A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and TownePlace Suites Fort Lauderdale West 1 runs about 33.4 miles in 51–67 minutes via Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle — a reserved black 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.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a reserved black 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 Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 — about 33.4 miles — ending at the door of TownePlace Suites Fort Lauderdale West 1.
For early arrivals and late flights we run flexible, private hourly tours straight from the cruise terminals — the luggage stays locked in the vehicle while you explore.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and better service from the first message to the terminal curb.
Count on roughly 51–67 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy.
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 Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 traffic already priced into the plan.
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 TownePlace Suites Fort Lauderdale West 1 — no shuttle line, no luggage-drag across the port.
Child safety seats are part of the service:
For corporate sailings out of Fort Lauderdale, one coordinated pickup beats a dozen app receipts: one vehicle, one invoice, one arrival time.
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 Towneplace official site; the ride to the ship is our part.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 51 to 67 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.
A short message with your travel date, party size, and cruise line is enough — we reply with the confirmed flat rate and the terminal pickup plan for TownePlace Suites Fort Lauderdale West 1.

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.
