From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to TownePlace Suites Fort Lauderdale West 1 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.
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.
TownePlace Suites Fort Lauderdale West 1 sits at 3100 West Prospect Road in Fort Lauderdale, 33309, a suites-style address on the western, inland side of the city rather than the beach strip. It is a simple base after a cruise: a quiet place to settle in, spread out your bags, and take a breath once the port is behind you. Your ride ends right at the door, so the first thing you do on arrival is walk into the lobby, not hunt for the entrance.
Fort Lauderdale gives you ample to reach from here. The city layers a long promenade beach along the ocean, the yacht-lined New River threading through downtown, and the galleries and storefronts of Las Olas Boulevard. At its southern edge sit the cruise piers of Port Everglades, so the same town that hosts your hotel also anchors a good part of South Florida sailing. Between those poles you get a walkable, water-facing city that is simple to explore in short trips.
Because the property is set on the west side, you trade beachfront bustle for calmer surroundings and quicker access to the highways that stitch the region together. That makes it a practical landing spot whether your sailing is ending or just beginning, or whether you are lining up a flight the next morning. We handle only the drive to the door here; anything about rooms, rates, or the stay itself stays with the hotel. Our part is getting you and your luggage there cleanly, at a time built around your ship, with a chauffeur who works these terminals week in and week out.
Once you clear the terminal and your bags are at the curb, your chauffeur is already staged and waiting, timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed hour. From PortMiami it is one direct run north along Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, ending at the entrance of TownePlace Suites Fort Lauderdale West 1. Count on roughly 51 to 67 minutes door to door depending on traffic, with weekend mornings the busiest as thousands of cruise passengers step off at once. The vehicle is yours alone for the trip, so there is no shared stop and no detour.
Your luggage rides with you the whole way, loaded at the pier and unloaded at the hotel, with hands-on assist at both ends. It is a single, peaceful ride from the ship to the door: clear the port, load up, and go. No hauling bags across the terminal and no waiting in a line.
