Port Everglades makes an unusual claim on its own website: it is the only port in the nation located next to an airport. Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International sits about 1.8 miles away, which turns a fly-and-cruise day into a short ride, as long as the ride is ready when you are. NiagaraFallsLimo.net books Fort Lauderdale limo service, airport car service and party bus rental through one online booker, with a fixed all-in fare shown before you pay and a reservations desk that stays with the trip from start to finish.
How does Fort Lauderdale limo service work with NiagaraFallsLimo.net?
NiagaraFallsLimo.net books Fort Lauderdale limo and car service online: enter the pickup (FLL, a hotel, a Port Everglades cruise terminal or any address), drop-off and time, choose a vehicle and see the fixed all-in fare before paying. FLL to Port Everglades is about 1.8 miles (3 km), usually 10–20 minutes.
Point to point, return trips, multi-stop routes and "By the hour" are all modes in the booker. A cruise booking can hold the airport-to-ship run and the ship-to-airport return together, so nothing depends on finding a ride at 8 am on disembarkation day. Start on the booking page.
Our partner model in South Florida
The car you ride in Fort Lauderdale is not from a Niagara garage. It comes from an independent, licensed and commercially insured operator in the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network, selected for the city, while NiagaraFallsLimo.net remains your single point of contact for the booking, the payment and any change. Every class is "or similar", and availability is confirmed at booking because the fleet belongs to the local partner. The same standard runs through our Miami car service, Tampa limo service and all our US city pages.
Port Everglades cruise transfers
The port's getting here page sets out the basics:
- Three entrances: SE 17th St. at Eisenhower Blvd.; State Road 84 just east of U.S. 1, at Spangler Blvd.; and I-595 East at Eller Dr. Coming from the airport or a beach hotel, the chauffeur picks the gate that suits your terminal and the traffic.
- Security at every entrance. Each has a checkpoint where cruise guests and visitors aged 18 and older show government-issued photo ID (a driver's licence or passport) and cruise documents. Vehicles are subject to search, and no weapons are allowed on port property. Keep IDs in your hand, not in the trunk.
- Allow at least 45 minutes between your flight landing and your cruise check-in time, the port suggests, to collect bags and handle paperwork, even though the distance is short.
- Miami International is 30–45 minutes south via I-95 by the port's estimate, which matters if your flight lands at MIA instead.
On the way home, the port's arriving and departing guide says passengers typically leave the ship between 7 and 9 am, that porters hired by your cruise line can bring bags to private cars, taxis and limousines, and that airlines at FLL may only be able to check bags up to two hours before a flight. It also asks embarking guests not to arrive before their assigned check-in time.
Put your ship and terminal number in the booking notes. Port Everglades uses numbered cruise terminals, including 2, 4, 18, 19, 21, 25, 26 and 29, and the chauffeur goes straight to the right curb. Our cruise transfers page lists what to include.

FLL airport car service at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) has four terminals, numbered 1 to 4, and its ground transport is all on the lower level (Arrivals). From the airport's transportation page:
- Limousines, sedans and vans pick up in designated areas on the lower-level (Arrivals) curbside; follow the transportation signs. A Ground Transportation Booth in the baggage claim area answers questions.
- Construction is moving pickup areas. The airport has closed some ground transportation areas, including GTA 2 between Terminals 2 and 3, while it builds a post-security walkway linking those terminals, and redirects passengers by signage. Your chauffeur checks the current arrangement for your terminal.
- Rideshare picks up in designated lower-level areas and drops off on the upper level (Departures). Taxis have a podium at each terminal, with fares regulated by Broward County.
- Rental cars are in the Rental Car Center next to Terminal 1, linked to the terminals by courtesy shuttles around the clock.
With us, the flight is tracked and the chauffeur meets you where the confirmation says; add a meet and greet and the chauffeur waits inside with a name board. For private aircraft, the booker accepts any FBO address; see private jet FBO transfers.
Fort Lauderdale distances worth knowing
Route-planner figures, before traffic:
- FLL to downtown Fort Lauderdale (City Hall area): about 10 km (6 mi), usually 15–25 minutes.
- FLL to PortMiami: about 40 km (25 mi), usually 40–60 minutes. Handy when your cruise leaves from Miami but the flight into FLL was easier to find.
- FLL to Boca Raton: about 40 km (25 mi), usually 35–55 minutes.
- FLL to Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise: about 27 km (17 mi), usually 25–40 minutes.
Party bus and limo rental in Fort Lauderdale
- Florida Panthers games and concerts at Amerant Bank Arena, 1 Panther Parkway in Sunrise, west of the city (Amerant Bank Arena). A party bus or Sprinter makes the drive out and back as one group; agree the pickup point after the event in advance.
- Proms across Broward County. Spring dates fill early, and proms, long weekends and big weddings may carry a different cancellation deadline printed on the confirmation. See prom limo.
- Weddings on the beach or inland, where the couple's car and the wedding-party Sprinter need to run on the same timeline. See wedding limo.
- Bachelor and bachelorette nights with several stops, usually booked by the hour. The party bus class seats up to 12 with 2 bags; the Stretch SUV Limousine takes up to 16.
Passengers do not drink in our vehicles and chauffeurs never do; that house rule holds in every city we book. Want something to celebrate with afterwards? The booker can add a sealed bottle as a gift.
Black car service for conventions and business in Broward
The Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center stands on SE 17th St., right beside the Northport section of Port Everglades, and describes a venue of 1.2 million square feet with 350,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space (convention center). With cruise traffic using the same roads, a chauffeur who knows the port entrances saves real time on a show day.
For business travel, the usual mix is a sedan or Mercedes-Benz E / S-Class from FLL, an Executive Black SUV for clients, and "by the hour" for days with several meetings; read hourly chauffeur service for how waiting time works. Discretion comes with the job, and an NDA can be arranged.

