A Fort Lauderdale Sprinter van rental through Elly8.net comes with a chauffeur and a fixed price: US$315 from FLL to Fort Lauderdale Beach, US$190 an hour as directed with a 3-hour minimum, US$1,050 for the 6-hour Palm Beach and Worth Avenue day and US$1,400 for a full 8-hour day. The Executive Sprinter seats up to 12 passengers with room for 12 bags, so one vehicle replaces two or three cars.
Fort Lauderdale is a Sprinter city. The airport, the cruise port, the marinas and the convention center sit within a few miles of each other, and the people moving between them often travel in groups with a lot of luggage: cruise families, yacht crews, boat show buyers, wedding guests and golf trips. This guide explains what the vehicle carries, what it costs for each kind of trip, and the booking details that keep the day on time.

The vehicle: what a Sprinter carries
The Executive Sprinter on the Elly8.net fleet page is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter executive van with seats for up to 12 passengers and space for 12 bags. Partner vehicles are four model years old or newer. For smaller VIP groups, a Jet Sprinter with captain's chairs seats up to 6 with 4 bags and is priced in the web booker.
How it compares with the alternatives in Fort Lauderdale:
- Two Business SUVs carry up to 12 people and 12 bags as well, for US$320 from FLL to the beach against US$315 for one Sprinter. The Sprinter keeps the group together and needs one driver and one pickup point.
- A party bus seats up to 12 but holds only 2 bags, so it is built for nights out, not airports or cruise days. Our Fort Lauderdale party bus guide covers that side.
- A self-drive rental van is cheaper by the day, but someone has to drive, park at the cruise terminal or the marina, and return it to the Rental Car Center before a flight.
Our Sprinter van with driver page explains the class in every city.
Cruise days at Port Everglades
Port Everglades is about 1.8 miles from FLL, according to the port, which makes it one of the shortest airport-to-ship transfers anywhere. For a family of five or a multi-generation group with a week of luggage, that short distance is exactly why a single large vehicle makes sense: the challenge is the bags and the terminal roads, not the miles.
Three port rules shape the booking, all from Port Everglades' arriving and departing guide:
- Photo ID for everyone 18 and over at the security checkpoint before entering the port, including in a private vehicle. Keep passports in a carry-on, not in checked cases.
- Arrive at your assigned check-in time, not earlier. The port asks passengers not to arrive before the cruise line's time, to keep the terminals moving. The desk works the pickup back from it.
- Porters on return. On disembarkation day, porters hired by the cruise line can take bags to private cars and limousines. Your chauffeur waits at the agreed pickup area.
If the ship sails from PortMiami instead, the Sprinter runs the longer I-95 drive; that trip is priced in the web booker, and our cruise port transfers page covers both ports.
Boat show week
The 67th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs from October 28 to November 1, 2026, across six locations: the Broward County Convention Center, Bahia Mar Yachting Center, Hall of Fame Marina, Las Olas Marina, Pier Sixty-Six Marina and the Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty-Six South, according to the show's official site. Show hours are noon to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
That spread is why brokers, buyers and corporate hospitality teams book Sprinters by the day during the show. A full 8-hour day at US$1,400 or a 10-hour roadshow day at US$1,710 moves a group of up to 12 between marinas, lunch and an evening dinner without anyone looking for parking. Boat show week is the busiest of the year for hourly vehicles in Fort Lauderdale, so book as early as possible.
Yacht crews, golf groups and conventions
Crew changes. Fort Lauderdale's marine industry means crew flying in and out with two weeks of kit. A Sprinter from FLL straight to the yard or marina, with the bags, is the usual pattern. Yacht management companies can book and invoice crew transfers on a travel agent account.
Golf trips. Golf bags are the classic Sprinter cargo. Four to eight players with clubs fill an SUV quickly; a Sprinter carries the group and the bags in one run. Enter the course address in the web booker for a fixed point-to-point price, or book hourly for a round with the van waiting.
Conventions. The Broward County Convention Center sits beside Port Everglades with 1.2 million square feet of space and an 801-room Omni headquarters hotel. For exhibitor teams staying at beach hotels, a Sprinter on an hourly booking runs the morning and evening loops; for larger events, see conference transportation.
