From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West puts you in Doral, the corner of Miami where corporate offices, golf, and easy dining all share the same grid. It is the kind of address that suits both the business traveler with meetings lined up and the family that wants a calm base after a week at sea. The neighborhood is built for arrivals: wide roads, familiar names, and everything you need within a short drive rather than scattered across the city.
The pull of Doral is no secret. Golfers gravitate here for the famous golf resort, and business travelers keep the offices of corporate Miami busy through the week. Between the two sits CityPlace Doral, where the restaurants and shops give you somewhere to land in the evening without going far. If you stay on after the cruise, Trump National Doral and Downtown Doral are close by, and the Palmetto Expressway threads through the area to connect you with the rest of Miami when you want to explore.
What you find on arrival is a place set up for coming and going. Doral is naturally oriented toward travelers passing through the Airport West side of the city, so the roads move and the layout stays simple. Drop your bags, settle in, and the dining of CityPlace or a round at the golf resort is only minutes away. It is a practical, unfussy base with real character underneath, and it leaves you close to both the quiet of Doral and the wider stretch of Miami whenever you decide to head out.
The run from your ship to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West covers about 11.1 miles and normally takes 23 to 30 minutes by way of SR-836. Your driver is staged at the terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your ship’s actual arrival, so there is someone waiting when your group clears the hall. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and from there it is one direct leg to Doral with nothing to change or transfer along the way.
Traffic on SR-836 is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is built around your arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, climate-controlled and quiet, with your luggage stored the whole way. You step off the ship, you find your driver, and you ride door to door to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West on one flat fare locked in at booking.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
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.
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.
Para um desembarque sem estresse, minha esposa e eu combinamos de um motorista privativo nos receber no terminal de cruzeiros e nos levar até Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West.
O fecho perfeito do cruzeiro — privativo, pontual e fácil. Era um carro privativo só para a nossa turma — sem ninguém para esperar — bem melhor que ir com estranhos.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West after disembarking. No app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready. The ride from the terminal to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West was easy the whole way, and we could just watch the city go by.
Los pequeños estaban medio dormidos cuando bajamos, y una van privada ya en la acera llevó a todos a Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West sin dramas. Sin pelear con una app — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
After our cruise, my wife and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West.
