From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Margarita Real 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Hotel Margarita Real gives your group a home base out in West Broward, on the calmer western side of the region rather than in the middle of the downtown crowds. After a week at sea, that setting is simple to settle into: you check in, drop the cruise luggage, and the pace slows down. It is the kind of stay that works well whether you are winding down before flying home or using the room as a launch point for a few more days in South Florida.
The location puts you within simple reach of some of the region’s better-known stops. Hard Rock Stadium and Sawgrass Mills both sit close by, so a large-event night or a full day of shopping is a short hop rather than a project. Flamingo Gardens is neighboring too, and Interstate 75 runs right past this part of West Broward, which makes it simple to point the car toward the Gulf coast, the Everglades, or wherever the rest of the journey takes you.
This is the planned western side of Broward County, the belt of suburbs built out around Weston, Davie, and Pembroke Pines. The whole region is edged by the Everglades levee, so the streets stay orderly and green with open land just to the west. For travelers coming straight off a cruise, that means a quieter, more residential base than the beachfront strips, while the freeway keeps the rest of South Florida within simple driving distance of the front door.
The journey is a single door-to-door run. Once your ship clears and you step off with your bags, your chauffeur is already waiting at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, so there is no wandering the pier looking for a ride. Every bag goes into the vehicle with hands-on assist, from the terminal curb into the trunk, and then it is one straight run out to Hotel Margarita Real with no shared stops and no detours.
From the port it is about 20.6 miles along I-95, and you can plan on roughly 38 to 55 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone for the whole run, so the group travels together at one locked fare. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the I-95 traffic is already built into the plan.

Puntual. Todo bien. Buen conductor. Trayecto silencioso
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Hotel Margarita Real. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir. La sillita para el niño estaba lista cuando subimos, lo que fue una gran ayuda esa mañana.
For an easy morning off the ship, my partner and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Hotel Margarita Real.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to Hotel Margarita Real. The ride from the terminal to Hotel Margarita Real was quiet and relaxed, and we could just unwind after the cruise. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
Los dos dejamos listo un traslado privado para después del crucero y así no lidiar con el gentío del puerto camino a Hotel Margarita Real. El auto estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, con lugar para todo. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
