Quick answer
- FLL long-term parking: $2 per 20 minutes, $20/day maximum in Hibiscus Garage levels 3–7, Palm Garage levels 2–4 and Cypress Garage levels 6–9.
- Port Everglades' own garages: $25/day maximum, no reservations, and you walk (or take the port shuttle) to the ship.
- The port sits next to the airport. A taxi from FLL is listed at $18–$21, so the airport only saves money if the ride costs less than the $5/day gap.

FLL long-term parking rates
Broward County's airport parking page lists long-term parking at $2 per 20-minute interval, up to $20 per day, on these levels:
| Garage | Long-term levels | Daily max |
|---|---|---|
| Hibiscus Garage | Levels 3–7 | $20 |
| Palm Garage | Levels 2–4 | $20 |
| Cypress Garage | Levels 6–9 | $20 |
The airport's parking complex has more than 11,000 spaces. During peak periods, self-parking and valet can temporarily close when they fill up.
FLL vs the port garage on a 7-night cruise
| Option | Daily max | 8 days | Getting to the ship |
|---|---|---|---|
| FLL long-term garage | $20 | $160 | Taxi or rideshare to the port, both ways |
| Port Everglades Heron or Palm Garage | $25 | $200 | Walk, bridge, elevator or port shuttle |
| Cheapest off-site lot on our list (Le Meridien Port Everglades Lot A) | $7.00 | $56.00 | Check the lot's shuttle |
The $40 saving at FLL disappears if you pay for two taxi rides at the port's listed $18–$21 each. FLL parking makes most sense if you're flying in or out the same trip anyway.
Getting from FLL to Port Everglades
Port Everglades says it's adjacent to the airport and asks you to allow at least 45 minutes between landing and cruise check-in. Bring photo ID and your cruise documents: the port checks them at its entrances (SE 17th St., S.R. 84 and I-595/Eller Dr.).
Parking at the port instead
