your disembark window.
Send your cruise line, ship name, arrival date, and number of travelers through WhatsApp or the website form. You confirm the vehicle tier, request a name sign if you want one, and the pickup time is set to your terminal exit. A confirmation comes back before sail-in, so the driver is in place when you step ashore.
The drive from PortMiami to Hampton Inn Ft. Lauderdale-West/Pembroke Pines Hotel runs 30.8 miles and takes about 45 minutes off-peak, stretching toward 64 minutes at peak. The route climbs northwest out of the port, joins the Palmetto Expressway, and follows I-75 toward west Broward County. Off-peak windows — mid-morning after the first disembark wave clears, or early afternoon — tend to hold near the lower figure. The wider 51-to-64-minute spread accounts for weekday rush hours and the heavier flow when several ships release passengers at once. The driver factors current conditions into the pickup time, so your group is collected when the road ahead is clearest for the destination.
Disembark mornings move the most cars at once, especially when three or more ships clear together, so the terminal exit and the first miles toward the expressway run slower. Weekday commuter peaks on I-75 add minutes as well. The driver watches these patterns and times your curbside pickup to ease the start of the trip.
The hotel sits in Pembroke Pines, in west Broward County between Fort Lauderdale and the Miami metro line. The district is suburban and calm, built around wide commercial boulevards, casual dining, and swift expressway access via I-75. Cruise travelers use it as a quiet base before or after a sailing, away from downtown crowds yet within a short drive of both Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Shopping plazas and large family parks sit close by, and the beaches of Fort Lauderdale are roughly half an hour east. The property carries standard guest amenities for an overnight cruise turnaround — you can review the details on the Hampton Inn Pembroke Pines hotel page.
Hampton Inn Ft. Lauderdale-West/Pembroke Pines is itself the lodging hub for this trip, set among the residential neighborhoods of west Pembroke Pines and Miramar.

Families with time to spare find outlet and plaza shopping, casual chain restaurants, and several large municipal parks within minutes of the hotel.

It is an easy area to unwind before flying home or boarding the next sailing.
The flat fare covers the full door-to-door ride, with tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel already built into the quoted price — nothing extra is collected for the highway segments along I-75 and the Palmetto.
