From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Margarita Real in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Hotel Margarita Real gives your group a home base out in West Broward, on the calmer western side of the region rather than in the middle of the downtown crowds. After a week at sea, that setting is easy to settle into: you check in, drop the cruise luggage, and the pace slows down. It is the kind of stay that works well whether you are winding down before flying home or using the room as a launch point for a few more days in South Florida.
The location puts you within easy reach of some of the area’s better-known stops. Hard Rock Stadium and Sawgrass Mills both sit close by, so a big-event night or a full day of shopping is a short hop rather than a project. Flamingo Gardens is nearby too, and Interstate 75 runs right past this part of West Broward, which makes it simple to point the car toward the Gulf coast, the Everglades, or wherever the rest of the trip takes you.
This is the planned western side of Broward County, the belt of suburbs built out around Weston, Davie, and Pembroke Pines. The whole area is edged by the Everglades levee, so the streets stay orderly and green with open land just to the west. For travelers coming straight off a cruise, that means a quieter, more residential base than the beachfront strips, while the freeway keeps the rest of South Florida within easy driving distance of the front door.
The trip is a single door-to-door run. Once your ship clears and you step off with your bags, your chauffeur is already waiting at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, so there is no wandering the pier looking for a ride. Every bag goes into the vehicle with hands-on help, from the terminal curb into the trunk, and then it is one straight run out to Hotel Margarita Real with no shared stops and no detours.
From the port it is about 20.6 miles along I-95, and you can plan on roughly 38 to 55 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone for the whole run, so the group travels together at one locked fare. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the I-95 traffic is already built into the plan.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $15.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Hotel Margarita Real. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir. La sillita para el niño estaba lista cuando subimos, lo que fue una gran ayuda esa mañana.
For an easy morning off the ship, my partner and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Hotel Margarita Real.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to Hotel Margarita Real. The ride from the terminal to Hotel Margarita Real was quiet and relaxed, and we could just unwind after the cruise. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
Los dos dejamos listo un traslado privado para después del crucero y así no lidiar con el gentío del puerto camino a Hotel Margarita Real. El auto estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, con lugar para todo. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
I didn’t want to gamble on a ride the morning I disembarked, so I arranged a private car from the port to Hotel Margarita Real. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Hotel Margarita Real, it was money well spent. The ride from the terminal to Hotel Margarita Real was easy the whole way, and I could just unwind after the cruise. Highly recommend.
