Fort Lauderdale is compact by South Florida standards. The airport, the cruise port and the beach hotels sit within a few miles of each other, which is exactly why a pre-booked Fort Lauderdale limo or car service works so well here: short drives, fixed prices and no waiting in a taxi line with cruise luggage. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) to Fort Lauderdale Beach is US$120 in a Business Sedan and US$315 in an Executive Sprinter, all-in.
Rides in Fort Lauderdale are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk. Every price includes the chauffeur, the vehicle, taxes, standard gratuity and airport meet and greet, and partner vehicles are four model years old or newer.
What does an FLL car service to Fort Lauderdale Beach cost?
Elly8.net prices FLL to Fort Lauderdale Beach at US$120 in a Business Sedan, US$160 in a Business SUV, US$195 in a First Class SUV, US$210 in a First Class Sedan and US$315 in an Executive Sprinter. That is a fixed, all-in price per vehicle, with flight tracking and a chauffeur waiting inside arrivals.
The drive is about 8 mi (12 km), roughly 19 minutes on a clear road. On a Friday afternoon, a cruise turnaround morning or during the boat show, the desk allows 30 to 40 minutes because US 1, 17th Street and the beach bridges are where the slowdowns happen. The price stays the same either way.
A round trip from FLL to the beach is US$230 in a Business Sedan up to US$600 in an Executive Sprinter. The full grid is in the price panel on this page.
Arriving at FLL: terminals, curbs and meeting points
FLL has four terminals in a row along Terminal Drive, and the airport has been rebuilding parts of the arrivals roadway, so knowing where to go matters more than usual. Broward County publishes the current layout on its FLL ground transportation page, and the desk checks it before your flight.
Your Elly8.net chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you inside arrivals with a name board, then walks you to the pre-arranged pickup area on the lower level (Arrivals). Pre-booked sedans, SUVs and vans use designated curbside areas, and the airport runs Ground Transportation Booths in baggage claim during peak arrival periods. Complimentary waiting after a tracked landing covers a late flight or a slow bag belt.
If you are comparing with an app ride, FLL's ride-share pickups are also on the lower level: a temporary area for Terminal 1 just beyond the taxi podium, an area near Terminal 2, and the first floor of the southern Palm Garage for Terminals 3 and 4, according to Broward County's ride-sharing page. That walk across to the garage is worth knowing about if you have a lot of luggage.
Flying into Miami instead? Our Miami car service page has fixed prices from MIA, and FLL to Miami Beach is on that page too. For any airport transfer beyond the price list, the web booker quotes any address.
Port Everglades cruise transfers
Port Everglades sits about 1.8 miles from FLL, according to the port, which makes it one of the easiest airport-to-ship connections in the country. The port reports more than 4.7 million cruise passengers in fiscal year 2025, nine cruise lines and a ferry, and it is the second year-round homeport for Disney Cruise Line. Cruise Terminal 25, home to Celebrity Edge, Apex and Beyond, has been renovated with more than US$100 million of investment.
What that means on the ground:
- Bring photo ID for everyone 18 and over. The port's security checkpoint asks for government-issued photo ID before you enter, including in a private car, per the Port Everglades arriving and departing guide.
- Arrive at your assigned time, not earlier. The port asks passengers to follow the cruise line's check-in time to keep the terminals moving.
- Pickups on return. On disembarkation day, your chauffeur waits in the designated pickup area. Porters hired by the cruise line can bring bags to private cars and limousines.
Broward County's own taxi estimate from FLL to Port Everglades is US$18 to US$21, and it is a short ride. A pre-booked car makes sense when you want the chauffeur waiting at arrivals, when a family of five needs one vehicle for everyone and the cases, or when you are going from a beach hotel or Palm Beach to the ship. If you are sailing from Miami instead, FLL to PortMiami is about 24 mi (39 km) and roughly 35 minutes on a clear road; Broward lists a taxi estimate of US$86, and the Elly8.net web booker prices it in every vehicle class. Our cruise port transfers page covers both ports.

