Highly recommend using park at the ports when needing an affordable SAFE place to park your car during a flight out (or cruise). From the online booking process, to the ease of checking in and parking, the shuttle to the airport and the return trip pickup, everything was smooth and easy. That said. Give your self ample time so you don't run late, if parking at like 2 am, there is one shuttle driver, and if they are Out, you have to wait for the to return from The airport, and while the airport is CLOSE, FLL has had a ton of traffic these past few days, and it's not their fault, if they are stuck in traffic and need to make it back to You. EVERYONE I interacted with, was top notch. It was My first time, but def won't be my last, using PARK AT THE PORTS... read more

Our cruise was in February on an unusually cold week. We drove around a little bit looking for ParksbythePorts. Directions were not very clear and we ended up at the casino entrance speaking with a person through a intercom to find out how to get to the lot. I would bet this has happened to others. Perhaps, Parkbytheports could place signage at that casino entryway to let people know how to get to their location. Once we arrived, they have a covered seating area for customers. Customers can stand or sit and wait for the porters to tell us which shuttle to board. A portable toilet is available which my mom used and said it was clean. Thankful for that. What I was not thankful for, was waiting in the cold while the workers shuffled luggage around. I thought, why not allow us to board our shuttle to get out of the cold. Which after 20 minutes, I spoke up and suggested. They complied. The driver was safe and we arrived to our ship. I was given a claim card for our return trip. The card indicates that the shuttle makes rounds every 45 min during the timeframe we waited. We wait 1 1/2 hours for a shuttle. The first shuttle that came kept driving by without stopping. Very strange. We thought, he must be turning around but nope. We were trying to be patient but 1 1/2 hours is ridiculous. I called and spoke with Michael who said I was suppose to call them when I got off the ship. I said your card says, "It is not necessary to call". Michael asked if I received a text message? No. He said he's sending a driver. After the call, I immediately began receivng text messages, "click to request a ride", "Your driver will be..", "driver has arrived". IMO, a ball was dropped and picked up. PBTP is a good service and I wouldn't take that away but there are areas in need of improvement. Be clear - do customers call you or will you show up at the times indicated on the back of the claim card? Purchase what is needed to ensure the waiting area is comfortable for your customers (cold, rain). Consider additional signage around the casino entrance to help those of us that easily get lost. :-) read more

Joanna is the reason for the 5 stars!!! She was super nice and patient over the phone getting our reservation situated. At the site got to see her and her beautiful smile was infectious. We had a laugh since we spoke 10 minutes prior. Nothing fancy about the parking lot but efficient enough. They take your luggage from the car, you park and get on the shuttle. Pretty smooth operation. Would definitely park here again. Joanna, ¡Muchas gracias por el fantástico servicio! read more

Wonderful option to sidestep the crazy traffic around the port. This is an easy, inexpensive option! You are dropped off at your terminal, and with a quick text, you're picked up after your cruise. It's a no brainer! read more

After I placed the reservation online they charged me 28 dollars extra the day I dropped off my car . I hade used this place before and never hade any problems but my last visit the driver was rude and not so friendly . read more

It was a wonderful experience. We pulled in and gave the the reservation number to the attendant. Be sure to make a reservation online or you might not be able to get a space. The pickup went smoothly and we were on our way to the airport. The trip took about 20 minutes to be sure to allow for that and any possible traffic delays. Our plans changed while we were gone and we ended up coming back early and they gave us a credit for the two day difference in time. We came back to the cruise port and got a baggage handler to take us to the pickup point. I would suggest that you get clear instructions about where the pickup point is because I would have had a hard time finding it. All in all a great experience. Highly recommended. read more

1:15 from shuttle request to car. Communication was a Bunch Of lies. Drop off was wonderful read more

Finding this company was a happy accident. We were looking for safe, just parking while on our cruise, and Park by the Port had a lot of positive reviews, so we gave them a try. From my perspective, the delivery of the transport to the ship was very informative. I knew where they would be when we arrived back. My vehicle was safe, and I got to keep my keys, so I was not worried about someone entering it while on the trip. I will be returning on our next adventure. read more

