From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Relax Inn Fort Lauderdale 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Relax Inn Fort Lauderdale is your landing spot in a city that keeps its water close. Fort Lauderdale sits north of the Port of Miami cruise terminals, with the piers of Port Everglades right at its southern edge. After the crowd and noise of disembarkation, arriving here feels like stepping into a quieter, more settled corner of South Florida, one where the pace slows down and the day is yours again.
The city layers three very distinct moods into a small footprint. There is the promenade beach, wide and open, made for a slow walk once your bags are down. There is the New River, lined with yachts, curling through the center of town. And there is Las Olas Boulevard, where galleries and shopfronts offer the street its simple, browsable character. Whatever pulled you to Fort Lauderdale, a piece of it is commonly within reach of where you are staying.
If you decide to linger after the cruise, the setting rewards it. Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are close by, and the Riverwalk gives you a shaded path along the water when you desire to stretch your legs. For a greener afternoon, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park sits neighboring as well, a pocket of quiet on the coast. Relax Inn puts you within a simple reach of all of it, so the transfer from the port is really just the first step of the visit rather than the whole story.
The journey runs door to door: your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, meets your group at the curb, and loads every bag so nothing is left to you. From the Port of Miami it is a single, direct leg north to Relax Inn Fort Lauderdale, roughly 28 miles that normally takes 43 to 59 minutes. Disembarkation mornings back up fast at the exits, but the wait is the driver’s, not yours.
Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, and the car is reserved for your party alone. Because ships rarely clear everyone at the same minute, the pickup is planned around your ship’s arrival, with a built-in wait window that absorbs customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and Relax Inn Fort Lauderdale is the next stop.

We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Relax Inn Fort Lauderdale so the whole group stayed together.

Después de una semana en el mar, solo quería el traslado resuelto, así que un auto privado desde el puerto hasta Relax Inn Fort Lauderdale valió mucho la pena. El conductor me dejó en la entrada de Relax Inn Fort Lauderdale, y no a media cuadra.
