FLL to Port Everglades
The shortest airport-to-ship transfer in Florida — barely two miles — and the one most people underestimate on a group day.
What this transfer costs
This route is not on our published airport rate table, so we price it individually rather than quote you a number that does not fit the trip. Tell us the pickup address, the date and how many are travelling and you will have a flat price back the same day. Like every fare we quote, the price we give is the price you pay.

The FLL to Port Everglades shuttle is the shortest airport-to-ship run in Florida. Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International and Port Everglades are effectively neighbours — the runway and the cruise terminals are about two miles apart. On a quiet morning the drive is five minutes.
So why book a vehicle at all? Because on a Sunday morning in season, with several ships turning around, the roads around SE 17th Street and the terminal approaches get genuinely congested, and because getting six people plus a week of luggage into a rideshare is its own problem. The distance is trivial; the logistics are not.
How the pickup works at FLL
Your driver meets you at the pre-arranged pickup point for your terminal — we send the exact spot and his mobile number the night before. From there it is a short run over to whichever Port Everglades terminal your ship is using.
Because the drive is so short, we hold the vehicle for you rather than circling. Send the flight number and we will track it.

Good to know
Questions about this route.
Is it worth booking a transfer for two miles?
For one or two people travelling light, honestly, a taxi from the rank is fine. For a family with luggage, or any group over four, a pre-booked vehicle is faster, cheaper per head and far less stressful — and it is guaranteed to be there.
How early should I land before my cruise?
Because the transfer is so short, landing three hours before boarding closes is comfortable here — the most relaxed airport-to-ship combination in Florida.
Which Port Everglades terminal do I need?
It depends on the ship, and assignments change. Tell us the cruise line and sailing date and we will confirm it before the day.
Can you collect several flights?
Yes. For groups arriving on different flights we either wait or run multiple pickups — send us the flight numbers and we will work it out.
