Arriving by Cruise in Miami or Fort Lauderdale? Get Safe Medical Transportation From the Port

4 min read

Disembarking at Port Miami or Port Everglades and need a wheelchair, stretcher, or accessible ride? AVIVA MedTrans provides professional medical transportation directly from South Florida cruise terminals.

Disembarking in Miami or Fort Lauderdale? We Have You Covered

South Florida is home to two of the busiest cruise ports in the world — Port Miami and Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. Millions of passengers arrive and depart from these terminals every year. For passengers with mobility limitations, chronic conditions, post-surgical needs, or anyone requiring accessible transport, getting safely from the cruise terminal to a hotel, home, hospital, or airport can be a challenge.

AVIVA MedTrans provides professional, licensed non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) directly from Port Miami and Port Everglades — with trained drivers, accessible vehicles, and 24/7 availability.

Who We Help at the Cruise Ports

Our cruise port medical transport service is ideal for:

  • Wheelchair users who need ADA-accessible vehicles with ramps and tie-downs
  • Passengers who became ill or injured during the cruise and need transport to a local hospital or clinic
  • Elderly passengers who need assistance and cannot use standard taxis or rideshares safely
  • Patients traveling for medical treatment arriving by cruise before their appointment
  • Post-surgical or medically fragile passengers who require stretcher transport
  • Passengers with bariatric needs who require specialized vehicles

Port Miami — Downtown Miami

Port Miami is located in downtown Miami, just minutes from Miami's top hospitals including Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami Hospital, and Baptist Health South Florida. AVIVA MedTrans can pick you up directly from Port Miami and transport you to any destination across Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach counties — including direct connections to Miami International Airport (MIA).

Port Everglades — Fort Lauderdale

Port Everglades is one of the largest cruise ports in the world, serving Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. We provide pickup directly from Port Everglades terminals and transport to hospitals, hotels, private residences, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) — as well as anywhere else in South Florida.
