From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami.
Each fare below covers the whole vehicle for the one-way run, locked the moment you book and left untouched by traffic, the hour, or how many ships share the morning. Tolls and fuel are already inside the number.
Cruise mornings at the Port of Miami move in waves, so the pickup is built around your ship rather than a clock. Once the vessel is cleared and your bags are in hand, walk out to the terminal curb where the driver is already positioned. There is no parking-garage detour and no waiting on an app to match a car somewhere across the port. Send the assigned terminal ahead of time and the arrival is staged to your ship’s real docking, with the driver watching the schedule as it updates. Luggage help is part of the pickup, so the bags go from the terminal to the vehicle without a scramble on the sidewalk.
The hotel sits at 1700 Collins Avenue in South Beach, a short walk from the ocean and from Lincoln Road Mall, the pedestrian strip lined with shops and cafés. The Art Deco Historic District, Española Way, and the New World Center are all close enough to reach on foot once your bags are dropped. South Beach is where many cruisers spend a night on either side of a sailing, and the causeway hop keeps the ship within easy reach. Arriving straight from the vessel means the pastel facades of Ocean Drive and the quieter side streets open up without a second transfer. For check-in times, parking, and room questions, the property itself is the place to ask; the ride simply delivers your group to the door of Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami.
The route covers about 6.3 miles and takes 21 to 23 minutes, crossing the water on the MacArthur Causeway and following SR A1A into South Beach. Off-peak the causeway runs clear; only rush-hour volume nudges the trip toward the longer end of that window. Because the single variable is causeway traffic, the pickup keeps a small cushion instead of a slot cut to the minute, and the group rides door to door to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami without a change of vehicle.
A booked transfer assigns one specific vehicle to your party at a fixed price, staged for the ship’s arrival. That is a different thing from stepping into a curbside queue after a week at sea and hoping a car is free at a fair rate. The fare holds whether you dock at dawn or mid-afternoon, the driver knows the terminals, and the built-in wait window means a slow line does not leave you stranded. For a private one-way run this short, certainty at the curb tends to matter more than speed of hailing.
A 50% deposit confirms the vehicle for your sail date, and the remaining balance is handed to the driver on the day of travel. Pricing is one-way and charged per vehicle, so a couple in the SUV and a family filling a van each settle a single group fare rather than a per-person total. Meet-and-greet at the terminal comes with the ride, not as an added line on the bill.
A few extras sit outside the quoted price, each named up front so the total holds no surprises:
Yes. The leg back from Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami to the Port of Miami is billed at the same one-way fare. Book both directions in one reservation and each pickup is timed to your embarkation and your return sailing.
The pickup adjusts on its own. The driver tracks both the posted and the actual arrival, so a long customs or disembarkation line does not cost you the ride or the rate. The vehicle stays reserved until you reach the curb, with no re-booking required.
No — every booking is private. The SUV or van carries your group alone across the 6.3-mile run into South Beach, with no added pickups and no strangers aboard. From the terminal to 1700 Collins Avenue, the car belongs to your party for the whole trip.
Plan on roughly one checked bag plus a carry-on for each of the five SUV seats; the vans carry proportionally more for larger cruise parties. If you’re traveling with oversized items, note it at booking and the right vehicle is confirmed before your date.
Written messages reach the driver fastest. Send your terminal, sail date, party size, and any child-seat or name-sign request over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748, and your pickup time and fare are confirmed for the run to South Beach.
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.
I was traveling solo and arranged a private car to meet me at the cruise terminal once the ship docked and take me right over to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami, it was absolutely worth booking.
My partner and I walked off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and there was space for everything.
The two of us set up a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami. The ride from the terminal to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami was easy the whole way, and we could just unwind after the cruise. Booking was easy, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami, it was well worth it.
Mi esposa y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo rematamos con un auto privado esperando en la terminal para llevarnos a Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami — sin líos en el puerto. Pasamos del barco a la recepción de Hampton Inn & Suites South Beach Miami sin una sola complicación.
