From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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 desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort sits right on the coast, with Fort Lauderdale Beach and its walkable promenade a short step from the lobby. This is the kind of stay where you can set your bags down and be standing on the sand within minutes, the ocean laid out in front of you. For a group stepping off a cruise, it makes a natural landing spot — close to the water, simple to settle into, and set in a city built around its beach.
Fort Lauderdale layers a few distinct worlds into one compact stretch. The promenade beach runs along the shore, the yacht-lined New River threads through the middle of town, and Las Olas Boulevard gathers galleries, shops, and places to eat within simple reach of the resort. Port Everglades and its cruise piers sit at the southern edge of the city, so the whole region is used to travelers arriving by sea.
From the resort, the beach is the obvious first move — walk out, locate the water, and let the journey start. Beyond that, Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are both close by, and the Riverwalk along the New River gives you a shaded stroll past the boats. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is neighboring too, a pocket of green for a quieter afternoon. Everything here points back to the coast, which is exactly why arriving with your bags already at the door makes for such a simple start.
The ride begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, where your driver is staged and waiting before you finish clearing the hall. There is no line to join and no fare to negotiate — the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, your bags go straight into it, and you head out as soon as everyone is aboard. Pickup is timed to your ship’s arrival, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you.
From the port, the route runs north on I-95 toward Fort Lauderdale, a journey that normally takes 55 to 72 minutes depending on how traffic is moving that morning. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, and the driver brings it right to the entrance of Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort — door to door, curb to lobby, with nothing added on the day.

We booked one van for the whole group from the terminal to Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort so we all checked in together. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado esperándonos en la terminal para el viaje hasta Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort nos quitó todo el estrés. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos.
