From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Hilton Garden Inn Miami Brickell South.
Each rate below covers the whole private vehicle for a one-way trip between the cruise terminals and Brickell, set the moment you reserve and untouched by demand or the hour.
PortMiami spreads across Dodge Island, and every cruise line works out of its own terminal building. Name the line and the sail date when you book, and the vehicle is staged at the right terminal for the morning you step off. Coordination runs by message as you clear the hall, so the handoff at the curb stays quick even when several ships empty together. Self-assist walkers usually reach the sidewalk first, and groups waiting on checked luggage follow a little later — either pace is fine. Bags load at the terminal curb, and the trip toward Brickell starts as a single direct leg.
Hilton Garden Inn Miami Brickell South sits at 2500 Brickell Ave, inside the tall financial quarter just south of the Miami River. Brickell packs offices, condo towers, and restaurants into a walkable grid, with Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Centre a few blocks from the door and Simpson Park’s shaded hammock close at hand. The block runs on the quieter, residential-leaning end of Brickell Avenue, an easy base for both port days and downtown meetings. For room types, parking, and check-in questions, the property is the right source — see Hilton Garden Inn Miami Brickell South’s official page.
The distance is small — about 3.8 miles, which US-1 covers in roughly 11 to 13 minutes depending on the hour. From the terminals the route crosses downtown and drops south into Brickell, ending at Hilton Garden Inn Miami Brickell South with no change of vehicle. If you have a check-in time or a meeting waiting, the run is short enough that a morning arrival still leaves the day open. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, so the pickup is timed to your real disembarkation rather than a set clock, and the brief US-1 hop is already priced into the flat fare.
Holding the date takes a 50% deposit, and the balance is handed to the driver on the day of the ride. Every fare is one-way and charged per vehicle, so the figure you book is the figure for the whole group. Meet-and-greet is included at no charge. A held name sign at the curb can be added for $20, and child seats are available on request for $15 each. When a plan calls for an added stop, extra waiting runs $45 for each 30 minutes.
Standard hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM. A ride starting outside that window carries a small addition tied to the vehicle booked:
An app hands you whatever car is closest at whatever the surge reads, which on a disembarkation morning can jump fast. A reservation works the other way: one set vehicle, one fixed price, staged for the ship you name. Everything is arranged before the ship docks, so there is nothing to sort out on the pier. After a week at sea that certainty earns its keep — a driver who knows these terminals, luggage help at the curb, and a fare that holds steady while everyone leaves the ships at once.
The one your cruise line occupies on Dodge Island. Share the line and the date, and the car is staged at that building, with a message thread keeping the meeting point clear as you exit. You walk from baggage straight to a reserved vehicle instead of searching a pickup lane.
As soon as your group is through the building. Self-assist passengers frequently reach the sidewalk inside the first hour, while checked-luggage groups take a bit longer. The booking includes a half hour of free waiting at the port, so a slow customs line never costs you the trip to Brickell.
Yes. A child seat is available on request for $15 each, so note how many you need and the child’s age when you book. The driver brings them to the terminal, ready to fit before the group loads.
The pickup moves with the ship. The port’s real arrival is tracked, so a late berth simply shifts the meeting time — no penalty and no rebooking. The same flat rate and the same private vehicle stay reserved for your group.
To reserve, send your cruise line, terminal, sail date, group size, and any child-seat or name-sign request, and a pickup time with the fare comes back confirmed for your vehicle. Message WhatsApp or call 786-682-8748 to lock the ride to Hilton Garden Inn Miami Brickell South.
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.
