From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall is a hotel set in the Kendall area of Miami-Dade, roughly 17.3 miles by road from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami. It sits away from the downtown crowds, on the southwest side of the city, which makes it an easy landing spot for cruise travelers who want a calm base rather than a spot in the middle of the action. The ride follows SR-836 for most of the way, so the drive stays on one main corridor from the terminal to the hotel entrance.
When you step off the ship on Dodge Island, your chauffeur is already staged at the terminal curb and takes the bags from there. The drop-off is at the hotel’s own door, not a corner or a curb down the block, so you walk straight from the vehicle into the lobby with your luggage handled at both ends. For anyone arriving in a large group, the same door-to-door plan holds whether you book an SUV or one of the two van sizes.
The hotel side of things — check-in timing, luggage holds, and the amenities on the property — is best confirmed on the hotel’s own official page, since those details can change and we don’t manage the front desk. What we cover is the leg between the port and the door: a single reserved vehicle, timed to your ship’s actual arrival, with a bilingual chauffeur who knows the terminals and the route into Kendall.
Plan on 29 to 43 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, depending on the hour and how SR-836 is moving. The pickup is tied to your ship’s real arrival with room to spare, so an early walk-off or a slow disembarkation doesn’t leave you scrambling for a car. Your chauffeur waits at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, loads the luggage at the curb, and drives the roughly 17.3 miles to Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall as one direct leg.
The vehicle is yours alone — no added stops and no strangers along the way. Bags stay in the trunk from the port straight through to the hotel entrance, and the driver handles them again at drop-off. If you want the same vehicle to run the reverse trip on embarkation day, the flat one-way rate covers that leg too, planned around your sailing time.
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.
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.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
We cruised as a group and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall after disembarking. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
After our cruise, my partner and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que desembarqué, así que reservé un auto privado del puerto a Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall. El conductor me dejó en la entrada de Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall, y no a media cuadra. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal.
The kids were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall with no drama. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we knew right where to go.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Comfort Suites Miami – Kendall. The car seat was ready when we got in, which was a real help that morning. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