FLL to the port: limo, taxi, rideshare or shuttle?
| Option | Door-to-door time, FLL to Port Everglades | Cost note | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi | Podium at your terminal, then a short ride | Average $18–$21 posted by the port (as of 2026) | Trunk only | Couples with two suitcases |
| Rideshare app | Lower-level zone, then wait | Surge pricing on cruise mornings | Varies | One or two people, light bags |
| Cruise line transfer | Shared coach | Sold by the cruise line | Generous | Passengers who booked it with the cruise |
| Tri-Rail plus shuttle | Free shuttle to the Dania Beach station, then the train | Public fare | Carry-on | Travel north or south, not the port |
| Private chauffeur (NiagaraFallsLimo.net) | Waits for your flight, drops at your terminal | Fixed fare via booker, shown before you pay | Sized to the class | Families, groups, tight connections |
Plain advice: for two people with ordinary luggage going from FLL straight to the ship, a taxi from the terminal podium is short and simple, and we would say so. A pre-booked car is the better call for families with car seats, groups who want one vehicle, a hotel night before the cruise, a cruise from PortMiami after landing at FLL, or a tight flight after disembarkation. More in chauffeur vs taxi vs rideshare.
Booking a Fort Lauderdale car in 3 steps
- Enter pickup and drop-off (FLL terminal, hotel, cruise terminal number, any address), date, time and flight number.
- Choose the vehicle; each class shows its fixed all-in fare for that trip.

Fort Lauderdale to Niagara Falls
By road, Fort Lauderdale to Niagara Falls, Ontario is about 2,215 km (1,376 mi), far more than a day's drive, so the way to do it is by air:
- FLL to Buffalo Niagara (BUF). Buffalo's airline listing shows nonstop service to Fort Lauderdale on JetBlue Airways and Southwest Airlines (BUF commercial carriers); confirm your dates with the airline. Then it is about 35–40 km (22–25 mi) from BUF to the Canadian side of the Falls, generally 40–50 minutes plus whatever the bridge brings. Book the Buffalo Niagara airport transfer or read the Buffalo to Niagara Falls Canada route.
- Or fly to Toronto Pearson (YYZ), clear customs, and ride about 125–135 km (78–84 mi), usually 1 h 20 to 1 h 40 off-peak. See Toronto Pearson to Niagara Falls.
Once you are in Niagara, our home ground, choose a private Niagara Falls tour, look through the hotels guide, or ask our travel desk to plan the stay.
Border documents for the Niagara leg
From Buffalo the chauffeur crosses into Canada with you, and each passenger carries their own documents. For US citizens, bring a passport; Canada's list also includes proof of citizenship like a US enhanced driver's licence, and NEXUS members may present their card. The full rules are in documents for entering Canada and our border crossing hub. Nobody can promise a crossing time, and we do not.
Cancellation and who it suits
Here is how cancellation works, measured from the scheduled pickup: free with more than 72 hours' notice, 10% at 72 hours or less, 50% at 48 hours or less, and 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show. Proms, long weekends and large weddings may follow a separate deadline, which your confirmation will show.
Individuals book FLL runs and convention days. Couples book the port transfer and a dinner out. Families choose an SUV for car seats and a week of cruise luggage; our page for families covers seats and timing. Groups book party buses, Sprinters and wedding cars and keep everyone on one confirmation.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a limo in Fort Lauderdale?
It depends on the vehicle, the distance and the hours. The booker shows the fixed all-in fare for your exact pickup, drop-off and vehicle before you pay, so you can compare a sedan, an SUV and a stretch limo in one go.
How far is Port Everglades from FLL airport?
About 1.8 miles by the port's own figure, usually a 10–20 minute drive to a terminal curb. The port still recommends allowing at least 45 minutes between landing and cruise check-in for bags and paperwork.
Where do pre-booked cars pick up at FLL?
In designated areas on the lower-level (Arrivals) curbside, following the transportation signs, with a Ground Transportation Booth in baggage claim. Construction has moved some pickup areas, so your confirmation and chauffeur give the current spot; add meet & greet for a name board inside.
Can you take us from FLL to a cruise at PortMiami?
Yes. FLL to PortMiami is about 40 km (25 mi), usually 40–60 minutes. Book it point to point with your ship's terminal in the notes, and leave extra time on busy cruise mornings.
What ID do we need to enter Port Everglades?
The port asks every cruise guest and visitor aged 18 and older to show government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's licence or passport, and cruise documents at the security checkpoint. Keep them with you in the car, not in a checked bag.
Can I book a car from Fort Lauderdale to Niagara Falls?
Not as a drive; it is about 2,215 km (1,376 mi). Fly FLL to Buffalo Niagara (BUF) or Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and book the last 35–135 km with us, flight-tracked, with the chauffeur crossing the border with you from Buffalo.