Friendly service. Quick drop off and pickup - even during the busy Thanksgiving holiday travel rush! Of no one is at the trailer when you arrive just call the number and wait for the attendance to arrive as they also drove the shuttles. read more

I have used this service 3-4 times over the past year after my regular place closed down. I can say I am very happy with the experience. I usually have 4am parking reservations and have had absolutely no problems with anyone being there at that hour. Parking is secure and well lit. The shuttle drivers are very personable and helpful with luggage, with the exception of one that I had. However, last night absolutely sold me on Park by the Ports. After my flight when I arrived at my car about 615pm Sunday night (2/15), my battery was completely dead. The young man who was my shuttle driver cared to take the time (there was no one waiting for the shuttle) and gave my car a jump start. I hate that I did not get his name because he was awesome! read more

Always a great experience. Left my window down by mistake and Joanna took it time to put plastic to cover my window in case of rain very impressed they cared about their customers. Also new computerized pick up system no more calls just land grab your bags and text the new system gives u exact eta of your pick up. Thanks again to all the employees. read more

As a first time customer, we were pleased with Park by the Ports. The location was easy to find, just minutes from Ft. Lauderdale Airport. The price was very affordable for our 10-day trip. There was very little waiting time, both going to the airport and on our return trip. We will be comfortable using this business in the future. read more

Arrived at lot and was taken care of right away, staff was pleasant and very helpful with our luggage. Our ride to the sea port was on a small orange bus that was crowded but it got us there and attendant was polite. They told us on return to look for a bus to take us back to lot ( wrong) ! If I hadn't asked a porter at terminal to help us with bags I would have had trouble finding shuttle. He knew were shuttle was, a bigger white shuttle in back of others and not visible. Anyway he got the majority of my tip money, all in all not a terrible experience but pickup experience could have been better! read more

Great place to park and the gentleman are very helpful with luggage. Efficient and organized! Short wait for shuttle to and from port and would definitely park there again! read more

Great service, price and convenience! I alway use them instead of others. I would recommend to all!! read more

Car was damaged from landscapers in their parking lot. All they told me to do was check the ticket that says they're not responsible for any damage. Do NOT park there if you don't want to risk your vehicle being damaged at your expense. read more

I want to let you know that three weeks ago I had my first experience with this company. First-class service. We arrived and in less than 15 minutes with our luggage, the car parked, and everything we were at FLL airport. On our return trip, I called and they were already waiting for us. VIP service at an incredible price. My three children used it and received the same treatment. They deserve 10 stars. Keep up the excellent service. Best regards read more

Without a doubt the fastest, most efficient service I have ever had. And I thought I just found a place with a great price. Yelp says 5/5, I say 10/10. read more

Parking was easy and worry free. Our shuttle arrived promptly and the driver was courteous and helped put our bags in the van. Quick trip to the airport to drop off another passenger and then on the port. The van was clean and in good condition. All seatbelts were working. I would have given 5 stars but it was really hot and they needed to turn the ac up a little. Otherwise a great ride. read more

Park By The Ports - Quick ride to the port - Parking Near Me - Dania Beach, Florida

Park by the ports is one of the most efficiently run operations I've experienced. After driving 3 hours across the state, it is a relief to arrive and turn the responsibility for timely arrival to the cruise over to someone else. We always stop at the casino to use the restroom, then head to the back of the lot for Park by the Port. Always enough people around to help you unload the bags and then point you to a parking spot. In a matter of minutes, (we've never waited more than 4 minutes) a friendly driver in a well kept van/little bus drives you to the pier. They make sure your bags are off and in the hands of the cruise terminal baggage handlers before they leave it. It's a very smooth operation. We have used them 5 or 6 times in the last few years and have never been disappointed. read more

Or driver Wayne was amazing. He was professional, kind, and made sure he got us to the airport on time. He has helped us at this location numerous of times and every time the service is exceptional. Thank you Wayne! I highly recommend this place. read more

Very good. Quick check-in. Line w a short wait. Zip right over to the Port. Good experience.

