From $140 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cruise.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cruise sits in Fort Lauderdale, close to Port Everglades and the airport, which makes it a natural landing spot after a sailing out of PortMiami. The location keeps you within reach of the water and the city both, so a post-cruise night or two here puts the next leg of the journey a simple distance away rather than a long haul across town.
The neighborhood around the hotel is Fort Lauderdale at its most walkable. Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are close by, and the Bonnet House is neighboring as well if you desire a slower morning between the shops and the sand. Canals thread the whole city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, which is why people call it the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles for anyone who just wants to walk and look at the water.
On arrival the property is your point of contact for the practical details. For room types, parking, and check-in times, the hotel’s own official page is the place to confirm what you require, since those specifics change and the property keeps them current. What we handle is the part before that door: getting your group and its cruise luggage off the terminal curb and out to the hotel entrance in one direct run, with the chauffeur meeting you at the exact spot rather than leaving you to locate a ride in the port crowd. That way the first thing you do in Fort Lauderdale is settle in, not sort out logistics.
Coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, so there is no line to stand in and no luggage-on-the-sidewalk wait. The chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, loads the bags, and takes I-95 north as a single direct leg to the hotel entrance. The run covers roughly 25.1 miles and takes about 41 to 56 minutes depending on traffic, and 60 minutes of courtesy wait is built into the pickup so a slow disembarkation is not a problem.
Heading the other way, toward the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads the luggage there. Either direction, the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, gas and typical tolls are already inside the flat rate, and bag assist is handled at both ends. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual arrival rather than a guess.
