From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Rolo Beach 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Rolo Beach Hotel sits up in Fort Lauderdale, the coastal city just north of the cruise piers you sail from. It puts you within reach of everything that makes this stretch of shoreline worth the journey: a long promenade beach on one side and the working waterways of the city on the other. For a group stepping off a ship, it is a simple base for a night or a longer stay, close to the water and away from the bustle of the terminals.
What sits around the hotel is a good part of the appeal. Fort Lauderdale layers a promenade beach along the ocean, the yacht-lined New River threading through downtown, and Las Olas Boulevard, where the galleries and storefronts gather. Port Everglades and its cruise piers mark the southern edge of the city, so the whole waterfront feels close together. You can spend an afternoon on the sand, wander Las Olas in the evening, or watch the boats work their way along the river.
Arrival is simple once you reach the door. Your chauffeur pulls up at the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, and from there the beach is a simple walk when you desire it. Anything about the stay itself, the rooms and the front-desk details, belongs to the hotel’s own page; our part is the ride from your ship to its door, timed so you are not left waiting after a long day at sea. Drop the bags, settle in, and let the coast take over from there.
The journey normally runs 56 to 73 minutes, terminal curb to hotel door, following I-95 north out of the port. Traffic on the interstate is the one real variable, which is why your pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. Clear the terminal, walk out with your group, and the vehicle is already staged and waiting.
From there it is one direct ride, reserved for your party alone, with every bag loaded into the vehicle rather than dragged across the port. Your chauffeur handles the luggage from the curb, follows the route straight to Fort Lauderdale, and sets you down at the entrance of Rolo Beach Hotel. No shuttle line, no second stop, no shared seats, just a door-to-door run planned around when your ship actually ties up.

I was sailing solo and arranged a private car to meet me at the terminal curb once the ship docked and take me straight to Rolo Beach Hotel. I got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. No scramble at the port — I just stepped out and the car was ready.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Rolo Beach Hotel. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Rolo Beach Hotel without a scramble at the port was perfect.
The little ones were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Rolo Beach Hotel before anyone lost it. There was a sign with our name at the curb, so we spotted the driver immediately.
Los niños estaban sin energía cuando bajamos, y una van privada ya en la acera llevó a todos a Rolo Beach Hotel de una pieza. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue confiable y puntual.
