From $120 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hostel Hallandale Beach 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Hostel Hallandale Beach sits right where Hallandale and Dania Beach meet, a stretch of coast that straddles the county line just up the road from the cruise piers. It is a relaxed, budget-friendly base a short walk from the water, which makes it an easy landing spot for travelers who want a beach afternoon the moment the cruise ends. Drop your bags at the door and the sand is within reach.
The setting puts you close to some of the area’s better-known stops. Gulfstream Park brings its mix of horse racing and shopping, and Dania Pointe rounds out the day with outlet stores and open-air dining. Design lovers have the Design Center of the Americas, known as DCOTA, nearby, and there is an old-Florida fishing pier for anyone who prefers the slower pace of the coast.
If you plan to stay on after the sailing, the neighborhood keeps you busy without a long drive. Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park is close by in Dania Beach, an easy pick for a morning outdoors before or after your beach time. Between the racing and shopping at Gulfstream, the outlets at Dania Pointe, and the water a few steps from the property, Hostel Hallandale Beach works well as both a quick overnight and a longer coastal stay. Arrival is straightforward: the vehicle brings you to the front door, and your driver helps with every bag from the curb so you can settle in and start the trip.
This is a door-to-door private transfer from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Hostel Hallandale Beach, with your driver waiting at the exact terminal your cruise line uses. Pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, so the ride waits for you rather than the other way around, and there is a courtesy window built in while you clear customs. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and the driver handles them from the curb to the door.
From the pier it is one straightforward run north along I-95, ending at the front door of the property. Plan on 36 to 53 minutes depending on the hour, with the port’s busy weekend mornings already factored into the timing. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone for the whole trip, so it is a single quiet leg from the terminal to the coast with no stops added along the way.
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.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
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.
We didn’t want to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Hostel Hallandale Beach. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
Took all the worry out of getting off the ship — so easy. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Hostel Hallandale Beach was the best part of the day. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Hostel Hallandale Beach, it was absolutely worth booking. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
Esperando en la acera apenas salimos, y un trayecto tranquilo hasta Hostel Hallandale Beach.
Cruising with the family, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van waiting at the terminal Hostel Hallandale Beach was worth every bit. Booking was easy, we got everything in writing, and everything went exactly as planned. The car was fresh and comfortable, and there was space for everything.