I strongly do not recommend you use this parking service. There is a main shuttle that takes you from the parking lot to the cruise port but there is NO shuttle from the main shuttle pickup to your vehicle. I am a senior and that was a bit of a walk. Plus the driver of the main shuttle was an extremely aggressive driver. Lastly, overall the people who worked there were unpleasant. read more

BEWARE! We reserved parking here and thought it was by Port of Miami. When we arrived and they pointed out the error, we were told we could contact to get a refund. They even provided a business card. Unfortunately, now back from our cruise we are now being told that there can be no refund because a. we facilitated the reservation online (thru their website), and b. the "reservation was already started". Wow!! So, we paid for 2 weeks of parking and never parked there, and they're ok with that customer service. If you have an alternate choice, go with a company that cares about their customers! read more

I've used park by the ports on about 4 different occasions when flying out of FLL and every time they've been great! The drivers are always very kind and helpful. I've never had any issues with drop off or pick ups when using them and their prices are incredibly reasonable. I would definitely recommend this business. read more

We parked here Sunday, June 29 to take a cruise out of Port Everglades. Online registration was seamless. The reception kiosk and passenger unloading canopy are most easily accessed from the *second* "parking" sign that you see on the right once you are on Fronton Blvd and are in the farthest corner of the lot diagonally from the casino. Being concerned about much earlier reviews mentioning flooding, I asked if there was a less-prone area of the lot to leave our car in. You park. You keep your keys. Our luggage was immediately handled for us by a waiting driver and we were efficiently delivered to the cruise port. The last Friday night and Saturday morning of our cruise brought ten inches of rain dumped on South Florida by a severe tropical depression. Whether by luck or otherwise, a return shuttle turned out to be present and loading the minute we got off our ship. Once again our luggage was handled immediately and we were efficiently returned to the lot. There were a few sporadic car-sized puddles at a few places around the lot, but no flooding of any consequence. Drivers were polite and earned their tips. More convenient and cheaper than walking with your luggage from the Port Everglades garage - highly recommended. read more

service is going down, they stopped going down rows to get your vehicle in the rain, they are driving aggressively and my car was damaged two weeks ago on the lot ... something is going on with this place read more

We've been on several cruises in the past. The parking process with Park By The Ports was a breeze. The best ever! We did not have any issues or concerns during the entire process from the initial call. Everyone were very accommodating and polite. I also wanted to mention the price is very reasonable, the parking attendant is very nice and every time I called to ask a question, I spoke immediately with an actual person. Also, the vans are comfortable & a short ride to the port. Thank you "Park By The Ports" for a stress free & very pleasant experience. read more

Park By The Ports - Family at Park By the Ports Heading on 10 Day Cruise! Great experience! No issues at all! - Parking Near Me - Dania Beach, Florida

Parked there for a cruise and it was great. Good shuttle service both ways. Good location and great customer service.

FLL departure flight: When I arrived at the parking lot there was no one at the trailer. I called the phone number and the person said he'd be right back. They had one person working in the trailer and driving the shuttle. This almost made me miss my flight. When I got to the gate they were already boarding. FLL arrival: Arrival went smooth, I called the dispatch he let me know where to wait for the shuttle and the shuttle arrived about 20 minutes later. I still like the convenience of the location's proximity to the airport, but they need to be fully staffed at all times. read more

Parking was verty easy and I did not have to worry. The shittle service was excellent. Driver very professional and on time from where I was to be dropped off and picked up. I felt safe parking at the port. The price was great. read more

We have used this parking place before. They have clean new vans to take you to the airport Cruise terminal pick up is fairly quick also. Very pleasant drivers, and it's close for fll or cruises! read more

