From $140 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Staybridge Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport – West Hotel covers 22.4 miles (36.1 km) in about 45 to 56 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. One driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal and drives door to door, with luggage room for the whole party.
Pricing is per vehicle, locked at booking, and scales by group size — pick the tier that seats your party.
The simplest way is a single private vehicle booked ahead and assigned to your group alone. After you clear the cruise terminal, your driver is already at the curb — no app, no line, no waiting for a shared van to fill. You select the tier by headcount: a black SUV for up to five travelers, a van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. There is room for cruise luggage, so bags ride with you instead of trailing behind. From the terminal the driver heads north toward Davie and drops you at the hotel entrance, not a remote lot. To set it up, message the date, ship name, terminal, group size, and pickup window over WhatsApp and the journey is confirmed in advance.
Send your sailing date, ship, cruise terminal, passenger count, and preferred pickup time by WhatsApp or email. You receive a confirmation with the vehicle tier and the flat fare. A name sign is added on request, so a returning family or a first-time group can spot the driver fast at the terminal exit.
Your party gets a black SUV or van reserved for it alone — no strangers, no extra stops, no detours to drop someone else first. The driver is bilingual, speaking English and Spanish, which helps when a tired group is sorting out bags and kids after a long sailing. The fare is fixed the moment you book, so demand and traffic never change the number you agreed to. You coordinate everything directly over WhatsApp with a real person, not a queue or a dispatch algorithm, and the pickup is built around a cruise schedule rather than a generic ride request. That combination — private vehicle, a driver who understands disembark mornings, and a price set in advance — is what suits travelers stepping off a ship with a connection or a check-in to create.
The drive runs 22.4 miles and takes roughly 45 minutes when roads are clear, stretching toward 56 minutes at peak. The driver follows Florida’s Turnpike and the I-95 express lanes north out of the port region toward Davie, the fastest pairing for this corridor. Off-peak mid-morning and early-afternoon windows move quickest. The widest swings come on disembark mornings, when several ships release passengers into the same road network at once and South Florida’s regular rush layers on top. Because the fare is fixed, a longer-than-usual crawl never raises what you pay — the only variable is the clock.
Yes. When multiple ships dock and unload together, port-exit roads and the highway both tighten, pushing the trip toward the upper 56-minute end. Building a little buffer into a tight connection is wise on heavy turnaround days. Your driver watches conditions and chooses the cleaner of the turnpike or express-lane options on the way.
Staybridge Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport – West sits in Davie, on the inland west side near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The location is handy for travelers pairing a cruise with a flight, or who desire a quieter base away from the beach strip while staying close to I-595 and the highways feeding the coast. The all-suite format makes it a relaxing landing spot for families spreading out after shared cabins. For room types, amenities, and the exact address, see the Staybridge Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport-West hotel details or an independent hotel overview.
The hotel itself is the page’s subject and an easy choice for an airport-adjacent stay. The surrounding Davie and west Fort Lauderdale area skews residential and business-park, with quick highway access toward Plantation, Sunrise, and the coast.

From this western base you are a short highway hop to Fort Lauderdale’s beaches, the Las Olas dining strip, and Sawgrass-area shopping.

The driver waits curbside at your assigned cruise terminal and meets the group on foot as you exit with your bags — no hunting through a parking garage. Send your ship and terminal over WhatsApp ahead of time, and request a name sign if you’d like one held up at the exit.
This service is a private, door-to-door transfer rather than a shared hotel or airport shuttle. Your group rides alone in its own vehicle on a direct run from the cruise terminal to the hotel entrance, with no other passengers, no fixed shuttle loop, and no waiting for seats to fill before departure.
Yes. One reservation can cover the terminal-to-hotel leg and the hotel-to-port return, priced at double the one-way. Offer us the return date and time and the driver collects you from the hotel entrance for the journey back, keeping both legs organized under the same flat-fare booking.
