From $140 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pembroke Pines-Sheridan St Hotel covers 30.5 miles (49.1 km) in about 51 to 63 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. One bilingual driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal and drives straight to the hotel in Pembroke Pines — no shared seats, no surge pricing.
Each price below is per vehicle, locked at the moment you book, and covers the whole group for the full door-to-door ride.
A reserved private vehicle is the most direct way to reach Pembroke Pines after you step off the ship. You pick the tier that matches your party — a black SUV for up to five, a van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen — and the driver is assigned to your group alone. There is room for cruise luggage, so you load up once and ride straight to the hotel without transfers or detours. Booking takes a single message: send your ship name, terminal, and arrival date through WhatsApp, and the fare is confirmed before journey day. The driver heads to the correct terminal as your ship docks, so the car is ready when you clear the gangway.
Your driver waits curbside at the terminal where your ship docks and meets the group as you walk out. Request a name sign in advance through WhatsApp and the driver holds it up so you spot the car quickly. From there it is a direct drive to the hotel entrance with no extra stops.
The drive takes about 45 minutes off-peak and up to 63 minutes at peak. The 30.5-mile route leaves the port, picks up I-75, and joins the Palmetto Expressway before reaching Sheridan Street in Pembroke Pines. Off-peak runs move rapidly; midday and late-afternoon congestion around Miami’s interchanges is what pushes the upper end of the variety. Disembarkation mornings, when several ships clear at once, can also slow the first few miles near the port itself. Because the fare is fixed at booking, a slower run never changes what you pay — the meter does not exist here. The driver monitors live conditions and chooses the cleaner of the two highway segments when traffic builds on one of them.
When three or more ships dock on the same morning, the area around the terminals backs up and the first stretch of the drive slows. Your driver allows for that by watching arrival schedules, but plan your onward connections with a buffer on busy disembarkation days. The fixed fare still holds regardless of the delay.
