Ride private to or from Port of Miami and Elysium Resort: roughly 31.6 miles, 55–72 minutes by I-95, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. One group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a pickup staged for your ship’s arrival — never a shared shuttle.
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 reserved black SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes I-95, so the roughly 31.6 miles to Elysium Resort is a single, direct leg.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
Staying at Elysium Resort puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
At the hotel, look for your driver at the main entrance. At the port, the pickup is coordinated by message as you walk off, and the included 30-minute wait window absorbs slow gangways.
Canals thread Fort Lauderdale from Las Olas to the Intracoastal — the Venice of America — and the beachfront promenade runs for miles.

Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
Company cruise, incentive sailing, or a client event at the port — a fixed fare and a scheduled vehicle from Elysium Resort keep the itinerary accountable.
Whatever the group size, the vehicle is exclusively yours for the run from the port.
The trip normally runs 55–72 minutes for the 31.6-mile route.
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.
Every booking gets its own vehicle and chauffeur — premium service built around your sailing, not a pooled shuttle making the rounds.
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
For a clean, surprise-free total, here is what stays outside the quoted price:
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.
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.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
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.
After a week at sea, certainty beats convenience-on-demand: the reservation carries a built-in wait window, luggage help at the curb, and a driver who has run these terminals hundreds of times.

Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Elysium Resort with the pickup staged around your arrival.
Message first rather than calling — we are often mid-service with other clients and answer texts fastest.

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 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.