Weddings and celebrations
Beachfront hotels and waterfront venues make Fort Lauderdale a busy wedding city, and a Sprinter is the standard guest shuttle: hotel to ceremony, ceremony to reception, reception back to the hotels. On the 5-hour evening package at US$950, one Sprinter moves up to 12 guests; two Sprinters cover a larger wedding party. The couple usually travels separately in a First Class Sedan. See wedding limousine and group transportation for how several vehicles run on one schedule.
Game nights, concerts and shows
A Sprinter is also the calm way to move a group to a big event. The Florida Panthers play at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, which also hosts touring concerts; south of the airport, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood has Hard Rock Live and The Guitar Hotel; and downtown, the Broward Center for the Performing Arts stages Broadway tours and concerts. Arena and casino car parks empty slowly after a show. On the 5-hour evening package, the chauffeur drops the group at the entrance, waits, and meets everyone at an agreed exit, so nobody has to find a car in a garage at 11 p.m.
A cruise weekend, costed
Here is how the numbers work for a family group of ten sailing from Port Everglades on a Saturday. Friday: an Executive Sprinter collects the group at FLL and drives to a beach hotel, US$315. Saturday: a short morning run from the hotel to the cruise terminal, timed to the check-in window and priced in the booker. The following Saturday: the Sprinter meets the group at the port pickup area after disembarkation and drives straight to FLL. Three rides, one vehicle size, every price fixed in advance, and the family never splits across two or three cars with the luggage divided between them.
The Palm Beach day by Sprinter
The signature Fort Lauderdale day trip is 6 hours in Palm Beach and on Worth Avenue, fixed at US$1,050 in an Executive Sprinter, or US$87.50 each with 12 aboard. The chauffeur drives up the coast, waits while the group shops and lunches, and brings everyone back with the bags. For a stay on the island itself, see Palm Beach car service.
Booking tips that save time
- Count bags, not just people. Twelve people with twelve large cases fill the Sprinter. If the group has more luggage, or cruise trunks and strollers, book a second vehicle for bags.
- Pick one meeting point. Hotel driveways along A1A are busy at check-in and check-out. A single lobby pickup is quicker than four separate addresses; if you need several, enter each one in the booker.
- Give the flight and the ship. For cruise days, both. The desk times the pickup to the boarding window.
- Ask for child seats in advance. Florida law, section 316.613, requires a crash-tested child restraint for children 5 and younger. Seats are fitted on request when you book.
- Book packages for long days. Beyond seven hours, the 8-hour full day costs less than eight hourly blocks.
- Book early for peak weeks. Boat show week, cruise Saturdays in winter and spring holiday weeks fill first, and free cancellation runs until 72 hours before pickup, so an early booking costs nothing if plans change.

Frequently asked questions
How many people fit in a Sprinter van in Fort Lauderdale?
The Elly8.net Executive Sprinter seats up to 12 passengers with space for 12 bags. For more people, book two Sprinters on one reservation, and the desk times them to travel together. For six VIP passengers, the Jet Sprinter with captain's chairs is priced in the web booker.
How much is a Sprinter from FLL to Port Everglades?
The port is about 1.8 miles from the airport, and the Sprinter fare for that trip is shown in the web booker as a fixed, all-in price. For comparison, the fixed Sprinter fare from FLL to Fort Lauderdale Beach is US$315, and the round trip is US$600.
Can we rent a Sprinter for the boat show?
Yes. During the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28 to November 1, 2026, groups book the Sprinter by the hour at US$190, for a full 8-hour day at US$1,400 or for a 10-hour day at US$1,710. Boat show week is the busiest of the year, so book early.
Is a Sprinter cheaper than two SUVs?
On the airport run it is about the same: one Sprinter is US$315 from FLL to the beach, two Business SUVs are US$320. The Sprinter keeps the group together with one pickup point. On hourly days, one Sprinter at US$190 an hour is cheaper than two SUVs at US$120 each.
Can the Sprinter wait while we shop or play golf?
Yes. Book by the hour or a package, and the chauffeur waits at each stop. The 6-hour Palm Beach and Worth Avenue day at US$1,050 is built around shopping and lunch, and an hourly or full-day booking suits a round of golf with the van waiting.
Do you have child seats for the Sprinter?
Yes, on request. Give each child's age and weight when you book so the right seats are fitted before pickup. Florida law requires a crash-tested restraint for children 5 and younger, and the county notes that airport transportation providers cannot supply seats at the curb.
