A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Lauderdale Lakes rides in a chauffeured black SUV at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle, following the I-95 corridor north into Broward County. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door — no surge pricing, no shared seats, one fixed fare confirmed when you book.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so the whole cruise party rides for one price fixed at booking.
The simplest way off the ship is a private vehicle reserved for your group alone. Once you clear customs, walk out of the terminal and your driver is waiting curbside, name sign in hand if you asked for one over WhatsApp. There is no line to join and no app to refresh. Pick the vehicle that matches your party: the black SUV holds up to 5 travelers, the mid Sprinter van takes 6 to 9, and the large van seats 10 to 14 — each with space for the suitcases a cruise generates. The driver helps load every bag, sets the route north through the I-95 corridor toward Lauderdale Lakes, and drops you at your exact door in Broward County. To book, message us with your ship name, disembark date, party size, and destination address, and we lock the vehicle and the flat fare in advance.
A private transfer means the SUV or van is held for your group and no one else shares the ride. The fare is a flat rate locked the moment you book, so a busy disembark morning or heavy demand never changes the number you agreed to. Your driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — which smooths the handoff when a family steps off the ship tired and ready to go. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and during the trip, not a queue. The driver helps load and unload every piece of cruise luggage, so nobody wrestles bags at the curb. Driver name, vehicle make, and license plate arrive by text the day before, along with pickup instructions. For cruise passengers juggling a tight post-ship schedule, one reserved car, one fixed price, and one point of contact keep the whole morning under control.
The ride heads north from the cruise terminal along the I-95 corridor into central Broward County, and the clock depends mostly on how the roads look the morning you sail in. Cruise disembark hours put thousands of travelers on the road at once, and when several ships empty together the terminal exits and the interstate carry heavier traffic than a quiet mid-afternoon. A midday or evening run generally moves faster than a peak disembark window. Rather than promise a figure we cannot guarantee for your specific sailing, we plan around your actual ship schedule: the driver watches your vessel’s arrival and disembark timing and sets out to have the vehicle curbside when you actually clear the terminal, not a minute pinned to a brochure. Give us your ship and time over WhatsApp and we build the pickup around real conditions on the day you travel.
Pickup happens curbside right at your PortMiami cruise terminal, where the driver waits as your group walks out after customs. Request a name sign in advance on WhatsApp and the driver holds it up so you spot the vehicle immediately in the disembark crowd. Because a ship can dock early or run behind, the driver monitors your vessel’s arrival and adjusts, and the pickup is re-timed at no extra cost when the ship comes in late. Courtesy waiting includes 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed time, giving your family room to gather bags and clear the building without pressure. The driver helps load every suitcase and carry-on, then pulls out for the door-to-door run to Lauderdale Lakes. The day before your trip, we text the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, so you know exactly who and what to look for.
Lauderdale Lakes is a relaxed residential city in central Broward County, built around quiet neighborhoods, community parks, and everyday shopping plazas rather than a tourist strip. It sits within easy reach of the wider Fort Lauderdale area, so travelers pair a calm home base with the dining, culture, and coastline that greater Broward is known for. You can learn more about the city on the official City of Lauderdale Lakes website, or check municipal resources through the city’s online services portal.
Lodging in this part of Broward tends toward practical suburban stays close to main roads, and many cruise travelers prefer a quieter base here over a crowded beachfront district. If you want to be nearer the water or nightlife, the greater Fort Lauderdale beach areas and downtown sit within the same region, giving you flexible options depending on your plans.
Day to day, the area leans toward local parks, community gathering spots, and shopping plazas that keep a family stocked between excursions. Because Lauderdale Lakes sits inside the broader Fort Lauderdale metro, the beaches, waterways, and cultural venues that draw visitors to Broward are all part of the surrounding region you can explore from here.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, and every toll, SunPass charge, and fuel cost along the way — nothing extra is tacked on for the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot so the group stays connected. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book, so tell us the ages ahead of time. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp when carried in a pet carrier. Courtesy waiting is included — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal and 15 minutes for hotel pickups. Not included are food and drinks, parking costs, optional driver gratuity, and unscheduled stops, though a short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated for a small fee. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund.
Cruise trips generate real luggage, and the vehicles are chosen with that in mind. The included allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and every tier — from the black SUV up to the 14-seat van — leaves room for the suitcases a sailing produces. If your group is traveling with extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp in advance; we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van so everything and everyone fits comfortably. The driver handles the loading and unloading at both ends, so no one is hauling bags across a parking lane after a long voyage. Rather than squeeze a family into a car that is too small, we match the vehicle to both the headcount and the luggage before the trip is confirmed, which keeps the curbside handoff quick on a busy disembark morning.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% can go to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Because Lauderdale Lakes sits up in Broward County, a return trip that starts there — a reverse-direction pickup from farther out — is paid in full in advance rather than split. We spell out the exact split for your specific direction when you book, so there are no surprises on the day you travel.
Three private tiers cover cruise parties of every size, and the SUV is the popular pick for couples and small families:
Below are the questions cruise passengers send us most often about the run to or from Port of Miami and Lauderdale Lakes.
Nothing changes for you. The driver monitors your ship’s arrival and disembark timing in real time, and the pickup is re-timed at no extra cost when the vessel docks behind schedule. Your flat rate stays exactly the same. On top of that, 30 minutes of courtesy waiting at the terminal gives your group time to clear customs.
Our private shuttle vans and the black SUV are priced per vehicle, not per person, so the whole group rides for the single flat fare listed in the prices section above. Pick the tier that matches your headcount, and the number you see is the number you pay — booked in advance, with no surge on a busy cruise morning.
Yes. Disembark-day pickups are the core of what we do. Send your ship name, disembark date, party size, and destination address, and we hold a vehicle for that morning. The driver tracks the vessel and meets your group curbside as you exit the terminal, name sign in hand if you requested one over WhatsApp.
Book 24 or more hours ahead to secure the vehicle and lock the flat fare. A request under 24 hours is still reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed. A confirmed pickup time can also be moved with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability, so send changes early if your plans shift.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5. Each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book, so tell us the number of children and their ages in advance over WhatsApp. That way the correct seats are installed and ready in the vehicle before your group reaches the curb.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier for the trip. Let us know when you book so the driver plans for the extra space alongside your cruise luggage. Sharing it ahead of time keeps the curbside pickup quick and comfortable for both your family and your pet.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window add a small after-hours amount on top of the flat fare:
