From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites puts you in Fort Lauderdale, a coastal city that layers a promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and the galleries of Las Olas Boulevard, with the cruise piers of Port Everglades marking its southern edge. It is a practical place to settle for a night before a sailing or to unwind for a few days after one, close to the water and the parts of town most visitors come to see.
Step outside and the city opens up quickly. Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach sit within easy reach of the stay, and the Riverwalk along the New River and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are both nearby. That mix means you can spend a morning browsing shops and galleries, an afternoon by the sand, and an evening near the river without going far, all from one central address.
When your ride pulls up, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and handles the bags from curb to lobby, so the last stretch of the trip is the easy part. With the coast right there, a beach afternoon is the natural next move after you dock — drop your luggage at Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites and walk toward the water. For anything to do with rooms, parking, or check-in, the property itself is the source to check; those details belong to the hotel, while the ride to its door is what we handle.
This is a door-to-door ride reserved for your group alone. Coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your party clears the exit, and the chauffeur is coordinated by message as you come out so you are met at the right spot rather than left scanning a crowded pickup lane. Your luggage rides inside the vehicle with you, carried from the curb and loaded for you, and the same steady hands unload it at the hotel entrance.
The pickup is planned around your ship’s actual arrival, with thirty minutes of complimentary wait built into every port booking, so the pace of customs and disembarkation never costs you the ride. From the terminal the chauffeur takes the direct route north to Fort Lauderdale and drops the group at the door of Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites. Fuel, standard tolls, and luggage help are already inside the flat fare, so the number you booked is the number you pay.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
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.
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.
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.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds getting over to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites. The van was fresh and comfortable, and there was space for everything.
My partner and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites. Booking was quick, we got a solid confirmation, and everything matched what we were told. The ride from the terminal to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites was quiet and relaxed, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
There were six of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites was the easy way. The car was spotless, and the AC was perfect after the ship. Getting to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites so we all checked in together. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port. There was a board with our name on it at the exit, so we didn’t have to look around.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites a breeze. We were dropped at the entrance of Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites, not across the street. The ride from the terminal to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites was easy the whole way, and we could just settle in.