Events, the boat show and conventions
Fort Lauderdale's calendar is shaped by the water, the convention center and a busy arena.
- Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28 to November 1, 2026. The show's official site confirms the dates, with locations including Pier Sixty-Six. Boat show week is the busiest of the year for hourly cars between marinas, hotels and dinners, and buyers often keep a chauffeur for the full day. Book now if you have not already.
- Broward County Convention Center. Next to Port Everglades, with an 801-room Omni headquarters hotel, according to the convention center. Our conference and trade show transportation page explains shuttle loops for exhibitors and attendees.
- Florida Panthers and arena concerts. The Panthers play at Amerant Bank Arena, which also hosts big touring shows. Parking lots empty slowly after a game, and a chauffeur waiting at an agreed exit is the calm way out. See our concert transportation page.
The evening out and event night package is US$475 in a Business Sedan up to US$950 in an Executive Sprinter, and hourly service, as directed, is US$95 to US$190 an hour with a three-hour minimum.
Business travel and yacht crews
Fort Lauderdale's business travelers are a mix of marine industry visitors, cruise line staff, convention attendees and executives at offices in Downtown and Plantation. A corporate car service account gives them fixed prices, a single monthly invoice and a desk that answers around the clock. Travel agents and yacht management companies can use a travel agent account to book guests and crew.
For a day of site visits, the corporate roadshow day is fixed at US$855 in a Business Sedan up to US$1,710 in an Executive Sprinter, and a full-day chauffeur runs from US$700 to US$1,400. Crew changes at the marinas often mean a Sprinter from FLL straight to the yard, with bags for a two-week charter.
Weddings, celebrations and nights out
Beachfront hotels and waterfront venues make Fort Lauderdale a busy wedding city. Our wedding limousine service covers the couple and family cars, with group transportation in Sprinters for guests moving between hotel and venue. For proms and graduation nights in Broward County, see prom limousines. Chauffeurs follow Florida rules on what can be carried in the vehicle.
The Palm Beach day trip
Fort Lauderdale's signature day trip is six hours in Palm Beach and on Worth Avenue, fixed at US$525 in a Business Sedan, US$665 in a Business SUV, US$805 in a First Class SUV, US$860 in a First Class Sedan and US$1,050 in an Executive Sprinter. The chauffeur drives you up the coast, waits while you shop and lunch, and brings you back with the bags. For a longer stay, our Palm Beach car service page has prices from the island's own airport.
The private city highlights tour, from US$380, covers Las Olas, the beach, the Intracoastal mansions and the port area in a single loop.
Elly8.net vs taxi, app rides and transit from FLL
Broward County publishes taxi estimates from FLL, which makes an honest comparison easy. These are the county's estimates for a standard taxi; rates can vary with traffic and fuel surcharges.
| From FLL to | County taxi estimate | Elly8.net fixed price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Port Everglades | US$18 to US$21 | web booker quote | Short hop, taxi is good value for two |
| Fort Lauderdale Beach | not listed | US$120 to US$315 | Chauffeur waits inside arrivals |
| South Beach, Miami | about US$80 | US$255 to US$665 (to Miami Beach) | Longer I-95 drive |
| PortMiami | about US$86 | web booker quote | Cruise luggage, groups |
| Miami International | about US$72 | web booker quote | Airport-to-airport connections |
Public transport is real here too. Broward County Transit Route 1 stops at the Rental Car Center, free shuttles run from the terminals to the Tri-Rail station at Dania Beach, and Brightline runs an airport connector shuttle from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at a flat per-person fare, all according to the county's ground transportation page. For one traveler with a carry-on heading north to West Palm Beach in daylight, the train is a sensible choice.
A pre-booked chauffeur is the better call when you land late, travel as a family with child seats, have cruise or golf luggage, or need to be on time for a meeting or a ship. App rides vary with demand and boat show week is busy. Our chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft guide sets out the trade-offs in more detail.

Can you take us from FLL to our cruise at Port Everglades?
Yes. Give us your flight and your ship, and we time the pickup to your boarding window. Everyone 18 and over needs government-issued photo ID at the port's security checkpoint, so keep passports in your carry-on rather than checked bags. For families with cruise luggage, a Business SUV or Executive Sprinter fits everyone in one trip.

Do you have child seats?
Yes, child seats are available on request. Tell us each child's age and weight when you book and the seat will be fitted before pickup. If you are traveling with a stroller and cruise cases, choose a Business SUV or Executive Sprinter so there is room for everything.
