From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon 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.
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 Miami Airport Blue Lagoon sits at 5101 Waterford District Dr, set into the MIA Airport District a short run from Miami International. The setting is the Blue Lagoon corridor, a pocket of hotels and offices built around easy access rather than the beach. For a traveler stepping off a cruise, the appeal is plain: a comfortable place to land close to the airport, with the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) right there to carry you back out the next morning.
The neighborhood is quiet and functional. Blue Lagoon itself gives the address its name — the water and its walkable edges sit within easy reach of the stay, and Miami Springs Golf Course is close by for anyone with a free afternoon. NW 36th Street runs nearby too, threading the district’s shops and services. It is the kind of base people choose the night before an early flight or the night after a long sailing, when the priority is a short, predictable hop rather than a scenic one.
On arrival, the practical side is handled at the hotel’s own front desk — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in are covered on Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon’s official page. What we take care of is getting your group there. The drop-off is at the entrance on Waterford District Dr, bags carried to the curb beside you, so the move from ship to room is one unbroken step. If a company cruise or client event brought you to the port, a fixed fare and a scheduled vehicle from this address keep the itinerary accountable.
The route is a straight shot. Your chauffeur follows SR-836 for the roughly 8.5-mile run between the cruise terminal and Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon, a trip that usually takes 21 to 27 minutes depending on the hour. Disembarkation mornings stack up at the terminal exits, so the driver is staged before your group clears the hall — the waiting is theirs, and the road does the rest.
It is door to door. Pickup is at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island; your driver meets the group at the curb once you exit, loads every bag, and keeps the luggage in the vehicle the whole way. At Blue Lagoon the drop is right at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you. One group per vehicle, a single locked fare, and a chauffeur who knows the port — nothing added on the day.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
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.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
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.
My husband and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon before we even sailed. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
Descemos do navio prontos para uma cama de verdade e um motorista já esperando para nos levar até Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon deu o tom do resto da viagem. Sem brigar com aplicativo — andamos do terminal até um carro que já estava lá.
Tan fácil como sonaba — un conductor esperando, maletas cargadas, y un viaje cómodo hasta Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon.
Nuestra familia de cinco bajó del barco en PortMiami y el conductor cargó todas las maletas del crucero para el viaje a Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon. Pasamos del barco a la recepción de Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
My wife and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon — not one worry at the terminal.
