What is the best way to get from Port Everglades to Universal Orlando?

From Port Everglades to Universal Orlando is about 215 miles by road, a drive across the state that starts at the ship and ends at a hotel or a park gate. It is long enough that the choices are a rental car you collect after the ship, a shuttle that waits to fill, an app fare a driver has to accept, or a car booked ahead.

Port Everglades says porters hired by a cruise line can deliver bags to private cars, taxis and limousines at the terminal, and that luggage cannot be left or stored at the port (Port Everglades, n.d.). So the bags come off the ship with you and ride with you, and a week of cruise luggage decides the vehicle more than the headcount does.

Tell the desk whether you are going to one of the on-site hotels, a hotel nearby or the parks themselves, because the drop-off differs. If you are travelling with children, ask about a car seat when you book (see the answer on car seats), and say how many cases you have, because a family's luggage decides the vehicle more than the headcount does.

An Executive Sedan holds 2; a Luxury SUV holds 5; an Executive Sprinter holds 12. Say the ship, the hotel and how many cases when you book, and book the way back together if you are returning to Fort Lauderdale for the flight.

Booked ahead, it is one captain and one fare agreed before the car moves. The fare beside this page is for 215 miles; the fare for your trip is set when the exact addresses are routed, and you see it before you book.
