From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
The Westin Beach Resort & Spa sits right on the Fort Lauderdale shoreline at 321 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, which means the sand is only steps from the lobby. Plenty of cruise guests trade the ship’s pool deck for real ocean the same afternoon they step off their sailing, and this address makes that simple. When your driver pulls up, you are already where the day begins.
The setting is part of the appeal. Fort Lauderdale is threaded with canals that run from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, which is why the region earned its Venice of America nickname, and the beachfront promenade stretches for miles just outside the resort. It is a simple neighborhood to walk once your bags are dropped, whether you desire the water in front of you or the shops and cafes a short stroll away. The Westin Beach Resort & Spa puts you at the center of it.
Arrival is simple. Your driver waits at the main entrance, so there is no wandering a parking lot or dragging luggage across the property to find your ride at the end of the journey. Coming off the ship, the pickup is coordinated by message as you disembark, and every bag is loaded for you at both ends. From the moment you land at the resort, the plan is to hand you off at the door, luggage and all, so the first thing on your list can be the beach rather than logistics. That is the whole point of booking the ride ahead.
This is one clean run north along I-95, from your cruise terminal straight to the door of The Westin Beach Resort & Spa. The journey normally takes 54 to 71 minutes depending on the hour and how heavy traffic sits on I-95, which is the only real variable on the route. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, a slow gangway does not cost you your ride, and the included 60-minute wait window at the port absorbs the usual disembarkation delays.
You are picked up curbside at your own terminal, not sent off to a distant lot, and your driver handles the bags at both ends of the journey. The vehicle is yours alone for the whole drive, so there are no added stops and no strangers along for the route. Fuel, typical tolls, and luggage help are already inside the flat rate, and your driver meets you at the resort’s main entrance when you create the return leg.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Cruising with the family, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight over to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa was worth every bit. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. Getting to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
We booked one van for the entire crew from the terminal to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa so the whole group stayed together. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port. Made getting off the ship so easy.
The eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa.

Nuestro grupo bajamos del barco juntos y reservamos una van privada de la terminal de cruceros a The Westin Beach Resort & Spa. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, sin nada extra en la acera. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
My husband and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to The Westin Beach Resort & Spa before we even sailed.
