No US cruise port sits closer to a major airport than this one, and two agencies publish the same taxi fare for the few miles between them.
FLL to Port Everglades, mode by mode
Broward County runs the airport and the port publishes its own guidance, so most of this table is read off two official pages that agree. The port's own FAQ puts the airport 1.8 miles from the port, which is the gap between the two properties rather than a drive; by road the terminals are 2.9-4.4 miles on our own free-flow routing (OpenStreetMap/Valhalla, 2026-09-22).
| How you travel | Price as published | Time and distance | What the source says |

Questions people ask about this route
How much is a taxi from FLL to Port Everglades?
Eighteen to twenty-one dollars. Broward County publishes that figure on the airport's transportation page and Port Everglades repeats it on its own. The county calls it an estimate subject to a fuel surcharge, and one other county page prints twelve dollars instead.
Is there a shuttle from Fort Lauderdale airport to Port Everglades?
Not one selling seats at a published price. The operators serving this route quote by the vehicle, and the port itself points travelers to hotel transport instead. For the few miles involved, the $18-$21 taxi is usually the shared option that actually exists.
How long does it take to get from FLL to Port Everglades?
Fifteen to twenty minutes for three to four miles of road, and the traffic lights on the access roads decide which end of that you get. The port asks you to allow at least forty-five minutes between your flight landing and cruise check-in, for luggage and terminal paperwork.
How do I get from Port Everglades back to Fort Lauderdale airport?
The same short hop, and the same published taxi figure. If your ship berths at a terminal you did not depart from, the port also publishes an $8 flat taxi rate for moving between its own terminals, which is the cheaper fix for a long walk.

Local Tip
FLL's rideshare pickup is curbside outside your specific terminal — check the app for your concourse rather than heading to a central spot. Scheduled hotel and shuttle pickups run a fixed morning schedule, not on demand, so confirm the exact time and the last run when you book. If you're arriving internationally, budget 60-90 minutes for immigration and customs even though the ride itself is barely 2 miles. If you are flying in from outside the US, sort your entry authorization before you book: most visa-waiver travelers need an approved ESTA, it is not issued at the airport, and without one the airline will not board you. Apply through the official CBP site at esta.cbp.dhs.gov — never a paid intermediary.
