From $165 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Sonesta ES Suites Fort Lauderdale Plantation in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who desire the Meet & Greet, a name sign inside the terminal, can add it for $40. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Sonesta ES Suites Fort Lauderdale Plantation sits in Plantation, an inland community in Broward County that reads as suburban Fort Lauderdale — residential streets, shopping, and easy highway access rather than beachfront bustle. It is an all-suite address, so the space you book leans toward room to spread out for a longer stay, and the property keeps the details of each suite on its own official page, which is the place to confirm layouts and dates. Our job begins the moment you land and ends at the front door.
The setting is practical for anyone with plans across the county’s northwest. Sawgrass Mills, one of the region’s largest shopping destinations, is close by, and the Amerant Bank Arena draws visitors for games and concerts. Families and outdoor travelers have Tradewinds Park within reach, while Everglades Holiday Park opens the door to airboat country at the edge of the wetlands. Plantation’s inland position keeps you centered among these, rather than tied to a single strip.
What you find on arrival is a calmer, more residential corner of the Fort Lauderdale region — quieter evenings, room to park, and a base that works whether the trip is business near the arena, a shopping weekend, or a longer stay while you settle into the neighborhood. We handle only the ride here; the hotel handles the room. For everything about the suites themselves, the property’s official page carries the current details, and we point you there rather than guess.
The ride starts at Miami International Airport. Your driver follows your flight, so a delayed landing merely moves the pickup, and once you clear the terminal and reach arrivals, they are already waiting to meet you at the curb and take the bags. From there it is one private car, reserved for your party alone, running straight to the door at Sonesta ES Suites Fort Lauderdale Plantation.
The route heads north out of Miami on I-75 and the Palmetto Expressway toward inland Broward, and the door-to-door drive usually falls between 44 and 58 minutes depending on traffic — quicker off-peak, closer to the top end during the morning and late-afternoon rush. Your luggage rides in the same vehicle the whole way, with no transfers and no extra stops, so you step out just once, at the hotel. The fare is set before you travel and does not move with the clock.
