From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Doubletree Club Miami Airport 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
Doubletree Club Miami Airport sits inside the MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels wrapped around Miami International Airport. It is a practical base for anyone whose trip pivots on a flight and a sailing, set along the Blue Lagoon corridor where a night’s stay and an early departure fit together without a long haul across the city. The location is built for movement: land, settle in, and be ready to roll the next morning.
The surroundings are all about easy access. Blue Lagoon and the Miami Springs Golf Course sit within easy reach of the hotel, and the road network is close at hand — NW 36th Street runs nearby, with the Palmetto Expressway and the Dolphin Expressway feeding the wider region. That mix of water, greenery, and quick highway links is what makes this pocket of Miami so convenient for travelers who value a straight shot to and from the airport and the port.
Anything about the stay itself — the rooms, the front desk, the amenities — belongs to Doubletree Club Miami Airport’s own team, and the details live on their official page. Our part begins at the curb. Many guests use this hotel as a fly-in point the night before a cruise, then move straight to the ship in the morning; others land after their sailing and want a calm place near MIA before heading home. Either way, the hotel anchors the airport end of the trip while the ride connects it to the water.
After you disembark at the PortMiami cruise terminal, your chauffeur is already staged before you clear the luggage hall, so the wait is theirs and not yours. Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, handles the bags, and loads everything into the vehicle you reserved — the SUV or van is yours alone for the run, never pooled with another group. There is nothing to settle at the curb and no line to join; you walk out and the car is there.
From the pier it is one clean run to the door of Doubletree Club Miami Airport, following SR-836 across town. The trip normally takes 25 to 32 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour of the morning. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat fare, so nothing is added on the day, and full luggage help is part of the service at both ends. You settle in, and the hotel is next.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
Bajando por la pasarela sin compañía, lo último que quería era resolver el traslado en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado esperando para ir a Doubletree Club Miami Airport. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue confiable y puntual. Sin caos en el puerto — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Doubletree Club Miami Airport made it painless. The car was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado ahí mismo para nosotros para llevarnos a Doubletree Club Miami Airport. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
Con los pequeños, reservar un auto privado de la terminal a Doubletree Club Miami Airport significó nada de correr la mañana del desembarque. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t worry about the timing getting over to Doubletree Club Miami Airport.
