From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Design Suites Miami Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Design Suites Miami Beach sits at 5445 Collins Avenue, Suite CU14, along the Mid-Beach stretch of resort row. This is the part of Collins Avenue where the towers line up one after another and the ocean is only steps past the buildings, so the address places you right in the heart of the Mid-Beach scene rather than off on its own edge somewhere.
Step outside and the Miami Beach Boardwalk runs the full length of this stretch, giving you an oceanfront path that connects the resort row without ever putting you on the traffic side of the street. The Faena District brings an arts scene into the mix between the towers, and Indian Creek sits close by as well, so a short walk in almost any direction turns up something to do once you have dropped your bags. Collins Avenue itself carries the shops, cafes and the general Mid-Beach rhythm right past the door.
When your chauffeur brings you in from the cruise terminal, the drop-off covers the streets around the property, and you are set down at the address itself rather than a block or two away. On the return leg, look for your driver at the main entrance at the scheduled time. Because everything here is walkable, the plan is simple after a long travel day: the vehicle handles the ride from the ship, your bags come out at the curb, and the boardwalk, the Faena District and the rest of Mid-Beach are all within easy reach the moment you are settled in.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that starts at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island and ends at the entrance of Design Suites Miami Beach. Once your group clears the terminal hall, the driver is already staged and coordinated by message as you walk off, so the wait belongs to the chauffeur, not to you. Every bag is loaded at the curb and rides inside the vehicle with your party, and the car is reserved for your group alone the whole way across.
From the port the route runs by way of the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195, which keeps the roughly 10.3 miles to the property a single, direct leg rather than a series of stops. Count on about 28 to 30 minutes terminal to door, a little more on a busy disembarkation morning when the exits stack up. The rate is agreed before service day and does not move, and fuel, standard tolls and luggage help are already inside it.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
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.
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.
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.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a smooth ride over to Design Suites Miami Beach.
Our whole group booked one van straight from the terminal to Design Suites Miami Beach, and nobody had to think about a thing. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
I wasn’t going to fight for a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I booked a private car from the port to Design Suites Miami Beach. No lot to comb through — I just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Design Suites Miami Beach so we all checked in together. Getting to Design Suites Miami Beach first thing meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
Esperando en la acera apenas salimos, y un trayecto tranquilo hasta Design Suites Miami Beach.
