Private ride from MIA to Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Lauderdale Airport-Cruise Port — 23.4 miles by SUV in 38 to 46 minutes, flat from $140.
Each figure below is flat and per vehicle, set the moment you book, with nothing recalculated later for traffic or demand.
Three private tiers cover almost any party size. The black SUV — or SUV XL — is the standard answer for up to 5 with their bags, suiting couples, families, and small groups. Mid-size parties take the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seating 6 to 9 in one cabin. Bigger groups move up to the Sprinter for 10 to 14, which works well for reunions, work teams, and wedding parties travelling together. Send your headcount and a sense of the luggage at booking and we pair you with the right vehicle instead of guessing on the day.
By the car. The whole group rides for the single flat price in the section above, SUV or private van. Adding passengers within a vehicle’s capacity changes nothing, which is why bigger groups often come out cheaper per head.
A private vehicle booked for your group and met right at the MIA curb. Pick the tier that fits: a black SUV for up to 5, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14. When you land, the chauffeur is already at the curb as you step out; bags go in and you head north toward Fort Lauderdale with nothing added to the route. To reserve, send your flight number, date, party size, and hotel address by WhatsApp or email and we confirm the vehicle and fix the fare on the spot. Prefer to be met inside? An optional in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign can replace the curbside pickup.
Door to door, count on about 38 minutes off-peak and up to 46 at the busiest. The 23.4-mile (37.6 km) route runs north out of Miami toward Fort Lauderdale, and the gap between those figures is all rush-hour highway volume rather than anything about the distance. Weekday mornings and late afternoons sit near the top of the band; midday and evening departures usually move quicker. The clock really starts when you leave the terminal, not at a fixed slot, so an early or late landing just shifts the whole thing. Larger groups in a private van should allow a couple of extra minutes to load, though the time on the road is the same.
Usually cost and timing — plenty of travellers find the flight they actually want lands in Miami, then cover the 23.4 miles up by car. This transfer is made for exactly that: 38 to 46 minutes in one private vehicle, the express lanes handling the long middle and only the first and last minutes spent on airport ramps and local roads.
The flat fare buys the private vehicle, your bilingual chauffeur, and curbside collection at the terminal, plus tolls, SunPass, and fuel for the northbound run. Onboard WiFi arrives via a mobile hotspot, and standard luggage of one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger is part of it.
Just a few items sit apart. Meeting you inside with a name sign is an optional paid add-on. A child under 5 rides the first seat free, while any seat past that adds a fee set at booking. And a pickup beyond daytime hours picks up the night surcharge below.
Nothing is added between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Outside that window a small after-hours charge applies by vehicle type.
In two halves, to keep it simple. A 50% deposit confirms and holds the booking, and the other 50% goes to your chauffeur on travel day. We take Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash works for close-in, neighbouring pickups. A round trip is just as easy — double the one-way, the same flat per-vehicle rate on each leg.
Your flight details, how many are travelling, and the pickup or drop-off address. Back comes the exact vehicle and its flat per-vehicle price, held against a 50% deposit — the other half reaches your chauffeur on the day, so nothing’s left hanging when you arrive.
Every chauffeur is bilingual in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so coordinating the pickup is easy the moment you land. You reach yours directly on WhatsApp before and during the trip, so a question about the curb, the bags, or a gate change gets answered live by the person actually driving. Your luggage is handled at both ends. It comes down to one clear number, one named chauffeur, and a ride built around your flight rather than an app’s queue.
The hotel sits in Fort Lauderdale’s airport-and-cruise-port corridor, a practical, well-connected pocket built for guests bound for flights, sailings, and the nearby business parks. The area mixes dining, everyday conveniences, and quick access toward the city’s beaches and waterfront without the crush of the downtown core — a calm base near your departure point that still keeps the coast in reach. You can look over rooms, amenities, and current rates on the hotel’s official Hilton page, and compare nearby options across Hilton Garden Inn locations in Fort Lauderdale.
