Private transportation to or from Port of Miami and Lighthouse Point runs in a black SUV or climate-controlled van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. The drive heads north from PortMiami on I-95 into Broward County. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door — one fixed fare, no surge, no shared seats.
Private transportation from Port of Miami to Lighthouse Point is priced per vehicle, so your whole group rides for one flat total:
Booking a private car is the most direct way to travel to or from Port of Miami and Lighthouse Point. You pick the vehicle by group size: a black SUV for couples, families, or up to five cruise passengers, or a private Sprinter van for larger groups of six to fourteen. Message us on WhatsApp with your ship, pickup date, and passenger count, and we confirm the vehicle and time. On cruise day, your driver meets the group curbside as you clear the terminal — no app to open, no line to join, no parking garage to cross. Everyone rides together in one reserved vehicle, straight from the PortMiami cruise terminal to your Lighthouse Point address, door to door. Luggage goes in the back, and the driver has the route ready before you step onto the dock.
Our advantage is a private vehicle reserved for your group alone, with the fare locked at booking. The price you agree to is the price you pay — it does not rise for weekend demand, rush hour, or a late-docking ship. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which helps arriving families sort out plans right at the curb. There is no shared ride and no stranger’s stops along the way; the vehicle carries only your party from pickup to drop-off. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp to book, adjust a time, or ask a question — not a call center or an app queue. For cruise passengers juggling luggage and a tight port schedule, that mix of a fixed fare, a private cabin, and direct contact keeps the transfer simple.
The ride to Lighthouse Point heads north from PortMiami along the I-95 corridor into Broward County. Off-peak — mid-morning, early afternoon, or late evening — traffic on the interstate tends to move steadily and the trip feels quick. During weekday rush hours, and on busy disembarkation mornings when several ships clear their terminals at once, the same stretch of highway carries far more cars and the drive runs longer. Your driver watches live traffic conditions and chooses the smoothest route north, easing around the slow points where possible. Because the pickup is scheduled around your actual ship-clearance time rather than a fixed clock, you are not left waiting on the curb or racing to catch a vehicle that left without you. The exact minutes depend on the day and hour you travel, so we plan the pickup around your ship’s schedule.
Lighthouse Point is a small, upscale waterfront city on Broward County’s coast, laced with navigable canals that open toward the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic. The character is quiet and residential — well-kept homes, private docks, and a strong boating culture rather than a high-rise resort strip. Along the main roads you will find marinas, seafood spots, casual waterfront dining, and neighborhood shopping, with the wider dining and nightlife of the Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach areas close at hand. Cruise travelers usually come here to visit family, stay at a rental near the water, or start a boating or fishing trip. The pace is calm and the streets are easy, which makes door-to-door drop-off straightforward: your driver takes you to the exact address you give, whether it is a private home, a marina slip, or a waterfront rental.
Most visitors stay in a private waterfront rental or a vacation home along the canals, since Lighthouse Point is largely residential. For more hotel and resort choice, the neighboring Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach areas along the coast are close by. Give your driver the exact address and the drop-off is door-to-door.
Lighthouse Point centers on the water: boating, fishing charters, and marina life fill most days. Casual seafood and waterfront restaurants line the main routes, and the beaches and busier boardwalks of the surrounding Broward coast sit nearby. Many cruise guests come simply to see family or unwind by the canals before or after a sailing.
The flat rate covers the full private ride door to door, with the running costs built in. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all included, so nothing is added for the roads you travel. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, so you can message family, confirm a rental address, or plan the next leg while you ride. On a long-distance run, a single short comfort stop for a restroom or snack can be arranged in advance. Everything quoted is per vehicle, for your group only, from curbside pickup to your final door. What the rate does not cover is listed just below, so you know exactly what to expect once the trip is booked and paid.
The fare excludes food and drinks, driver gratuity, parking fees, and any unscheduled stops. A tip is optional and always appreciated but never required. A short nearby stop arranged ahead of time can usually be accommodated, though a small fee may apply. Extra waiting beyond the courtesy window is billed separately in blocks.
