Ride to or from Port of Miami and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in a private black SUV or Sprinter van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. The route heads north from the PortMiami cruise terminals along I-95, with a bilingual driver who meets your group curbside, tracks your ship, and handles the cruise luggage door to door.
The price is one flat rate per vehicle, set by group size at booking — never per person and never a surge.
The simplest way is a private door-to-door transfer booked before you sail. Pick the vehicle that matches your group: a black SUV or SUV XL for up to five travelers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger Sprinter for ten to fourteen. Each rides straight from the PortMiami cruise terminal north to your Lauderdale-by-the-Sea address, with no transfers and no waiting for a pooled vehicle. As your group clears the terminal, the driver is already waiting curbside, ready to load your cruise bags. To lock it in, message us on WhatsApp with your ship, terminal, pickup date, and passenger count, and we confirm the vehicle. That single booking covers the whole group, so families with strollers, coolers, and a week of luggage all travel together in one reserved, climate-controlled vehicle.
The drive runs north from the PortMiami cruise terminals to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea along I-95. Off-peak, the corridor tends to move steadily. On a busy disembarkation morning, when several ships empty at once, and during weekday rush hours, traffic builds and the trip stretches longer. Your driver watches live road conditions and chooses the cleanest path north, so you avoid the worst of the terminal congestion where possible. Because the destination is an oceanfront town just up the coast from the port, the trip is a straightforward highway run rather than a long-haul transfer. We plan pickup timing around your ship’s actual debark, not a guessed clock, so you are not left standing at the curb early or scrambling late. Share your terminal and debark window when you book and we build the schedule around it.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride, never a stranger in the next seat. The fare is flat and locked at booking, so heavy demand, rain, or a busy port morning does not move the number you agreed to. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international cruisers. You book straight over WhatsApp and keep a direct line to us before and on trip day, rather than tapping through an app queue. For cruise passengers juggling tight embarkation windows, checked bags, kids, and jet lag, that combination — a set price, a reserved vehicle, and a real person answering — takes the guesswork out of the most stressful hour of the trip. We have run private transfers for more than five years, every day of the year.
Match the vehicle to your group size, and everyone plus the luggage rides together in one reserved car.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a small oceanfront town on the Atlantic in Broward County, north up the coast from PortMiami. It keeps a low-rise, walkable village character rather than a high-rise skyline: a compact downtown of casual seafood spots, ice-cream counters, dive shops, and small boutiques sits a short stroll from the sand. The beach is the main draw, with a town fishing pier and a living coral reef close enough to reach straight from the shoreline, which makes it a favorite for snorkelers and shore divers. The pace is quiet and family-friendly, an easy landing spot for cruisers extending a trip before or after sailing.
Base yourself by the beachfront village center if you want to walk to the sand, the pier, and the restaurants without moving the car. A few blocks back, the quieter residential streets trade beach access for calm. We drop you door-to-door at whichever part of town your stay sits in, luggage carried to the entrance.
Snorkeling and shore diving lead the list thanks to the near-shore reef, followed by fishing off the town pier and long walks along a calm, family-oriented beach. The village downtown adds casual dining, ice-cream stops, and small shops. It suits cruisers who want a relaxed beach day rather than a big-city itinerary.
Your flat rate already covers the parts of the trip that usually pile on surprise charges. Everything below is baked into the price you confirm at booking, so trip day brings no extra line items beyond the optional gratuity. The list keeps a cruise family’s real needs in mind — connectivity, car seats, a pet, and time at the curb while you gather bags.
The rate leaves out food and drinks, the optional driver gratuity, any parking costs, and unscheduled stops along the way. A short stop arranged in advance can usually be added, though a small fee may apply. Extra waiting past the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks after the free time runs out.
Payment goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or our website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price. For a pickup that starts at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% can go straight to the driver on trip day, with cash welcome at that point. Reverse-direction pickups from farther north — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — are paid in full ahead of time. Cancel with 24 or more hours’ notice for a full refund; inside 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable. You can also move a booked pickup time with 24 hours’ notice, subject to availability.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. A trip that starts outside that window adds a small after-hours amount on top of the fare.
Your pickup re-times automatically at no extra cost. The driver tracks your ship’s real arrival and disembarkation, so a late dock never means a missed ride or a re-booking. Courtesy waiting also covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed time. Just clear the ship and your car is there.
Your driver meets the group curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp beforehand. They help load your cruise luggage and walk you to the SUV or van. No searching a crowded rideshare lot after a long debark.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups are exactly what this private transfer is built for. Book at least 24 hours ahead so your vehicle is reserved, share your ship and terminal, and the driver follows your debark time. As you clear the terminal, your reserved car is already waiting curbside for the run north.
Each passenger brings one checked bag plus one carry-on, with room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van. The driver loads and unloads everything for you.
The private van rides at one flat rate per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group travels for the single price shown in the fare list above. A round trip is simply double the one-way. Choose the six-to-nine or ten-to-fourteen van by group size — one booking covers everyone.
Yes — group and corporate cruise transfers are a core part of what we run. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries six to nine or ten to fourteen passengers, so a full team, a conference party, or an extended family sailing together rides in one reserved vehicle at a single flat rate rather than splitting across cars. One booking covers the whole group, the bilingual driver meets everyone curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, and the luggage is loaded and unloaded for you. Driver name and plate arrive by text the day before, which keeps a corporate itinerary predictable. For companies that need ground support beyond a point-to-point run, our private hourly chauffeur service is available with a five-hour minimum. Message us with your group size, ship, and dates, and we confirm the right vehicle and schedule.

Primera vez que usamos un servicio privado en Miami. La tarifa fue la misma que nos cotizaron. Nos dio recomendaciones del destino durante el viaje. Así da gusto viajar. (con 3 carry-ons y 2 maletas grandes)
Not one complaunt about the ride.
Pedimos a van maior para o nosso grupo. O motorista dirigiu com cuidado o caminho todo. Assim dá gosto de viajar.
