Drive down the western part of the state; and, take 595 from I-75 right into Eller Avenue.

in other words rent a car

it is virtually your only option

driving a car you can do this in a few hours

if you try something like a bus or a train there is no direct route and it could take more than a day

a hire car or limo will cost $$$$$$$

I just rented a car from Lauderdale to Melbourne - one day one way - for $31

For renting a car try Budget using either code U096100 or Y937800.

Both Spirit Air and Southwest fly direct from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale and it is usually pretty cheap. I think last time I flew it was $29 one way.

Excuse the alliteration, but that is a fair fare. Also, what was the cost to the airport in Tampa, and the cost from the airport in FLL to Port Everglades?

As an addendum to my ealrier post, it appears, depending upon the cost to and from the various airports, that flying may be the best bet. The trip by car would probably be about 4-4 1/2 hours, while the total time by plane and taxi might not be much less, at least the OP would be leaving the driving to someone elase.

One exception to posts 6 and 7. If you follow that advice, you will miss viewing the gators on Alligator Alley.
