From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to La Quinta Inn & Suites Plantation at SW 6th St in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
La Quinta Inn & Suites Plantation at SW 6th St sits at 7901 Southwest 6th Street, Plantation, 33324, in the inland stretch of north Broward. This is the quieter, greener side of the region — Plantation, Sunrise, and Coral Springs are suburban and leafy, a change of pace from the coast you just sailed into. The hotel puts you within simple reach of the region’s two large anchors, so a rest day here rarely stays a rest day for long.
The main draw next door is Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet shopping complexes anywhere, with row after row of stores to work through. Close by is Amerant Bank Arena, home of the Panthers, where a game or an event can fill an evening. For a slower afternoon, the Plantation Historical Museum and Tradewinds Park are both within the north Broward region, giving you a small-museum stop and green open space without a long drive.
On arrival you obtain a straightforward, relaxing base rather than a resort scene. Questions about the property itself — room amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in — are handled on the hotel’s own official page, which is the right place to confirm those details before you land. What matters from the ride’s side is simple: your chauffeur brings you straight to the entrance, helps with every bag from curb to lobby, and leaves you set to start exploring Plantation and the wider north Broward region on your own schedule.
Coming off the ship, your SUV or van is staged for your terminal curb once your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in so a slow disembarkation is never a problem. The chauffeur loads the bags at the curb, and the roughly 27.7 miles to La Quinta Inn & Suites Plantation at SW 6th St run as a single, direct leg by way of Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 — no stops, no detours, no other groups sharing the vehicle.
Count on roughly 46 to 63 minutes from the terminal to the door, depending on whether traffic is light or heavy. Traffic on the Turnpike and I-95 is the one real variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot cut to the minute. The luggage stays with you in the vehicle the whole way, and the chauffeur pulls up to the hotel entrance at the end.
