From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hampton Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport South in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Hampton Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport South is a comfortable, well-run base on the south side of Fort Lauderdale’s airport district, and it draws a steady stream of cruise travelers. Plenty of guests reach the way you are: stepping off a ship, luggage in tow, ready to trade the terminal crowd for a quiet room and a proper night’s rest. The Hampton Inn & Suites format pairs typical rooms with roomier suites, so couples, families, and small groups coming ashore together all locate a fit.
The location is the point. Sitting close to Fort Lauderdale’s airport on its southern edge, the property puts you within simple reach of departure gates for an onward flight the next morning, which is exactly why it works so well as a first or last stop around a cruise. The setting is peaceful and practical rather than touristy, a place to reset between the ship and whatever comes next. Because it is airport-adjacent, the address is simple for a chauffeur to reach directly, with no wandering through unfamiliar neighborhoods to locate the door.
What you locate on arrival is refreshingly uncomplicated. The lobby handles check-in, and the front desk is your top source for anything room-specific, such as parking, early or late timing, and current on-site amenities, since the property keeps those details up to date. For your part, the plan is short: your ride pulls up at the entrance, your bags come out of the vehicle, and you walk straight in. After a long day on the water, that kind of clean handoff is the whole idea.
The journey is booked as one private leg from the Port of Miami to the hotel entrance. After you disembark, your chauffeur is already staged for your ship’s arrival and meets your group at the terminal curb on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the exit hall. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle, and the car is yours alone, so there is no waiting on other passengers and no dragging bags across the port.
From the terminal it is a single, direct run north to Fort Lauderdale, with the driver handling the route, the tolls, and the bags at both ends. When you reach Hampton Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport South, the chauffeur pulls up at the entrance and helps unload right at the door. Courtesy wait time is built into every port pickup, so if disembarkation runs slow, your ride holds for you rather than the other way around.
