Not sailing from PortMiami? If you landed at Miami International and your cruise line's terminal is actually at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, you're in the right place. It's a common mix-up — two major Florida cruise ports, both reachable from MIA, and cruise lines don't always make the terminal name obvious on your documents.
From MIA, Port Everglades is about 30 miles north, roughly 40 minutes up I-95, cutting the opposite direction from a PortMiami run. Same airport, same baggage claim, different destination entirely — worth double-checking your boarding pass or cruise confirmation before you commit to a pickup.
This route is not an afterthought add-on: it's a mirror of our MIA-to-PortMiami page, built for the segment of travelers whose ship happens to load out of Fort Lauderdale instead.
How much is a private car from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Port Everglades?
The flat rate is $219 one way in a black Chevrolet Suburban, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large bags. The drive is about 40 minutes over roughly 30 miles. The rate covers the whole vehicle, with tolls included. Gratuity is optional.
Pickup Procedure
At MIA, your chauffeur meets you curbside at the arrivals level door closest to your baggage carousel. We track your flight and hold 60 minutes of free wait time from landing, so a slow customs line or checked-bag delay doesn't threaten your Port Everglades boarding window.
Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet at baggage claim with a name sign is an optional $199 add-on at checkout.

Frequently Asked
My cruise confirmation says 'Fort Lauderdale' but I'm flying into MIA — is that normal?
Yes. A lot of cruise lines list the port city as Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), and MIA is a perfectly reasonable airport to fly into for it — you're just 30 miles from the terminal instead of landing at FLL directly.
How do I know if I'm sailing from PortMiami or Port Everglades?
Check your cruise line's boarding documents for the terminal address — PortMiami addresses are on Port Boulevard in downtown Miami; Port Everglades terminals are numbered and sit off Eller Drive or Eisenhower Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. When in doubt, tell us your cruise line and sail date and we'll confirm before booking.
What's the fare for MIA to Port Everglades?
$219 flat, door to terminal, regardless of which numbered Port Everglades terminal your ship uses.
Is 40 minutes enough buffer if my flight lands close to boarding cutoff?
It's a short drive, but we still recommend a minimum 2.5-hour cushion between landing and boarding cutoff to allow for baggage claim, the drive, and terminal check-in — especially on a Saturday turnaround day at the port.
How does payment work?
Payment reserves your date. Book more than 72 hours ahead and a 50% deposit reserves it now; 72 hours before pickup, the balance is charged automatically to the payment method you booked with. Book 72 hours or less ahead and checkout collects the whole fare. There's no card processing fee — that's built into the flat rate — and gratuity is optional.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel 24+ hours before pickup for a full refund. Inside that window, we retain 25% of the fare; no-shows retain 50% of the fare.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes. Infant, toddler and booster seats are $49 each for the first two and $99 each after that, charged once per booking. Round trips and multi-leg bookings add 50% per additional leg. Request them when you book so they are installed before pickup.
Can you meet us inside the airport?
Yes. Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet is an optional $199 add-on, chosen at checkout and charged once per booking. Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a name sign, helps with bags, and walks you to the vehicle. It needs your flight number.
