Flying into FLL because the fare was better, then sailing out of PortMiami rather than Port Everglades - it's a common combination, and also a common source of confusion. This page exists to clear that up: your flight lands in Fort Lauderdale, your ship boards in Miami, and those are two different ports about 25 miles and 42 minutes apart.
The mix-up is common enough that it's worth stating directly - Port Everglades is Fort Lauderdale's own cruise port, right there near FLL, while PortMiami is the one further south with the lettered terminal system, A through J. If your cruise documents say PortMiami, don't let a driver take you to Port Everglades by mistake.
Once we've confirmed you're headed to PortMiami and which lettered terminal your line uses, the drive down is straightforward - I-95 or the turnpike depending on traffic that morning, timed to your cruise line's boarding window rather than a generic hour-before rule.
How much is a private car from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) to PortMiami?
The flat rate is $199 one way in a black Chevrolet Suburban, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large bags. The drive is about 42 minutes over roughly 25 miles. The rate covers the whole vehicle, with tolls included. Gratuity is optional.
Pickup Procedure
Your chauffeur meets your flight at FLL's arrivals level, positioned at the door closest to your baggage carousel. The 60-minute free wait runs from actual landing - once your luggage is loaded, we confirm your PortMiami terminal letter and route directly there, not to Port Everglades.
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
Wait - I flew into FLL, does that mean I'm sailing from Port Everglades?
Not necessarily. FLL and Port Everglades happen to be near each other, but plenty of cruises out of FLL sail from PortMiami instead. Check your cruise documents for the port name, and tell us clearly when you book - it's a genuinely common mix-up.
Which PortMiami terminal do I need?
Depends on your line: Royal Caribbean Terminal A, Norwegian B/C, Carnival D/E/F, MSC AA/AAA, Virgin V. We'll confirm it with you before pickup.
What's the fare from FLL to PortMiami?
The FLL to PortMiami fare is $199.
How long does the drive take on an embarkation morning?
About 42 minutes under normal conditions, though we build extra time into the pickup for terminal traffic near boarding windows - tell us your cruise line's suggested arrival time and we'll plan the pickup around it.
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.
