A private black car ride to or from Port of Miami and Lazy Lake runs at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle, in a chauffeured Black SUV for up to 5 or a private van for 6 to 14. The journey heads north from the PortMiami cruise terminal along the I-95 corridor into Broward County, with a bilingual driver, luggage assist, and a fare locked at booking.
Here is the flat, per-vehicle price to or from the port and Lazy Lake — you book the whole vehicle and your whole group rides for one figure:
The top way is a private door-to-door transfer matched to your group size. Choose the Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 — you reserve the whole vehicle. Your driver meets you curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as you walk off the ship, loads your cruise luggage, and drives straight to your Lazy Lake address with no stops to collect other passengers. There is ample room for the bags a cruise generates, so nobody rides with a suitcase on their lap. Booking is done directly on WhatsApp: send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and pickup preference, ideally at least 24 hours ahead, and we assign the vehicle and driver to your itinerary. Arriving or departing, the ground leg between ship and address stays one simple, private hop.
Several concrete things set this transfer apart for cruise travelers. The fare is a flat rate locked when you book — it does not move for traffic, demand, or a late ship, so the price you agree to is final. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) handles the whole run, which helps when you’re coordinating a family or a large group fresh off the ship. You book directly through WhatsApp, so there is a real person on the other end rather than an app queue, and the same driver loads and unloads your cruise luggage at both ends. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone and runs straight door to door — from the terminal curb to your address in Lazy Lake. For arriving and departing passengers juggling luggage and a tight sailing schedule, that combination of a fixed price, a named driver, and direct contact keeps the ground leg simple.
Drive time depends entirely on when your ship clears and how the road is moving, since this run heads north out of PortMiami into Broward County. Off-peak — mid-morning after the first rush, or early afternoon — the trip is swift and steady. It stretches when weekday commuter traffic builds and, especially, on mornings when several ships disembark into the same window and the roads around the port fill at once. Rather than promise a rushed clock, we schedule the departure around your ship and the day’s traffic pattern, so a slower stretch of highway never leaves you stranded. Your driver keeps you updated on WhatsApp if conditions shift. For a departing sailing, we build in relaxing margin so you reach the terminal with time to check in, never sprinting to make the gangway.
Lazy Lake is one of Florida’s smallest incorporated municipalities, a tiny residential village entirely surrounded by Wilton Manors in Broward County, just outside Fort Lauderdale. There is essentially no commerce inside its borders — the village is a cluster of private homes arranged along quiet, tree-shaded lanes around the small lake that gives it its name. Lazy Lane is effectively the community’s single through street. The mood is calm and strictly residential, a pocket of stillness ringed by the far livelier Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale around it. If you’re being dropped here after a cruise, you’re arriving at a private, low-key address rather than a resort strip. For background on the village, see the Village of Lazy Lake official site and Visit Lauderdale’s Lazy Lake guide.
Lazy Lake itself is residential, so overnight visitors generally look to the surrounding areas. The neighboring Wilton Manors district and greater Fort Lauderdale offer the closest concentration of lodging, dining, and nightlife, while the downtown Fort Lauderdale area sits within easy reach. We drop you at your exact Lazy Lake address; from there the wider Broward scene is all around.
Because the village is purely residential, the attractions are in the neighborhoods around it. Wilton Manors is known for its walkable strip of restaurants, bars, and arts venues, and the broader Fort Lauderdale area brings beaches, waterways, and shopping. It’s a quiet home base with plenty of Broward County activity a short hop away.
Your quoted rate covers the full private ride and the essentials cruise travelers actually require. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built in, so nothing is collected mid-route. Your driver meets the group curbside at the terminal, helps load and unload every bag, and stays in contact through WhatsApp. Courtesy waiting is part of the deal — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups; beyond that window, extra waiting is billed in half-hour blocks. What the rate does not cover is spelled out below so there are no surprises at drop-off.
Gratuity for your driver is optional and always appreciated, never added automatically. Food and drinks, parking fees, and any unscheduled stop fall outside the flat rate. A short stop arranged ahead of time can usually be worked in, though a small fee may apply. Everything else quoted stays exactly as booked.
Onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot is included on every transfer. Small pets are welcome too, with advance notice on WhatsApp, and travel in a pet carrier. Let us know your pet is coming when you book so the driver expects it and there’s no hold-up at the curb.
Payment is handled before or on the day of journey. You can pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or through the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though cash can settle the driver’s balance on close-in Miami-side trips. A round trip is billed as double the one-way price, booked as one reservation so both legs are locked together. Whichever method you choose, the total is the rate agreed at booking. Send your details on WhatsApp and we’ll return the payment choice that suits you.
For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Because Lazy Lake sits in Broward County, a reverse pickup from there is a farther-area run and is paid in full in advance.
Cabins booked under separate reservations rarely land in the same walk-off group, so part of a family can be standing on the pier while the rest are still upstairs in a lounge. Decide before the last night whether the vehicle holds for everyone or whether the first out wait inside with the bags. Either plan works — we just need to know which one, and the headcount that will actually ride.
Three private vehicle classes cover every cruise party, and you book the whole vehicle, not a seat. Pick by headcount and the amount of cruise luggage you’re carrying.
Yes — this is a dedicated private black car service running to or from the PortMiami cruise terminal and Lazy Lake. You ride in a chauffeured Black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14, consistently reserved for your group alone — never shared or pooled with strangers. Your bilingual driver handles the northbound route into Broward County, meets you curbside, and loads your cruise luggage. This is a point-to-point cruise-port transfer serving passengers arriving at or departing from PortMiami — private from the first mile to the last, door to door. Because the vehicle belongs to your group for the whole ride, there is no waiting on a shared schedule and no detours to collect other riders. Message us with your ship name, date, and group size on WhatsApp, and we’ll set the whole thing up around your itinerary.
Yes — disembarkation day is exactly what this transfer is built for. Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival and debark timing, so if the vessel docks late the pickup re-times at no extra cost — you never lose the fare or scramble to rebook. From the agreed pickup time we include 30 minutes of courtesy waiting at the cruise terminal, which comfortably covers customs, baggage claim, and the walk out. Because several ships frequently empty within the same window, curbside can be crowded, so we position your driver where the group can regroup and load calmly. Whether you’re heading straight to Lazy Lake after your cruise or catching us for the reverse run back to the port, one message on WhatsApp locks the plan. Book at least 24 hours ahead when you can, and we’ll have the vehicle and driver assigned well before your ship touches the dock.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Pickups outside that window add a small amount so a driver is scheduled for the off-hours run:
Swift answers to the questions we hear most from passengers booking the Lazy Lake run.
Your driver meets your group curbside right outside the PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp beforehand. They help load your cruise luggage, so you walk straight from the ship to a waiting Black SUV or private van with no line.
We confirm most reservations quickly once your date, group size, and pickup time reach us on WhatsApp or the website. Book at least 24 hours ahead for a guaranteed slot; a same-day request under 24 hours is still reviewed by hand, though availability can’t be promised.
Yes. The day before your trip we text your driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, along with clear pickup instructions. You always know exactly who and which vehicle to look for, so there is no guessing at the terminal on a busy disembarkation morning.
Yes. The first child seat for a child under 5 is free; each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Tell us your children’s ages and how many seats you need on WhatsApp in advance so the correct seats are installed before pickup.
Each passenger brings 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price listed above, whether you book the private SUV or a larger private van. A round trip is simply double the one-way, and the fare stays locked from the moment you book.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Sailings get shuffled: a swapped return date, a rerouted itinerary, a flight moved during storm season. Your booking is tied to a day and a pickup time rather than to one specific car, so as soon as the cruise line confirms the new arrangement, send it over on WhatsApp and we fit the run into that day’s schedule instead of starting the reservation from scratch.
Lock in your Port of Miami to Lazy Lake transfer before you sail. Send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and pickup time on WhatsApp or by email, and we’ll confirm the vehicle, the driver, and your rate. Book at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest arrangement; cancellations with 24 or more hours’ notice are fully refundable. Reach out and we’ll take care of the rest.
