Fort Lauderdale to PortMiami group shuttle
Thirty miles down I-95 that behave completely differently at six in the morning than at eight, which is the entire planning problem.

Fort Lauderdale to PortMiami
Plenty of Broward groups sail from PortMiami rather than Port Everglades, usually because the itinerary or the ship is the deciding factor rather than the port. That puts thirty miles of I-95 between the hotel and the terminal, and I-95 through this corridor is one of the more variable stretches of road in the state.
The variance is the whole issue. Leave at six and the run takes forty-five minutes. Leave at eight and you are in the tail of the southbound commute with a boarding window closing, which turns a comfortable morning into a tense one. The correct departure time is the single most valuable thing an operator who works this corridor daily can tell you.
We run both directions of this route constantly, so we plan backward from your boarding window using the departure time that actually works rather than the one that looks reasonable on a map. For a group of thirty with cruise luggage, that beats convoying several cars down the highway and then trying to park them all for a week.
At a glance
Distance: About 30 miles
Typical time: 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on departure time
Best for: Broward groups sailing from Miami rather than Port Everglades
When to leave
Early departures are strongly preferable on this route. We would rather have your group at the terminal comfortably ahead of the boarding window than gamble on the southbound commute clearing in time.
What decides this run
Departure time decides it
The same thirty miles takes forty-five minutes or ninety. We pick the departure that clears the commute.
Multi-hotel pickups
Broward groups are usually spread across several properties. We sequence the stops so nobody rides the whole route.
Terminal staging
PortMiami assigns terminals by line. Send the ship name and we stage at the correct one.
Parking math
A week in a PortMiami garage across several cars usually exceeds the cost of the coach on its own.

About the Fort Lauderdale to PortMiami run
How long does it take from Fort Lauderdale to PortMiami?
Forty-five minutes if you leave early enough, up to ninety in the southbound commute. The distance is fixed at around thirty miles and the departure time does all the work.
Should we sail from Port Everglades instead?
If the itinerary and the ship suit you, it is a far shorter run. Most groups choose the port their cruise line uses rather than the closer one, and we cover both.
Can you collect from several Broward hotels?
Yes, and multi-stop pickups are normal here. Send the properties and the earliest guest, and we will sequence the route so the first pickup is not sitting through the whole thing.
Is the coach cheaper than driving and parking?
For a group, almost always. Port garage rates over a week across several vehicles add up quickly, and nobody has to drive north on I-95 the morning everyone disembarks tired.
Running this route?
Send the date, the headcount, and the time it actually has to happen. We will come back with one flat number.
