From $180 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Nitro Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Nitro Hotel sits inland in north Broward, in the green suburban belt that stretches across Plantation, Sunrise, and Coral Springs. It is a calmer corner of the region than the coast, with wide roads, leafy neighborhoods, and simple reach to the area’s main draws. After a cruise, it makes for an unhurried landing spot: a place to settle in, unpack, and take the rest of the day at your own pace once your bags are inside.
The setting puts a lot within short range. Sawgrass Mills, with its vast run of outlet stores, is close by, and so is Amerant Bank Arena, home ice for the Panthers and a regular stop for concerts and events. For quieter afternoons, the Plantation Historical Museum offers a look at how this part of Broward grew, while Everglades Holiday Park gives you a doorway into the wetlands and their airboat trails. Together they cover a wide range of moods, from large-box shopping to open marsh, all reachable from a single base.
When your ride pulls up, look for your chauffeur at the hotel’s main entrance. The handoff is meant to be simple: bags out of the vehicle, a clear point to meet, and no wandering a parking lot to find your driver. Because the whole stretch runs suburban and well-signed, the approach to the property stays straightforward, and you reach with the door-to-door part of the journey already handled from the terminal curb to the lobby.
The trip from the Port of Miami to Nitro Hotel commonly runs 63 to 79 minutes for the roughly 50-mile route, taking I-75 and the Sawgrass Expressway as one direct leg. Traffic on those two roads is the main variable, which is why the pickup is tied to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, leaving room for slow gangways and the morning rush.
Once you disembark, your chauffeur coordinates the meeting by message as you walk off, then loads every bag at the terminal curb so your luggage rides with you the whole way. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, door to door, with no other stops added. When you reach north Broward, the driver brings you straight to the hotel’s main entrance and helps with the bags before you head inside.

Every policy in full: FAQ
After our cruise, my partner and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Nitro Hotel. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, and there was space for everything. We went from the ship to the front desk of Nitro Hotel with nothing to worry about in between. Would book again for the next cruise.
Viajando con los pequeños, reservamos una van privada para que estuviera en la acera y llevara a todos hasta Nitro Hotel. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
All of us walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Nitro Hotel — nobody splitting up. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
My partner and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Nitro Hotel. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
On time, professional, and the driver knew the terminal perfectly. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
