What is the best way to get from Port Everglades to Miami International Airport?

From Port Everglades to Miami International Airport (MIA) is about 30 miles by road, cruise-terminal area to airport. The morning a cruise ends is the busiest hour a port has: thousands of people and their luggage reach the same road inside a short window, and the difference between a good morning and a bad one is whether a named car is waiting at an agreed point or you are joining a queue.

Many people sail from Port Everglades and fly home from Miami, because the flight they found was cheaper or later. Port Everglades says porters hired by a cruise line can deliver bags to private cars, taxis and limousines at the terminal, that people collecting returning guests may wait free in its cell phone lot until called, and that luggage cannot be left or stored at the port (Port Everglades, n.d.). Miami International lists where pre-arranged and on-demand ground transportation leave from (Miami-Dade Aviation Department, n.d.). The drive crosses Broward and Miami-Dade at the same hour as everyone else leaving the ship, so the pickup is set backwards from the flight with room to spare.

Give the desk your ship, the terminal if your cruise line has told you which, and your flight. The pickup is set backwards from the time you need to be at the airport, not forwards from when the ship docks, and the captain is at the agreed point with your name. Say how many cases: an Executive Sedan holds 2; a Luxury SUV holds 5; an Executive Sprinter holds 12.

The fare beside this page is for 30 miles, with the 20% service charge already in it. The fare for your trip is set when the exact addresses are routed, and you see it before you book. Booking the ride to the ship and the ride home together is one conversation and one confirmation.
