This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Tara Hotel Fort Lauderdale — about 31.6 miles and 55–72 minutes along I-95 — booked in advance at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a dedicated SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
From the pier it is one run along I-95 — about 31.6 miles — ending at the door of Tara Hotel Fort Lauderdale.
Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach sit within easy reach of the stay, with Port Everglades and the Bonnet House also nearby in Fort Lauderdale.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
With Fort Lauderdale right on the coast, a beach afternoon after the cruise is the natural next move — drop the bags at Tara Hotel Fort Lauderdale and walk to the water.
Most cruises start with a flight — we also run the MIA and FLL airport legs on the same flat-rate, private basis, so the whole travel day can sit under one booking thread.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
Fort Lauderdale layers a promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and Las Olas Boulevard’s galleries — with Port Everglades’ cruise piers at its southern edge.
Anything about the stay itself lives at Tara Hotel Fort Lauderdale’s official page; the ride to the ship is our part.
Choose by headcount and luggage — every option is private and runs direct between the terminals and Tara Hotel Fort Lauderdale.
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a higher level of service from the first message to the terminal curb.
The trip normally runs 55–72 minutes for the 31.6-mile route.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s rush — thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once — so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the I-95 traffic already priced into the plan.
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 55 to 72 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.
Plan on one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger in the SUV; the vans carry proportionally more. Message us about oversized items and we confirm the right vehicle.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
For dawn embarkations or late-night returns, a modest after-hours amount applies:
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.
There is also the wait itself. A rideshare is requested only after you clear the hall and hauls you to a pickup zone; our driver is coordinated by message as you exit, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait already included, and a schedule change on your side is a message, not a new fare.
Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their respective owners; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by either, and any comparison reflects publicly available pricing.
Groups of 15 or more, or drop-offs outside the listed areas, are also arranged by message — write to us and we build the plan around your ship.
Message first rather than calling — we are often mid-service with other clients and answer texts fastest.

Absolutely, we take reservations from anywhere on the globe. International payments are welcome, and we keep travelers in the loop through WhatsApp and email.
No. We handle advance reservations only. Booking at least four hours ahead is recommended; same-day rides depend on availability and can’t be promised.

Not an issue. We follow your flight live and shift the pickup time as needed, with no added cost.
Pass along the updated details as soon as you can, and we’ll revise your booking while keeping an eye on the new flight status.
Curbside pickup is our main approach. Just message us your exit gate and the driver will roll up within minutes — typically quicker than the classic sign-holding option.
Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.
On domestic flights, we allow up to 60 minutes of waiting after arrival.
On international flights, the courtesy window stretches to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace window.
For port pickups, we hold up to 60 minutes beyond the scheduled time.
This is uncommon, given that two complimentary hours of waiting are already built in. If you remain inside the airport past that point, the ride can be treated as a no-show. You may also ask for more waiting time, priced at US$ 30 for every additional 30-minute block, paid in cash straight to the driver.
Yes. Our drivers give a hand loading and unloading your luggage.
The standard limit is one large suitcase plus one carry-on for each traveler.
Bringing bulkier or extra items — additional suitcases, musical instruments, mobility gear, or strollers? Let us know beforehand so we can set aside the room. There may be an extra fee.
Yes. Small pets are welcome, provided they remain in a secure carrier. Please give us a heads-up in advance.
Yes. One free child car seat comes with the ride for kids under five. Need an additional seat? Request it ahead of time; it runs US$ 15.
We’d appreciate it if you didn’t eat while traveling. Only water in sealed bottles may be brought on board.
Unplanned stops aren’t part of the base fare. That said, if a short, nearby stop is set up in advance, we’ll do our best to work it in. A modest charge may apply depending on the extra time.
Yes. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll move your pickup time.
No. The price we quote is what you pay — nothing hidden. A driver tip is optional and entirely up to you; it’s always appreciated.
No complaints: we keep coming back because it just works, managed our oversized bags fine, showed up right on time. Saved at least 15 minutes vs the rideshare line.
Punto a favor. ayudó incluso con el cochecito del bebé. aterrizamos a las 11pm y el auto ya estaba allí. Valió la reserva.
Muy recomendado: ningún apuro con los bolsos de mano, el conductor fue amable y conversador, hizo que llegar a Miami se sintiera fácil.
Viajando con amigos, todo el grupo, todo el equipaje cupo sin problema.
Punctual and professional. easy to keep using them, no reason to switch, honestly wifi worked, kids stayed busy on the way. (the $80 rate stayed firm)
