From $180 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to La Quinta Inn & Suites Coral Springs South 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.
La Quinta Inn & Suites Coral Springs South is a hotel in the inland stretch of north Broward, the suburban and green corner of the county that also holds Plantation and Sunrise. It is a practical base after a cruise: a lobby you can walk straight into, room to hold bags if you land ahead of check-in, and a quiet setting away from the coastal crowds. When your chauffeur pulls up, the drop-off happens right at the lobby door, so the last few steps of a long journey day are short ones.
The location puts a few well-known Broward names within simple reach. Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet complexes anywhere, is close by, and so is Amerant Bank Arena, home ice for the Florida Panthers. If you build in an extra day before or after the sailing, the Plantation Historical Museum and Everglades Holiday Park round out the region, giving you a mix of shopping, live events, and a taste of the wild edge of South Florida without a long drive.
For the specifics that belong to the property itself — the full amenity list, luggage-hold details, and whether early check-in is available on your date — the hotel’s own official page is the place to confirm. What matters for the ride is simple: the address is a known one in Coral Springs, it is reachable from every corner of north Broward, and your driver knows exactly where the entrance is.
The journey from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to La Quinta Inn & Suites Coral Springs South runs about 46.9 miles and normally takes 63 to 81 minutes, quiet hours to rush hour, along the Sawgrass Expressway and SR-869 Toll. It is one direct leg north and inland — no transfers, no waiting for a second vehicle, just your group and the driver from the terminal curb to the hotel door.
Your chauffeur meets the ship’s actual disembarkation time rather than a guess, and stays put through the customs line, so the pickup holds even if you are among the later walkers. The bags go into the vehicle at the terminal, the tolls and fuel are already inside the fare, and the same person drives the whole way. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands leaving the ships at once, and the timing is built around that so your ride is ready when you are.
