From $140 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
The Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, sits at 525 S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, right along the sand of Fort Lauderdale Beach. Step out the door and the promenade and the water are a short walk away, which makes it a simple landing spot when you come off the ship and desire the coast within reach the same afternoon.
Fort Lauderdale wraps a lot into a compact stretch. The beachfront promenade runs the eastern edge, the yacht-lined New River threads through the center, and the galleries and storefronts of Las Olas Boulevard sit a few minutes inland. Port Everglades and its cruise piers mark the southern end of town, so the whole region is built around people arriving and departing by sea. Settling in here puts all of that on your doorstep rather than across a long drive.
Once you have dropped your bags at the Maren, the natural next stops are close by. Fort Lauderdale Beach is just outside, and the Riverwalk follows the New River for a simple stroll or a stop for a meal. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park offers a green break not far from the shore, and Port Everglades is neighboring if a beach afternoon after the cruise is the plan. Anything about the stay itself belongs to the hotel; getting you cleanly from the pier to its lobby is the part we handle, with a chauffeur who works the port every week.
This is a door-to-door run from your cruise terminal at Port of Miami straight to the entrance of the Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach. After you disembark, your driver is already staged at the correct terminal for your cruise line, meets your group at the curb, and loads every bag into the vehicle so your luggage rides with you the whole way. From the pier it is a single journey north along I-95 to the hotel, with the car reserved for your party alone.
The drive commonly takes between 51 and 68 minutes. Traffic on I-95 is the one thing that shifts that number, which is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot. Fuel and typical tolls are already built into the flat rate, so nothing is added on the day and there is no meter to watch as you go.
