Port Everglades transportation with ART Executive Services gets you from the airport, a hotel or your home to the curb outside your cruise terminal in a private car. The port sits right beside Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, so the transfer from FLL is one of the shortest cruise rides in South Florida. This page covers starting fares, the security checkpoint at the port entrance, terminal numbers and pickups after your cruise.

One-way starting fares. Fares include tolls. A 20% gratuity is added to the fare. Child seats are $20 each per transfer. The MIA row is our starting fare to Fort Lauderdale; your quote confirms the exact fare to your terminal after we review addresses, date, pickup time and availability.
Hotel and home pickups are quoted by address. If you are flying into Fort Lauderdale and staying on before or after the cruise, our Fort Lauderdale airport transportation page lists fares from FLL to Miami, Boca Raton and Palm Beach as well.
From Fort Lauderdale Airport to Port Everglades
The airport and the port are neighbors, which makes Fort Lauderdale airport to Port Everglades a short drive. FLL has four terminals, numbered 1 to 4. Give us your flight number and terminal, and we track the flight so your chauffeur works to the actual landing time. Meet and greet arrangements are confirmed with your quote.
Complimentary waiting is 60 minutes after a domestic landing and 90 minutes after an international one, counted from the actual arrival, and an airline delay alone is never your waiting time. Cruise luggage is bulky, so tell us how many bags you have and we send a vehicle with room for them. Our FLL terminals pickup guide explains the arrivals side of the airport.
FLL to Port Everglades on sailing day
The ride is short, but a delayed flight is not. Many cruisers land the day before; if you fly in on sailing day, tell us your check-in window so we can plan around it.
Security checkpoints and your terminal number
Port Everglades is a secure port with security checkpoints at its entrances. Officers may ask each adult in the car for a government-issued photo ID along with cruise documents. Keep IDs in a handbag or pocket rather than packed in a suitcase, so the stop at the gate stays short.
The port has three entrances: the 17th Street Causeway, State Road 84 and Eller Drive from I-595. Cruise terminals are numbered, and the numbers do not run in order along the waterfront. Find your terminal number on your cruise documents and include it when you book. Our Port Everglades terminal map guide shows the layout, and the official Port Everglades website posts current notices.
How Port Everglades transportation works on sailing day
01
Book with your sailing details
Send your cruise line, ship, terminal number, sailing date, pickup address, passengers and bags.
02
We confirm
We confirm the vehicle, price and pickup time; until then, a quote request is an inquiry, not a reservation.
03
Ride to the port
Your chauffeur loads the bags and drives to the entrance that suits your terminal.
04
Checkpoint and curb
After the security check, you step out at your terminal curb, where porters usually take tagged luggage.
Your cruise line sets the check-in window, and we plan the pickup around it. Days when several ships sail at once can be busier at the gates and along the terminal roads, so we allow for that when we set your time.
Pre-cruise nights in Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas and Hollywood
Staying nearby the night before keeps sailing morning simple. Hotels around the airport and the 17th Street area sit closest to the port. Fort Lauderdale beach and Las Olas Boulevard put you nearer dinner and the water, while Hollywood and Hallandale Beach suit travelers who want a quieter stretch of sand. Port Everglades transportation from any of them is quoted by address.
We can book your airport-to-hotel ride and your hotel-to-terminal ride in one request. For a car to dinner on Las Olas the night before, see our Fort Lauderdale limo service.
Disembarkation pickups at Port Everglades
On the last morning, guests leave the ship in groups, collect their bags and clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection inside the terminal. Send us your ship, return date and disembarkation time or group. Message us when you have your luggage, and your chauffeur meets you at the agreed pickup point.
Port Everglades transportation after the cruise can take you to FLL for a flight, to a hotel for another night, or home anywhere in South Florida. Flying out of Miami? Give us your flight time and we plan a sensible margin. Flying out of Palm Beach Airport (DJT, formerly PBI)? That ride is quoted on request. Waiting follows our Reservation & Cancellation Policy.
Port Everglades car service for families and groups
Child seats are $20 each per transfer. Tell us each child’s age and weight so we bring the right seat, and list strollers and extra bags, because they all affect which vehicle fits.
For Port Everglades transportation with a larger party, we arrange Sprinters, passenger vans and mini coaches so the group reaches the terminal together, with fit confirmed in your quote. See group transportation, or compare both ports on our cruise port transportation overview.

Port Everglades questions
How far is Port Everglades from Fort Lauderdale airport?
Very close. The port sits right beside Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, so it is a short drive. Timing still depends on traffic, your terminal and how busy the port gates are, which is why we plan the pickup around your check-in window rather than the distance alone.
How much is a private car from FLL to Port Everglades?
FLL to Port Everglades starts at $100 in a Luxury Sedan and $125 in a Luxury SUV, in either direction. Premium SUVs are quoted on request. Fares include tolls, a 20% gratuity is added, and child seats are $20 each per transfer.
Do I need ID to enter Port Everglades?
Expect a security checkpoint at the port entrance. Have a government-issued photo ID ready for each adult in the car, along with your cruise documents, in case officers ask. Keeping them in a bag you carry makes the stop quicker than digging through luggage.
Can you take us from Port Everglades to Miami International Airport?
Yes. Send your ship’s return date, your disembarkation time and your flight time, and we quote the ride and plan the pickup with a sensible margin. The MIA to Fort Lauderdale starting fare above is a guide, and your quote confirms the exact fare.
Which terminal does my cruise use?
Your cruise line assigns the terminal number for each sailing, and it can change from one trip to the next. Check your boarding documents and include the number when you book. Our terminal map guide shows where each numbered terminal sits within the port.
