Port Everglades Hotels With a Cruise Shuttle (2026): Fees & Park-and-Cruise

Last updated: October 20, 2026 · By Ronen, Stay Near The Venue

Dozens of Fort Lauderdale hotels advertise a “cruise shuttle”, but the details differ a lot. Some hotels run their own vans, others use a third-party operator, and almost all charge per person, each way. This guide lists hotels that run a shuttle to Port Everglades, with 2026 fees where we could check them, plus the park-and-cruise packages that let you leave the car at the hotel while you sail. For every area near the port, including the beach and 17th Street, see our main guide to hotels near Port Everglades.

Quick answer: The cheapest shuttles are at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Hotel (about $8 per person) and the Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port (about $9 per person). Both are about a mile from the terminals. Most airport-area hotels charge $15–$20 per person. Park-and-cruise packages at hotels such as Four Points by Sheraton and Hyatt House can include up to 7 nights of parking, compared with up to $25 a day in the port’s own garages.

Tips for booking a hotel cruise shuttle

• Sign up for the port shuttle at check-in. Seats on the popular 10 a.m.–noon runs fill up on busy weekend sailings.
• Ask whether the fee is per person or per room, and one way or round trip. Most are per person, each way.
• Some third-party shuttles take cash only, so carry small bills.
• For three or more people, a taxi or rideshare from a 17th Street hotel can cost less than per-person shuttle fees.
• Check how a park-and-cruise package handles return pickup. Many include only the ride to the ship, so plan how you’ll get back to your car.
• Book a refundable rate. Cruise itineraries and flights change, and free cancellation keeps you flexible.
