From $140 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lazy Lake, flat rate locked at booking.
The number below is the whole-vehicle price for the private run between the port and the village. Reserve the vehicle and your full party travels for that one figure, unmoved by traffic.
Your driver watches the assigned cruise terminal and your ship’s real arrival, so a late berth merely moves the pickup to match — the fare holds and nothing extra is charged. As you clear the building with your cruise luggage, they are already curbside, ready to load the bags and pull away toward Lazy Lake. Disembarkation mornings often push several ships onto the pier inside the same window, so the meeting point is set where your group can gather and load without the crush. There is generous space for a week’s worth of cruise bags, which lets a large family climb aboard in one go instead of splitting across cars.
Lazy Lake ranks among the smallest incorporated municipalities in Florida — a compact residential village sitting entirely within Wilton Manors, in Broward County just beyond Fort Lauderdale. Almost nothing commercial exists inside its lines; the place is a cluster of private homes along quiet, tree-shaded streets that ring the small lake it is named for. Lazy Lane works as the community’s single through road. The mood is peaceful and strictly residential, a still pocket set against the livelier Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale around it, so arriving after a cruise means being dropped at a private Lazy Lake address rather than a hotel strip. Wilton Manors carries a walkable stretch of restaurants and bars, and the wider Fort Lauderdale area brings beaches and waterways a short drive from your Lazy Lake stop.
From the terminal the private vehicle turns north out of Miami-Dade and follows the I-95 corridor into Broward County, finishing at your door with no detours to gather other riders. How long the leg takes hinges on when the ship is released and how the highway is moving that morning, so the departure is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. Your driver stays reachable on WhatsApp and reads the traffic as it shifts. The trip is one-way by default — a single private hop from the pier to a village address — whether you are arriving for a stay or catching the reverse leg back to the ship for your next sailing.
Yes. Your driver is bilingual, handling English and Spanish, which helps international cruise passengers sort out plans on the road. You can also message ahead in either language on WhatsApp to confirm the pickup details.