The surrounding blocks lean toward casual dining and guest conveniences, with Fort Lauderdale’s beach districts and waterfront promenades a short drive off. Guests often pair a stay here with a cruise embarkation, business at the nearby offices, or a slow day along the coast, which makes it a flexible base for leisure and work alike.
This corridor holds several hotels with almost identical airport-and-cruise-port names, so the street is what pins it down: SW 18th Avenue in Dania Beach. Put that line in your booking message and the pin is set well before anyone leaves for the terminal.
One thing this fare doesn’t include is a later hop from the hotel down to a ship — that’s a separate route, quoted on its own over WhatsApp; send the terminal and the sailing time and it comes back confirmed alongside your arrival ride.
Small pets are welcome in a proper carrier as long as you tell us ahead on WhatsApp. For luggage over the standard allowance — extra cases, oversized or odd-shaped pieces — message us ahead and we confirm the room or bump you to a larger private van, so no one rides with a bag on their lap.
The questions travellers raise most on this run, answered in short below.
Nothing changes for you. Your chauffeur tracks the inbound flight live and adjusts the pickup on their own, so an early or delayed landing simply shifts when you’re met at the curb. Nothing to rebook, and no penalty for a flight that runs off schedule.
Curbside, and it’s part of the fare: your chauffeur is ready at the curb as you exit the terminal, reachable on WhatsApp to pin the exact spot. Prefer to be met inside? An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
A round trip is priced at double the one-way, one fixed price per leg, so it costs the same as booking each direction on its own — what it buys you is both rides confirmed under a single reservation. Reserving the return ahead also means a vehicle and chauffeur are already committed to your departure day.
Every passenger is covered for one checked bag plus one carry-on. The SUV takes a small group’s standard luggage easily, and the private vans scale up from there — a party of fourteen and their cases still ride in one vehicle rather than two.
Yes. For groups of 6 to 14, our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans act as your own shuttle — reserved for your party, no shared seats, no strangers, no stops to collect anyone else. The fare stays per vehicle at the fixed price above, so the whole group rides together to or from MIA and the hotel on one booking.
Think of it as the polished alternative: a single quoted price, a driver matched to you by name, and a pickup planned around your landing — all for less than an Uber Black or Lyft Lux would ring up.

We work curbside only. Send us your exit gate and the driver reaches you within a few minutes — quicker than the traditional sign-holding routine.
If you’d rather have a driver holding a name sign inside the terminal, we can set that up for US$ 20.
One day before departure, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and the license plate, along with full curbside pickup directions.
Relax — we’ll text you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back soon, the driver heads to the international arrivals hall by default. Wait there and we’ll locate you; nobody gets left behind.
Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after arrival
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary wait time
Hotel pickups: 15-minute grace period
Port pickups: up to 60 minutes after the agreed time
That’s uncommon, because two free hours of wait time are already built in. Should you still be inside the airport past that, the trip may count as a no-show. Extra wait time can be requested at US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid to the driver in cash.
Definitely — our drivers help load and unload your luggage.
Each person may bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on as standard. Traveling with bigger items or extras — additional suitcases, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Let us know beforehand so we can prepare; an extra fee may apply.
Yes — small pets may come along, provided they stay in a secure carrier. Please give us advance notice.
One child car seat is included free for kids under five. Need another? Request it ahead of time — it costs US$ 15.
We ask you not to eat while traveling. The only beverage allowed is water in sealed bottles.
Spur-of-the-moment stops aren’t part of the base fare, but a short, nearby stop arranged ahead of time can be accommodated. A modest fee may apply for the added time.
Certainly. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, availability permitting, we’ll shift your pickup time.
The price you’re quoted is the price you pay — no hidden charges. A tip for the driver is entirely optional and always welcome.
Cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup and you’re refunded in full. Cancellations within 24 hours of the ride can’t be refunded.
Heads-up: refunds have a one-month claim window. Tell us about any issue — a no-show, a service problem — within 30 days of your scheduled ride; after a month the booking is no longer eligible for review or a refund.
