From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Westin Fort Lauderdale 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
The Westin Fort Lauderdale sits in a city built around its water. Canals thread Fort Lauderdale from Las Olas all the way to the Intracoastal, which is why locals call it the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles along the sand. Checking into the hotel puts you at the center of that geography, with the boulevard, the beach, and the waterways all within simple reach of the front door.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach are both close by, so an afternoon can drift from browsing the shops and cafes to walking the promenade without much planning. If you desire a little green in the day, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is neighboring in Fort Lauderdale, and Port Everglades is right there too for anyone continuing on to a later sailing. Everything that makes the city worth the journey is gathered within a short radius of your stay.
The hotel makes a natural base whether you are arriving fresh off a cruise or settling in for a longer stretch in Fort Lauderdale. For anything tied to the property itself, such as room details, parking, or check-in times, the hotel’s own official page is the place to confirm it, since those specifics change and the property keeps them current. What we handle is the part before all of that: getting you and your luggage from the ship straight to the entrance, so the first thing you deal with in Fort Lauderdale is the city, not the logistics of reaching it.
Book before you dock and disembarkation turns simple. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, so once your group walks out with its bags, the vehicle is already there at the curb. There is nothing to flag down and no line to join. The luggage goes into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and you leave the port as one group, with no shared stops between the ship and the hotel.
From the terminal it is a single run north on I-95 to the door of The Westin Fort Lauderdale, figure roughly 49 to 65 minutes depending on how traffic moves that morning. The booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait, which quietly absorbs customs and the luggage hall, so the pace of the terminal never costs you the ride within that time. You walk out, the car is waiting, and the hotel is the next thing you see.

Se nota la organización, cabíamos con el cochecito y las maletas.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to The Westin Fort Lauderdale was worth every bit. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to The Westin Fort Lauderdale was the easy way. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to The Westin Fort Lauderdale. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
