From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Beacon South Beach Hotel 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Beacon South Beach Hotel sits in the heart of South Beach, the walkable grid where the classic Miami Beach postcard comes together in just a few blocks. Step outside and the neighborhood unfolds in every direction: the sand at Lummus Park Beach a short stroll away, the pastel facades of Ocean Drive around the corner, and the Art Deco Historic District wrapping the streets you will walk each morning. This is the part of the coast people picture when they imagine the city, and the hotel puts you right inside it.
The location does the heavy lifting for a cruise stay. Española Way, with its narrow lanes and cafe tables, is close enough for an easy dinner, and Lincoln Road Mall, the long pedestrian stretch of shops and restaurants, sits within comfortable reach. The New World Center is nearby as well, so an evening plan is never far. Because the whole district is built for walking, you can leave the vehicle behind once you arrive and cover most of what draws you here on foot.
With the beach right on the doorstep, the hotel makes an easy landing point after a cruise. Drop your luggage at Beacon South Beach Hotel, change, and walk to the water, which is that close. Anything about the stay itself, from rooms to check-in details, lives on the hotel’s own page; our part is getting you and your bags to the front entrance. Look for your driver at the main entrance, and the rest of South Beach opens up from there.
The run from the port to Beacon South Beach Hotel is a single, direct trip, roughly 5.6 miles along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway, usually 17 to 19 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the arrivals hall, so once you step off the ship and finish disembarkation, the vehicle is already waiting. There is no scramble for a ride and no stops along the way; the car belongs to your group alone.
Your bags go straight into the vehicle with a hand from the driver, lobby to curb, and the fare already covers fuel and standard tolls. A 30-minute courtesy window at the port absorbs a slow gangway, so a delayed walk-off never costs you the pickup. From the pier it is one clean run to the front entrance of Beacon South Beach Hotel, door to door, one group, one locked fare.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
There were six of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Beacon South Beach Hotel was the easy way. Getting to Beacon South Beach Hotel with no detours meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. Booking was simple, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly.
All of us walked off together and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Beacon South Beach Hotel — everyone in one vehicle. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. No stress at all.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Beacon South Beach Hotel was the smart move. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to lift a thing. There was plenty of room for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to Beacon South Beach Hotel.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje hasta Beacon South Beach Hotel hizo la mañana fácil. El conductor nos dejó directo frente a Beacon South Beach Hotel, y no a media cuadra.
Nosso grupo descemos do navio juntos e combinamos uma van privativa do terminal de cruzeiros até Beacon South Beach Hotel. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi totalmente sólida.
