A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Budget Inn runs about 37.5 miles in 60–76 minutes via I-95, at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle — a dedicated SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
Skip the taxi line and the luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble — reserve a dedicated SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
Your driver follows I-95 for the 37.5-mile hop and drops the group at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
the Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and Deerfield Beach Pier sit within easy reach of the stay, with the Pompano Beach Amphitheater and Quiet Waters Park also nearby in Pompano & Deerfield Beach.
If your itinerary includes MIA or FLL, ask for the airport leg when you message us: same vehicles, same flat pricing, one coordinated plan for the day.
Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads the bags; coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit — with 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in.
The rhythm of arrival day is simple: clear the terminal, bags to the curb, one direct ride to Budget Inn — no shuttle line, no luggage-drag across the port.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
North of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Pompano’s fishing village and Deerfield’s Blue Wave beach keep this coast low-key.

A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and premium service from the first message to the terminal curb.
Budget 60 to 76 minutes between Port of Miami and Budget Inn, depending on the hour.
Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the terminal exits; your driver is staged before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours, and I-95 does the rest.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 60 to 76 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour.
Yes — the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg. Book both directions together and each pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
An app assigns whoever is nearby, in whatever car they drive, at whatever the surge says. A reservation assigns a specific vehicle to your group at a fixed fare, staged for your ship’s arrival — a different product for a morning when everyone leaves at once.
Coming off a ship with the whole passenger list, the calculus is simple — a locked fare and a driver already assigned, instead of hoping the nearest car accepts a trip from the port at rush hour.
