From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Offer us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign is a $40 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
The Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Hotel sits in Fort Lauderdale at 1617 Southeast 17th Street, on the corridor most cruise passengers pass through on their way to the water. The name tells you what the property is built around: it is a landing spot for travelers coming and going by ship, positioned to keep the last leg of the journey short and the morning of a sailing calm.
The setting is simple to like. You are close to the Dania Pointe complex, with its open-air shops and places to eat, and Gulfstream Park is within reach when you desire a little more to do than wait for a departure. For time near the water, the Dania Beach Fishing Pier and Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park are both a simple journey away, giving you a stretch of sand and a slower afternoon before or after a cruise.
Because the hotel sits where it does, it works well for the way most guests utilize it — one night before boarding, or a place to settle after stepping off the ship. When you reach, your driver brings you straight to the entrance rather than a general drop area, so there is no last stretch to sort out with bags in hand. The area around Southeast 17th Street keeps the essentials close, and the short reach into the surrounding Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods means a meal or an errand is never far from the door.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport. Your driver is already tracking the inbound flight, waiting curbside at the arrivals level as you come out, and there to take the bags and walk you to the vehicle. Everything is reserved ahead for your party alone, so there is no line to join and no pin to match — just your car at the curb.

Nice ride. Quick drop-off. Tidy interior.
The two of us landed at MIA for vacation and had a driver waiting the moment we came out of baggage claim. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — everything was handled from the second we landed.
We came to Florida for our honeymoon and starting the trip with a private airport pickup set the tone. Landing after midnight, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride.
We came to Florida for our anniversary and kicking it off with a private airport pickup set the tone. Booking was simple, we got a clear confirmation, and everything went exactly as planned. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made the whole thing that much easier.