Yes. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a proper pet carrier. Tell us the pet and carrier size when you book so we assign a vehicle with room for it beside your cruise luggage. Give us a heads-up early, especially for a larger group already filling the vehicle.
Payment is handled by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or through the website. Card and link payments carry a small four-percent bank fee; Venmo and Zelle avoid it. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though the balance owed to the driver on trip day can be settled in cash. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare shown above — book both directions at once and your return is locked in at the same fixed price. Booking is easy: send your ship, date, group size, and drop-off address on WhatsApp, and we confirm the vehicle, the time, and the total before anything is charged.
For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a fifty-percent deposit confirms the booking and the remaining fifty percent is paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther north in Broward or Palm Beach require full payment in advance.
Every vehicle in the fleet is private and reserved for your group alone. Searching for a “shuttle” to Lighthouse Point? Our equivalent is a private Sprinter van — the whole vehicle is yours, never shared. Pick the tier that matches your headcount and luggage:
Your driver meets the group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, right where you exit after clearing the ship. If you request it on WhatsApp ahead of time, the driver holds a name sign so you spot each other quickly in the crowd. The day before your trip, we text the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, along with exact pickup instructions, so you know precisely who and what to look for. Courtesy waiting is included: thirty minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and fifteen minutes for a hotel or home pickup. That built-in buffer covers the normal wait to gather your party and bags after a ship clears. If more time is needed beyond the courtesy window, extra waiting is added in thirty-minute blocks.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the vehicles are sized with cruise luggage in mind — the black SUV and the Sprinter vans both have real cargo room behind the seats. Your driver helps load and unload the bags, so you are not wrestling suitcases at the curb after a long sailing. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before your trip and we confirm the space or move you up to a larger van so everything fits. It is better to tell us early, while there is still room to size up the vehicle for your group. Nothing about the allowance is meant as a hard cap — it simply helps us match the right vehicle to your party and its gear.
Pickups within daytime hours carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside those hours add a small late-night amount, set by vehicle type:
Cruise travelers ask the same handful of questions before booking a private transfer to Lighthouse Point. Here are direct answers on ship delays, confirmation, secure payment, trip updates, child seats, and how the per-vehicle fare actually works.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the ship’s live arrival and disembarkation timing and re-times the pickup at no extra cost when you dock late. You are never charged a surge or a penalty for a delay, and the driver is there when you actually clear the terminal, not before.
You get a direct confirmation from a real person on WhatsApp, usually within a short window of your request. We confirm the vehicle, the pickup time, and the full per-vehicle total in writing before any payment. Booking at least 24 hours ahead is best; shorter-notice requests are reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed.
Yes. Payments go through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and we never ask for card details over open chat or email. You confirm the trip in writing first, then pay through the method you choose. No sensitive card or personal data travels through an unsecured message.
Yes. Your driver keeps in touch on WhatsApp on trip day, confirming they are on the way and where to meet at the terminal. Because the pickup is tied to your live ship arrival, you get an updated meeting time if your schedule shifts, so you are not guessing on the curb.
Yes. The first child seat for a child under five is free, and each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us the number and ages of the children on WhatsApp when you reserve, and we fit the correct seats before pickup so your family is set for the ride.
Per vehicle. What some travelers call a “shuttle” to Lighthouse Point is, with us, a private Sprinter van booked for your group only — never a shared or pooled ride. The whole party travels for the single flat fare listed above, not a fare multiplied by headcount, and a round trip is just double that one-way price.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Pickup was right outside the cruise terminal doors. Booking on WhatsApp took five minutes. Really satisfied with how it went.
Hicieron una parada corta que pedimos sin problema. El auto olía a limpio y se notaba cuidado.
El día del desembarque había muchísima gente en el puerto. El maletero alcanzó para todo el equipaje del grupo. Totalmente recomendado para salir del puerto.
O cruzeiro terminou numa segunda e estávamos com pressa. Foi tudo mais fácil do que eu imaginava. Foi a melhor parte do fim da viagem.
Nos dejaron en la puerta sin vueltas. Sin duda la mejor parte del final del viaje.
