MIA Airport to Cambria Hotel Ft. Lauderdale, Airport South & Cruise Port is 24.7 miles in about 42 to 50 minutes, up the I-95 Express, from a fixed $140 per car.
Take whichever vehicle suits the party. Each figure prices the car rather than the passenger, and it is settled the moment you book.
The right tier turns less on where you are going than on how the group needs to move together. A couple or a family up to five takes the SUV and arrives at the hotel drive as a single unit. From six upward, the Sprinter keeps a work crew or extended family in one cabin instead of dividing them between two cars — which counts on a morning when everyone must reach the same desk at the same hour. Beyond ten, the bigger Sprinter does the same with no second driver to keep in step.
The kerb is what the fare covers — your driver is there as you come out of the terminal. Would a name board inside work better? An in-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on. Whichever you pick, the one driver carries you all the way to the hotel entrance.
The inbound is followed live and the pickup moves with it, at no charge for re-timing. Land early or well behind, and the car keys off your real arrival rather than the printed time. No call is required and nothing is re-booked — the tracking takes care of the change.
The flat fare pays for the whole ride and the costs that usually catch travellers out. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are built in, so the express lanes north add nothing to the total. Cabin WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, keeping you online the whole way. The standard bag allowance and the bilingual driver belong to it too. Whatever is quoted at booking is what you pay, with extras handled only when you ask.
A name-board meet inside the terminal is an optional paid add-on rather than the default kerbside setup. Child seats past the first carry a fee confirmed at booking, and extra or oversized bags may need a larger van. All of it is squared away in advance, so nothing surprises you.
Small pets travel with prior notice over WhatsApp, riding in a carrier. For children, a passenger under 5 gets the first child seat free, and any further seat carries a fee we confirm as you book. Flag both ahead of time and the vehicle is readied for them.
Reckon on 1 checked bag and 1 carry-on for each passenger, with the vehicle matched to your group so everything rides along. Arriving with oversized or extra luggage? WhatsApp us ahead and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. Nothing is left behind.
Expect 42 to 50 minutes door to door, off-peak through peak. Those 24.7 miles pull out of MIA, join the express corridor heading north, and finish in the airport-south and cruise-port district with no change of route. Quiet midday and late evening keep the ride near the quicker figure, while morning and afternoon rush, plus event or cruise-day traffic, pull it toward the slower. Your pickup window is set with realistic timing, so a jammed highway does not put a check-in or a sailing at risk. Up against a firm deadline? Say so at booking and the collection is moved earlier for a comfortable margin.
It does — which is what the range is for. Rush hour and cruise-day congestion add several minutes to the quiet-road version. The cost stays put either way, since it belongs to the vehicle and was agreed before you travelled, so traffic never sparks a surge or a recalculation.
Private vehicles are all we run, and the tier tracks your headcount. Choose the one matching your party and its bags; its fare sits in the price table above.
One vehicle is held for your group, and nothing about it is up for negotiation on the day — no surge, no fare rising with demand. The driver works English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so coordination stays simple from the first message. Contact runs straight over WhatsApp, so a changed flight or a moved pickup reaches a person rather than vanishing into an app queue. It is all settled before you arrive: the right-sized vehicle, a confirmed pickup window, a quoted price that stays where it was put.
Your driver is assigned to your booking specifically, speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and is in touch over WhatsApp before the pickup. Nobody passes you to whichever car is nearest — the same driver and the same vehicle stay with your group from the airport kerb to the hotel entrance.
Book one private vehicle and a single driver runs the whole northbound leg door to door. Start with the tier: a Black SUV up to 5, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 6 to 9, a larger Sprinter for 10 to 14. Send the flight number, terminal, and group size over WhatsApp, and the vehicle and pickup window come back confirmed. On the day the driver stands at the kerb as you exit, so no app to open and no car to summon. Out of MIA the route climbs the expressway corridor toward the airport-south and cruise-port district and ends at the hotel entrance — one reservation, your whole group, the full distance, nothing to transfer between.
Message us over WhatsApp or email with the date, flight number, terminal, headcount, and anything unusual in the bags. Back comes the matching vehicle and a confirmed pickup window. A 50% deposit holds it; the rest goes to the driver on trip day.
Yes — the same 24.7 miles in reverse, down the I-95 Express corridor, within that 42-to-50-minute band. What changes is the planning. Send your flight’s departure time or your boarding window and the collection at the hotel is set backward from it, so the cushion is there before the car ever leaves.
Between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM no surcharge applies. Anything outside that window carries a small added charge, once per trip.
The payment splits so nothing near the full amount is asked for up front. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure link are all fine, and cash suits close-in local pickups.
At booking. That 50% pins the vehicle, the pickup window, and the quoted amount at once. The remaining 50% passes to the driver on the day by whichever method you prefer, and nothing about the figure shifts in between.
By car, never by head. The single flat price above covers the whole group, SUV or van alike. Adding people within a vehicle’s capacity does not raise it; the only thing that bumps you up a tier is a group that has outgrown the smaller vehicle.
The shuttle here is one of our private Sprinter vans, priced per vehicle at the fixed price above for either the 6-to-9 or the 10-to-14 tier. It is never a pooled ride — that van is reserved for your group and nobody else.
The property sits in the airport-south and cruise-port district of Fort Lauderdale, which makes it a handy base for flyers and cruise passengers in equal measure. Around it is a flat, easily navigated corridor of hotels, parking lots, restaurants, and marine and aviation businesses, all organized around quick reach of the regional airport and the cruise terminals. This is a working, transit-minded slice of the city rather than a beachfront enclave — precisely what suits an early sailing or a dawn departure. There is more on the property’s Visit Lauderdale listing and on the Cambria Hotel official site. Our driver pulls up at the front entrance itself, so you step out a few paces from check-in with the bags already in hand.
Convenience beats sightseeing in this district: casual restaurants, coffee stops, and shops are a short ride off, and the cruise-port and waterway parts of Fort Lauderdale fall inside the wider neighborhood. It suits guests who want food and a bed near their gate or gangway rather than a long excursion.
The hotel holds the ground between the airport-south zone and the cruise-port waterfront, with downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach corridor both reachable by car. We call them general areas because driving distances change from address to address; if you want a return run out to any of them, we quote that route separately over WhatsApp.
A better-coordinated, more upscale arrangement — one flat fare, a named driver, a pickup timed to your flight — for a total well below Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Email: [email protected] | Phone/WhatsApp: +1 (305) 497-0440The address itself is on North Federal Highway in Dania Beach, worth knowing when you match the booking to a map: the property name points at Fort Lauderdale while the building stands in the smaller town beside it. The closing part of those 24.7 miles drops off the express lanes onto surface road for the final turn in.

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.

Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after arrival
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary wait time
Hotel pickups: 15-minute grace period

Definitely — our drivers help load and unload your luggage.

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.

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.
