From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Intercoastal Hotel & Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Intercoastal Hotel & Resort sits in the stretch of coast shared by Hallandale and Dania Beach, just south of Fort Lauderdale’s airport. It is a shoreline address in the truest sense: check in, drop your bags, and the sand is only steps from the door. For a group stepping off a cruise, that closeness is the whole appeal — plenty of guests trade the ship’s deck for a real beach the same afternoon they come ashore.
The surrounding area gives you more than the water. This is a corner of South Florida where casinos, quiet state-park beaches, and the Design Center of the Americas all sit within easy reach. Gulfstream Park and Dania Pointe draw guests once they have settled in, and the Dania Beach Fishing Pier is close by for anyone who wants a slower morning. It is an unhurried pocket of the coast, less crowded than the bigger beach towns to the south, with plenty to fill the days between arrival and departure.
What you find on arrival is a place built for people who want the ocean without the fuss of getting to it. The neighborhood’s edges are clear and walkable, the beach is honest sand rather than a promise, and the mix of dining, gaming, and design nearby means you rarely have to go far. Whether your trip is a single overnight before a flight home or a longer stay after the cruise, Intercoastal Hotel & Resort keeps the coast within reach and the pace comfortably your own.
The trip runs door to door. Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur is coordinated by message and meets you at the curb — not a parking lot, not a distant lot you have to find on your own. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and the ride is exclusively yours from the pier to the entrance of Intercoastal Hotel & Resort. No stops for other passengers, no waiting on a group you have never met.
Your booking carries thirty minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of customs never costs you the car. Self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour; groups with checked luggage take a little longer, and that is built into the plan. When you reach the hotel, your chauffeur handles the luggage at the door, and the fare you locked at booking is the fare you pay — no cruise-morning surprises.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
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.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
Éramos seis bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Intercoastal Hotel & Resort fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin estrés alguno. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. Sin estrés alguno.
With kids in tow, arranging a private car from the terminal to Intercoastal Hotel & Resort meant no stress on disembarkation morning. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. There was a name sign at the exit, so we didn’t have to look around. No stress at all.
Viajando com os pequenos, reservamos uma van privativa para estar no meio-fio e levar todos até Intercoastal Hotel & Resort. O trajeto do terminal até Intercoastal Hotel & Resort foi confortável e sem pressa, e pudemos só nos acomodar. Reservar foi rápido, recebemos os detalhes da busca claros, e tudo saiu conforme o combinado. Reservaria para o próximo cruzeiro.
Primera vez de crucero solo desde PortMiami, y tener un auto privado esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Intercoastal Hotel & Resort me quitó la preocupación. El conductor me dejó justo en la puerta de Intercoastal Hotel & Resort, y no a media cuadra.
Mi esposa y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo rematamos con un auto privado listo en la acera para llevarnos a Intercoastal Hotel & Resort — sin una sola preocupación en la terminal.
