From $160 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Lighthouse Point covers 40.4 miles (65 km) in about 67 to 77 minutes door to door, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate. Reserve one vehicle for the whole group and skip the cruise-day taxi line.
Each price below covers the whole vehicle for your party, not a per-person charge.
Book one private vehicle and ride straight from the terminal to your Lighthouse Point address. After you clear customs and collect your bags, your driver is waiting curbside, so there’s no taxi line and no app to open. Select the black SUV when your party is five or fewer, the 6-to-9 van for a larger family, or the 10-to-14 van for a full group sailing together. Each vehicle has room for cruise luggage, so suitcases and carry-ons journey with you instead of in a second car. Reserve by WhatsApp or through the website, share your ship name and arrival date, and we time the pickup to your debark. The driver delivers you door to door — no transfers, no stops you didn’t ask for. One message confirms the vehicle, the meeting point, and the time.
The ride runs about 67 minutes off-peak and up to 77 minutes at peak. The driver follows I-95 for most of the route before exiting toward northeast Broward County. Mid-morning and early-afternoon windows keep you near the reduced end of that variety. Weekday rush hours through the Fort Lauderdale corridor and busy disembarkation mornings push the journey toward the upper end. Because the fare is set per vehicle, traffic on the day never adds to the bill — the timing flexes, the price does not.
It can. When several ships clear customs in the same window, the roads leaving the port fill quickly and add minutes before you reach the highway. We plan pickups around known debark waves, so the driver positions early and routes around the heaviest terminal exits whenever the morning is crowded.
Lighthouse Point is a small waterfront city in northeast Broward County, laced with canals that open onto the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic. It sits between Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach, a quiet, boating-focused community a short drive from broad public beaches. Cruise travelers use it as a calm base after a sailing — marinas, waterfront dining, and the ocean are all close. For city details, hours, and local notices, see the Lighthouse Point official city site. Your driver delivers you straight to the address you supply, whether that’s a rental on the water, a relative’s home, or a marina slip.
The city itself is mostly residential, so many visitors book waterfront rentals along the canals. For hotel rooms, the neighboring Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach areas a few minutes south offer oceanfront stays. Tell us the exact address when you book and the transfer ends right at the door, no matter which area you choose.
Families spend time on the nearby public beaches, the Intracoastal for boating and fishing charters, and the historic waterfront dining the area is known for. Quiet parks and the canal-side setting suit travelers winding down after a sailing. Everything sits within a short ride, so a half-day of plans fits easily before or after the cruise.
The rate includes every toll, SunPass charge, and fuel cost along the way, so nothing is added at the curb. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, useful for confirming plans or checking the next leg of journey. The bilingual driver, the reserved vehicle, and door-to-door service are all part of the price you booked. Everything quoted is what you ride with from PortMiami to Lighthouse Point.
Trips that depart outside the daytime window add a surcharge, detailed further down the page. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Anything beyond the ride itself — meals, attractions, lodging — is arranged separately.
Yes — we serve the surrounding northeast Broward and south Palm Beach communities with the same private, per-vehicle model. Common destinations from PortMiami feature Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Hillsboro Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raca just to the north. The vehicle stays yours from the terminal to the final address, whether that’s a beachfront rental one town over or a marina farther up the coast. Pricing scales with distance and is quoted per vehicle when you book, so a larger group splits one fare rather than paying per head. Tell us the exact drop-off city and we confirm the vehicle and timing on WhatsApp before your ship arrives.
Short answers to what arriving and departing cruise travelers ask before they book this route.
Nothing on your end. We track your ship’s arrival and re-time the pickup to the actual debark, at no extra charge for the delay. The driver waits at the terminal and meets you when you exit, so a late dock doesn’t cost you the ride or the fare you locked in.
Your driver meets the group curbside right at the cruise terminal as you exit with your bags. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and the driver holds it at the pickup point. You’ll have the driver’s direct contact before arrival, so connecting takes one message.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the pricing section above, so a family of five pays the same as a couple in the SUV. A round trip is simply double the one-way for the same vehicle.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
