From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Pelican Grand Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Arrivals at MIA can feel hectic, so the meeting point is simple: the driver, already aware of your landing time from the flight tracking, waits at the arrivals level. The standard curbside greeting costs nothing extra, and the Meet & Greet inside the hall, name sign in hand, is offered for $40. After that, the journey is private and direct.
Pelican Grand Beach Resort sits directly on the sand in Fort Lauderdale, one of the few properties here where the water is a short walk or drive from the door. Numerous travelers take advantage of that and add a beach stop the same day they reach, before they have even fully unpacked. It is the kind of place built around the shoreline, so the ocean is part of the stay rather than an outing you have to plan for.
Fort Lauderdale itself is known for its beach and its canal-lined waterways, and the resort puts you within simple reach of the parts of town people come to see. The city centers on Las Olas Boulevard, the Riverwalk, and Port Everglades, one of the world’s busiest cruise ports. From the resort, Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are among the nearest landmarks, so an afternoon of shops, restaurants, or open water never asks for much of a drive.
Once you have settled in, more of Fort Lauderdale opens up around you. Port Everglades and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are both within simple reach, giving you a mix of waterfront and green space without leaving the region. A stay here frequently comes with a schedule to keep, and having the resort close to these landmarks keeps the day predictable. For details on the property itself — rooms, amenities, check-in times — the official page for Pelican Grand Beach Resort is the place to look.
Your ride from MIA to Pelican Grand Beach Resort is private and door to door. After you land, the driver tracks your flight, meets you once you clear the terminal, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle reserved for your group. There is no line to stand in and no car to share — the journey runs straight to the resort with no transfer and no stop you did not ask for.
Plan on roughly 55 to 69 minutes from the airport to the door, depending on traffic; off-peak is quicker, and rush hour is the slower end. Your bags ride with you, and because the pickup follows your actual landing, a delayed flight merely moves the whole pickup rather than costing you a fresh booking. The fare is set per vehicle and locked when you reserve, so the price waiting for you after the flight is the one you already agreed to.