Price is right, close location, great shuttle service! I would use this again over self parking at the port or using a hotel park and cruise package. This was my first time using it so there were a few things I didn't understand which could have been problematic. First when you get to the lot, if you don't head into the designated area for parking, there weren't any signs that I saw outside of that area that I saw telling me there was a specific portion of the parking lot for Park by the Ports. An attendant came and informed me so I was able to park in the correct spot, but I could have returned form my cruise with a big fat ticket or having been towed. Thankful it turned out but just a tip for other newbies! There is no nearby building with a restroom, so you'll have to wait until you get to the port to use the restroom at the port. We had a little bit of a drive and to check out of our hotel before getting to Park by the Ports, so needless to say we were scurrying to the port restrooms by the time we got there! Once again all turned out ok because there's a set of restrooms outside of security at the port...albeit not the most convenient to get to, it all worked out. We did not get optimal disembarkation time, yet still practically walked right onto our shuttle. I read others concerns about returning shuttle being a long wait, and it wasn't my experience. Hopefully when we go again, we will have the same experience. I agree that the shuttle drivers were nice and offered good service loading luggage and everything! Any small concerns and inconveniences were absolutely worth the price. read more

Great option to parking at the airport. Half the price and convenience. Great services

Overall i do recommend this. Ive used it before and will again. Nice staff and affordable. Good location also

After a couple of nightmare incidents of trying to uber from the airport from late night flights, we decided to look into options of parking by the airport. Pricing for Park by the Ports is definitely the cheapest around. Booking online was simple. Checking in day of drop off was quick and if you have to park further into the lot, the drivers are kind enough to drive to pick you up from your car in the lot instead of having to lug the bags across the lot. Upon return, we gave the number a call. Longest I've had to wait was probably 20 minutes for the shuttle to arrive and bring us back. We have used this service three times now this year and will keep using it over uber and lyft. If you're gone for a short weekend, this is definitely cheaper than price of uber to and from the airport. Staying for a week pretty much equals the same cost for us as uber to and from the airport. read more

I just made a reservation with Johana of Park By The Ports. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. It was so easy making the reservation and she even gave me explicit directions on how to get to the parking area, since I don't live on the east coast of Florida. I was also very happy to hear that they have shuttle drivers arriving every 20 minutes when I go to and return from the cruise. Thank you, Johana! read more

Parking was easy. Shuttles were prompt and frequent. Driver was courteous and handled the bags for us. Access to the parking lot was easy. Have used twice now and would use again! read more

We've all been there... should I Uber or pay to park? I was facing this question this past weekend when I had a quick weekend trip. I checked how much the airport price was ($15/ day + tax) and checked Uber which would have been between $25 - $30 each way. So I looked online for other options and found Park by the Ports. They are located at the Dania Casino parking lot. They have reserved space for their customers, you can reserve online for $5/ day (plus tax). I hadn't had a good experience with one of these services in Miami so this time I did a bit more research. I read reviews here on Yelp, and other sites, and noticed the owner (or manager) took the time to respond to the reviews - this made me feel a bit more confident about their service. I also had to contact the company as the time of my arrival was set wrong on my reservation and I go immediate response. So far, so good! Day of my trip came. The address they give on the reservation is easy to find, especially if following a GPS. Check-in process was a breeze. You don't even have to get out of your car. You go directly to the kiosk with your reservation and that's it. You are given your ticket to come back, and you park your own car. Yes, you get to keep your keys, so no need to worry of anyone moving your car at any time when you're gone. As soon as I got out of my car, no later than 2 minutes later I was in the shuttle on my way to the airport. Spacious van with AC, and driver takes care of loading luggage, plus opening and closing doors for you. On my way back, the process was equally smooth. I called the number on the ticket they gave me when I parked in in less than 5 minutes the driver was there picking me up. My car was exactly where I had left it, in perfect condition. And I was out of there in no time, on my way back home to relax, without any issues, as anyone should after a trip. Honestly, I am so happy I found this parking lot and definitely planning on using them again whenever I need to drive to the airport myself. Great price, professional and friendly service and absolute peace of mind. read more
