From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort sits along the calm northern reach of the barrier island, in the North Beach area, well away from the denser southern end of the coast. This is the quieter, more open side of the shoreline, where wide and uncrowded sand sets the pace and the Atlantic is only a short walk from the property. For travelers stepping off a cruise, it makes an easy landing point — a spot that trades crowds for space and lets the trip wind down rather than ramp back up.
The surrounding area is simple to settle into. Bal Harbour Shops anchor the neighborhood a short distance off, and the Surfside beachwalk runs close by for a slow stroll along the water. The northern stretch of the island holds its unhurried tone through the day, so the resort reads less like a packed strip of hotels and more like a coastal base you can genuinely relax into once the sailing is behind you.
There is more within easy reach once your bags are down. The North Beach Bandshell sits nearby for open-air music and events, and Haulover Park is close at hand for beach and open green space of its own. On arrival you move straight from the vehicle to the resort’s own entrance, luggage and all, with no long walk to close the trip. For the particulars on rooms, parking, and check-in times, the property itself is the best source to confirm the details of your stay.
From the pier the trip is a single run north, following the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 across to the barrier island — roughly 11.2 miles that usually takes about 26 to 29 minutes, lighter or heavier with the traffic of the hour. Your driver is staged and waiting before you clear the terminal hall, so the moment your group is through, the vehicle is ready at the curb and the wait belongs to the driver, not to you.
Everything rides with you in the one vehicle — every bag loaded, your party alone inside, and a straight path from the ship to the resort’s own entrance. There is no line to join and no juggling luggage on the sidewalk while you sort out a ride. It is door to door, planned around your ship’s schedule, and it ends right at Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
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.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
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.
Our group came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was rock solid.
So glad I pre-booked — clean car, great driver, zero stress at the terminal, right to the door. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort, it was well worth it.
Nuestro grupo bajamos del barco juntos y reservamos una van privada del puerto a Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort. Había espacio de sobra para todo el grupo y todo el equipaje del crucero en una sola van hasta Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort made the morning easy. Booking was quick, we got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
No pudo ser más simple — un conductor esperando, maletas cargadas, y un viaje cómodo hasta Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
