A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Budget Inn runs about 29.2 miles in 46–63 minutes via I-95, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle — a private 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 private SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
From the pier it is one run along I-95 — about 29.2 miles — ending at the door of Budget Inn.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
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.
With Fort Lauderdale right on the coast, a beach afternoon after the cruise is the natural next move — drop the bags at Budget Inn and walk to the water.
Whatever the group size, the vehicle is exclusively yours for the run from the port.
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.
Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
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.
Every reservation carries free wait time:
For a clean, surprise-free total, here is what stays outside the quoted price:
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — a better experience, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
Count on roughly 46–63 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy.
Traffic on I-95 is the only variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 46 to 63 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.
When the schedule falls outside 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, this is the only adjustment:
The difference shows at 8 AM on a turnaround Saturday: app queues and climbing multipliers at the port exits on one side; on the other, a chauffeur already staged at your terminal at a fare set days ago.
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.
Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Budget Inn with the pickup staged around your arrival.
Message first rather than calling — we are often mid-service with other clients and answer texts fastest.

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.
