From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport 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.
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.
Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport sits about 9.7 miles by road from the Port of Miami, out along Mid-Beach where Collins Avenue runs through resort row. This is oceanfront ground: the coast is right there, and the sand is a short walk once you have set your bags down. After a morning of disembarkation, that closeness makes a beach afternoon the natural next move — drop everything at the property and head straight for the water.
The stretch has its own rhythm. An oceanfront boardwalk runs the full length of Mid-Beach, so a walk along the path is on hand the moment you land ashore. Between the towers, the Faena District adds an arts scene, giving the area more to do than sun and surf alone. Your drop-off covers the door of your stay and the streets around it, with bags carried to the curb beside you rather than left at a distant lot.
There is more within reach than the shoreline. Indian Creek threads through the neighborhood, and the Bass Museum of Art sits nearby for anyone who wants a break from the beach. Guests often fold in a stop or two once they have settled — the boardwalk one direction, the Faena District the other — with the whole of Mid-Beach’s resort row spread up Collins Avenue. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and the vehicle is staged for the morning, so the first thing you handle on land is where you want to be, not how to get there.
Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, not a distant curb, and the pickup is timed to your ship’s disembarkation. There is half an hour of free waiting built in, so customs lines never cost you the ride. From there it is a private car reserved for your group alone — no other stops, no sharing — with every bag handled from the terminal to the vehicle.
From the port the route runs by the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195, a 9.7-mile hop that usually takes 26 to 28 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Tolls and fuel are already in the price, so nothing is added on the day. The car pulls up at the entrance of Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport and your bags come out to the curb beside you.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My wife and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport. An easy, low-key handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport with nothing left to sort out. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Cruising with the kids, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight over to Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport was perfect.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
De crucero con la familia, queríamos el puerto resuelto, así que una van privada directo hasta Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport nos hizo el día. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. El van estaba impecable, con el aire perfecto tras el barco.
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport. We went from the ship to the front desk of Doral Ocean Beach Resort Heliport with no stress at all. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
