A private transfer between MIA Airport and Cambria Hotel Ft. Lauderdale, Airport South & Cruise Port spans 24.7 miles (39.7 km) and takes roughly 42 to 50 minutes in a Black SUV or private van, at a fixed price from $120 per vehicle. Your driver watches your inbound flight, greets you curbside at the terminal, and takes the I-95 Express corridor (I-95 EXPR) directly to your door.
Select the vehicle that fits your group; every rate is per vehicle and locked the moment you book.
We operate private vehicles only, matched to your headcount. Pick the tier that suits your party and bags; its fare is listed in the price table above.
Expect about 42 to 50 minutes door to door, from off-peak to peak. The 24.7-mile route departs MIA, merges onto the express corridor heading north, and arrives at the airport-south and cruise-port district with no route changes along the way. Quieter midday and late-evening conditions keep the ride near the fast end, while morning and afternoon rush hours, along with event or cruise-day traffic, drive it toward the slower end. Since the fare is set when you book, those additional minutes never affect what you pay, even in heavy traffic. The driver factors realistic timing into your pickup window, so a congested stretch of highway won’t threaten your check-in or sailing. If you’re working against a firm deadline, mention it at booking and we schedule the pickup earlier to build in a comfortable cushion.
It does. Off-peak the ride stays near 42 minutes, while rush hour and cruise-day congestion can add a few minutes and bring it closer to 50. Either way the price is unchanged, because it’s locked per vehicle at booking, so traffic never sets off a surge or a recalculated fare.
The included pickup is curbside: your driver, having followed your flight in real time, is ready at the curb as you step out of the terminal. Prefer to be met inside with a name sign? An in-terminal meet-and-greet is available as an optional paid add-on. Either way, the same driver takes you to the hotel entrance.
Book a single private vehicle and one driver manages the entire door-to-door run north. Begin by picking a tier: a Black SUV seats up to 5 guests, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van takes 6 to 9, and a larger Sprinter holds 10 to 14. Send us your flight number, terminal, and group size over WhatsApp, and we confirm the vehicle and pickup window for your arrival. On the day, the driver monitors your inbound flight live and stands at the curb as you walk out, so there’s no app to launch and no car to summon. Leaving MIA, the route climbs the expressway corridor toward the airport-south and cruise-port district and ends at the hotel entrance. A single reservation covers your whole group and the entire distance, with no transfers, no waiting on other riders, and no second leg to organize.
Reach us over WhatsApp or email with your date, flight number, terminal, passenger count, and any extra bags. We respond with the matching vehicle and a confirmed pickup window. A 50% deposit holds the booking; the rest is paid to the driver on trip day. The price you’re quoted never shifts once you confirm.
The hotel is set in the airport-south and cruise-port district of Fort Lauderdale, a handy base for flyers and cruise passengers alike. Its surroundings form a flat, easy-to-navigate corridor of hotels, parking lots, dining, and marine and aviation businesses, all organized around fast access to both the regional airport and the cruise terminals. This is a working, transit-focused part of the city rather than a beachfront enclave, which makes it convenient for early sailings and morning departures. Find out more on the hotel’s Visit Lauderdale listing or on the Cambria Hotel official site. Our driver delivers you right to the front entrance, so you step out just steps from check-in with your bags in hand.
The district favors convenience over sightseeing: casual restaurants, coffee stops, and shops sit within a short ride, and the cruise-port and waterway sections of Fort Lauderdale fall within the wider neighborhood. It’s well suited to guests who want food and rest close to their gate or gangway rather than a lengthy outing.
The hotel lies between the airport-south zone and the cruise-port waterfront, with downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach corridor reachable by car. We refer to these as general areas because exact drive distances vary; if you’d like a return run to any of them, we can quote that route separately over WhatsApp.
The flat fare covers the whole ride plus the costs that often catch guests off guard. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all folded into the price, so nothing extra is added for the express lanes heading up. Real-time flight tracking is included, and the standard curbside pickup means the driver is ready as you exit the terminal. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, keeping you connected from MIA to the door. Your fare also covers a standard luggage allowance and the bilingual driver. Whatever is quoted at booking is what you pay, with extras handled only on request.
An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on rather than part of the standard curbside pickup. Child seats beyond the first carry an added fee confirmed at booking, and extra or oversized bags may call for a larger van. Each is arranged ahead of time so nothing catches you by surprise.
Small pets can come along with advance notice over WhatsApp and must travel in a pet carrier. For kids, the first child seat for a passenger under 5 is provided at no extra cost; any additional seat carries a fee we confirm when you book. Let us know both needs ahead of time so the vehicle is ready.
The standard allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the vehicle is sized to your group so the bags travel with you. Bringing extra or oversized luggage? Message us in advance on WhatsApp and we confirm the room or move you up to a larger van. Nothing gets left behind.
The fare is per vehicle, never per person. Your entire group rides for the single flat price shown in the list above, whether you fill an SUV or a van. Adding passengers within a vehicle’s capacity doesn’t raise the cost; you only step up a tier once the group outgrows the smaller vehicle.
A private shuttle to the hotel is one of our private Sprinter vans, priced per vehicle at the fixed price listed above for the 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger tier. It’s never a shared or pooled ride; the van is reserved for your group alone, and a round trip is simply double the one-way fare.
Payment is split so you’re never billed everything up front. We take Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash is welcome for nearby, close-in pickups. A round trip is just double the one-way price for the same route.
The 50% deposit is due at booking and locks in your vehicle, your pickup window, and your quoted price. The other 50% is paid straight to the driver on the day of travel, by your chosen method. Nothing about the fare changes between the deposit and the trip.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small added charge, applied once per trip.
Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically, with no extra fee for re-timing. Land early or late and the car is timed to your actual arrival rather than the original schedule. There’s no need to call ahead or re-book; the tracking handles the change for you.
One private vehicle is held for your group alone, with a flat fare fixed the moment you book. There’s no surge pricing, no fare that climbs with demand, and never a shared or pooled ride with strangers. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps coordination easy from the very first message. You reach us directly over WhatsApp, so any change to your flight or pickup goes straight to a person instead of into an app queue. Every part of your trip is arranged before you arrive: the right-sized vehicle, the confirmed pickup window, and a quoted price that stays put. That coordination is what separates a transfer planned around your itinerary from a car you scramble to find after landing.
The driver is assigned to your booking, speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and coordinates with you directly over WhatsApp before pickup. You’re not handed off to a random nearby car; the same driver and vehicle are reserved for your group from the airport curb to the hotel entrance.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
