From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Aladdin Hotel Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Aladdin Hotel Miami sits in the MIA Airport District at 901 S Royal Poinciana Blvd, a quiet pocket of the city built around easy movement rather than sightseeing. The area wraps around the Blue Lagoon corridor, where travelers fly in, sleep close to the water, and roll out to the ship the next morning. It is a practical base for anyone joining or leaving a cruise, and your ride ends right at the hotel door with your bags handled for you.
The neighborhood is stitched together by the roads that make Miami move. The Dolphin Expressway, known as SR-836, runs nearby, and the Palmetto Expressway is close as well. NW 36th Street feeds the surrounding blocks, keeping the airport, the port, and the hotel within an easy connected loop. If you plan to stay on after your sailing, that same road network puts the rest of the city within reach without any complicated transfers to sort out.
What you find on arrival is straightforward and calm. There is no shuttle line to queue for and no dragging luggage across a lot to reach a door. Your chauffeur brings you directly to the entrance, helps with the bags, and the drop-off is done. Because the Blue Lagoon area leans toward convenience over crowds, it suits families coming off the ships week after week, and it suits a cruise schedule that runs on its own clock. The hotel becomes a simple, well-placed anchor for the days on either side of your voyage, close to everything the airport district connects to.
From the pier it is one direct run to Aladdin Hotel Miami, following the Airport Expressway and the SR-112 Toll for roughly 7.8 miles. Plan on about 20 to 25 minutes terminal to door, quiet hours to rush hour, with traffic on those two roads being the only real variable. That is why your pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, rather than a slot cut to the minute that leaves you rushing off the gangway.
The day itself stays simple. You clear the terminal, your bags come to the curb, and your chauffeur is waiting for the single ride to the hotel. Luggage rides inside the vehicle, and the driver handles it at both ends. The car is reserved for your group alone, so there are no added stops and no strangers along for the trip. It feels closer to riding with friends than flagging down a car, personal and organized from the port straight to the door.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
A child seat can be installed for $15 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
My husband and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Aladdin Hotel Miami before we even sailed. We were dropped right at the front door of Aladdin Hotel Miami, not down the block. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Aladdin Hotel Miami painless.
There were eight of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Aladdin Hotel Miami was the easy way. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. Getting to Aladdin Hotel Miami with no detours meant we could settle in without waiting around.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Aladdin Hotel Miami took the worry away.
We cruised as a group and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Aladdin Hotel Miami after disembarking. We were dropped right at the front door of Aladdin Hotel Miami, not down the block.
